Private assisted psilocybin therapy
Introduction to Psilocybin therapy
Psilocybin, the active ingredient in “magic truffles”, could be used during controlled therapy to treat a variety of negative psychological, emotional, and physical symptoms. These truffles are legal to ingest in Netherlands. Truffle Therapy and its healing qualities is for anyone who wants to gain insight into themselves and their life. Together with the truffles, we are exploring the root causes of mental and emotional imbalances and how you can discard your old patterns and rediscover your authentic self.
For 1-2 persons.
Benefits
Brain studies have shown that the brain increases its communication with the different parts of itself under the influence of psilocybin. Through brain scanes they have seen how participants brains lit up with activity after taking the psilocybin. Thousands of new connections form, linking brain regions that don’t normally talk to each other. It can be explained like this, if you imagine your brain is like a snow globe, the snow that is set on the bottom is your patterns, thoughts and habits. It’s sort of fixed and it’s not easily changed. What happens when you ingest psilocybin is that you shake this snow globe and your brain starts to work differently. After a session your snow is coming down to the ground and you can from there find a menu of options that you didn’t see before. Your mind has expanded and got restructured from your normal patterns, behavior and habits. It’s like reprogramming the operating system of a computer.
We are most addicted and medicated in recorded history and the problem is that we numb ourselves. We can’t say there is the “bad stuff” – “here is vulnerability, grief, shame, fear, disappointment, i don’t want to feel that, im gonna take a pill and forget about this”. We can’t numb those hard feelings without eventually numbing authentic joy, gratitude, happiness… and eventually we are looking for our purpose and meaning. Psilocybin assisted therapy is a direct way to become more in contact with our emotions and look what’s blocking us from feeling that passion and curious feeling you had like when you were a child, but maybe slowly fade away. This form of therapy alters a new perspective, a different consciousness, bringing us in a space of increased clarity and a healing compassion towards ourselves and others.
Through our life our experience is shaping us and our perception of ourselves and how we are experiencing the world, that’s what’s forming our so-called “core belief”. Our core beliefs also result in how we react and respond to life’s challenges and our mental health. But that doesn’t mean that our core beliefs are always the absolute truth as we may think. These perceptions can become destructive patterns and cycles that contribute to mental suffering. With Psilocybin we can deep dive into our core beliefs and question them and challenge them. This is what you can also do in “normal talk therapy” but the difference with using psilocybin as a tool is that you can find new more healthy core beliefs in a much faster way.
It’s very clear that in our modern era or society we can lose our vision of divinity, meaning, purpose and that can result in a “spiritual emptiness”. Studies show experiments that people who have ingested psilocybin in a therapeutic way have experienced a sense of pure awareness and a merging with ultimate reality, a transcendence of time and space, a feeling of sacredness or awe, and deeply felt positive moods like joy, peace and love. People say that they can’t possibly put the experience into words. Their reaction to psilocybin is that it is one of the five top most meaningful experiences of their lives and helping them not be afraid of the afterlife.
The session
A Private Psilocybin Therapy Session includes first a free meeting (via Zoom) when I’m checking if this kind of therapy is for you.
If we decide that this kind of therapy suits you, there is then room for 2 more sessions (via zoom) to get to know you, discuss your dosage and to help you to find and clear out your intention. These calls are included in the price. In these calls we’ll also go over practical things that will help you feel prepared for your upcoming session.
Before ingestion we’ll repeat your intention with the ceremony, maybe you have some question you want to lift through the session. There is also room for breathing exercise, meditation or a yoga session to calm down the nervous system.
After that it’s time for the ingesting of the truffles.
After the ingestion you’ll lay down on a mattress and have your eyes covered with a meditation/sleeping mask, which induces more of an inward experience.
My role is to be your guide through the healing and therapeutic qualities of the truffles. During the session there will be opportunity for dialogue and processing. My focus is to make you safe and encourage you to explore your mindset under the influence of the truffles.
The session normally takes 5-8 hours depending on what you need.
It is a good idea to not plan to do anything after the ceremony. It’s good if you book a calm hotel where you take your time to rest and don’t get disturbed. (If you have booked a ceremony at Het zonnehuis I will drive you back to Harlingen or Leeuwarden after the session).
After the ceremony you can choose if you want to either have a call on the following day and/or in the days/weeks following your Psilocybin experience. 2 calls are included after the ceremony and I suggest you have one the day after and one 1-3 weeks after the ceremony.
From the airport in Amsterdam (Schiphol) you can easily take the train to Leeuwarden (2 h train ride).
When you arrive at the train station we will go by a car to: Het Zonnehuis, Meerswal 9, 8759 LR Exmorra. It’s a place near de nature, where I’m also guiding for psilocybin retreats in groups.
The reason you would choose an assisted psilocybin therapy rather than ingest the psilocybin on your own would simply be because of set and setting. Set and setting refers to both your physical surroundings when you ingest the psilocybin and also your mindset when undergoing a psychedelic experience.
A part of my work as your guide is to give a physical space where you feel comfortable and safe. For mindset, the focus is to make sure you are mentally prepared for the experience.
