7 Tips for Handling a "Bad" Trip
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 чер 2024
- Working with psilocybin #mushrooms can sometimes feel incredibly difficult. Even seasoned psychedelic voyagers may occasionally be confronted with challenging experiences that subjectively feel unpleasant, or even terrifying.
These challenging #psychedelic experiences are commonly referred to as "bad" trips- and yet, here at MycoMeditations, we've seen again and again that these experiences are not bad at all. Given the right set and setting, difficult psychedelic trips are almost always profoundly healing and formative. They teach powerful lessons, bring deep healing, and guide us to new ways of living.
With that said, what can we do to best navigate a challenging psychedelic experience?
In this video, #MycoMeditations therapist Denise Rue shares 7 tips for navigating a challenging psychedelic experience.
1) Find a trustworthy facilitator, avoid tripping alone
2) Cultivate an attitude of openness and non-resistance
3) Use deep breathing to remain grounded and relaxed
4) Move your body
5) Change your surroundings or environment
6) Bring an object with you that is grounding or calming
7) Use music to accompany your trip
Keeping these tips in mind, you too may find that a challenging psychedelic experience presents an incredible opportunity for healing, transformation, and growth.
Thanks for watching, and mush love from the whole #MycoMeditations family!

Had a “bad” trip last weekend my ego or consciousness or both were shattered and I was alone trying to piece myself back together it was wild but for sure needed it was terrifying didn’t think it would end and I felt as if I was going insane but that feeling of holy sht life’s beautiful without drugs when you finally are back to normal is awesome 10/10 would recommend just remember you will go back to normal after and everything is going to be a ok love you all remember be safe and have fun!
I love you too
The same thing happened to me. I was to thinking i was going crazy. My bro didn t support me taking lsd and i take it so he was juging me and that is when everithing started going wrong. I called a man that sell it to me and he saved me bro.
Thanks for this. Had a very difficult trip recently and just couldn't let go and anxiety took over in a bad way! First "bad trip" in 30yrs. Thanks for the tips ❤️🍄
Thinking you are going to die, is an ego trick. The ego is literally dying, temporarily and it's trying to make you think that your ego IS you. It isn't, your ego is just mask to wear for society. This is how you experience the fact that you are more than your ego. A great lesson! You can think about it and believe it intellectually, but this is the actual experience.
Nice job Denise. This is the best and most succinct presentation I've seen on how to navigate a "bad trip".
We're glad you enjoyed it :)
Denise, you are such a delightful presence and speak with clarity and kindness. Thank you for your 7 points and your image. I doubt we shall be able to come to Jamaica, but you make the longing sweeter!
Thanks for sharing Mycoo
Great job Denise...very informative
this video is excellent. simple, straightforward, important.
Thanks I was freaking out but this helped
Thank you so much for this video 🙏❤️
I did mushrooms for the firt time yesterday I took 1.5 grams the recomended dose for beginers and I had a bad trip, first I started getting nauseous and then anxiety and paranoia kicked in, everything felt out off control, every noise annoyed me and the more I wanted to get out the worst it got. I felt sick like I was going to die and I kept thinking it would be okay if I did. I wanted to throw up so I did and felt better for a while but the anxiety came back, I laid down on the floor and there I stayed it felt like I the floor was going to swallow me, I tried to sleep but it was hard I kept seeing stuff even with my eyes closed then guess I sleept for a few minutes and when I woke up I felt calm and at peace with myself. What I took out of this trip´s that I´m a control freak and have severe anxiety, I did get to see some nice visuals and the colors were beautifull that part was pretty coll. I really want to give mushrooms another chance but I´m scared I´ll have a bad trip again.
Damn I had an eight for my first time and alone I wasn't in the best mindset but still had a good first trip it almost went bad but I just had to remind myself that it's be okay and in a couple hours you'll be fine, drinking water helped also.
I felt the same way, i will never do shrooms again! It made me feel so sick. I feel better now but I dont even understand how I had a bad trip..
That happened to me on my second magic mushroom trip, you just have to overcome it, try not to overthink and make sure your in a comfortable space in comfortable clothes with other people
Same thing happened to me my first time, the come up was so cool to me until it went bad. I thought I was never gonna be the same and have a ego death, at the same time I think it helped me address my anxiety where it was coming from . Also I did it completely alone which probably didn’t help. I think the next time I do them I will have a trip killer in case it goes really bad, and someone with me. Overall I think it was a beneficial experience.
Get a trip killer like Seroquel or Xanax
Well done! You did best
Thank you, I found this helpful
We're glad Mustafa!
Thanks so much you really just changed my whole view on my last trip i appreciate this video so much i feel savveedd!!!!
Hey I’m doing a 305ug tab soon but it’s my first time doing acid I realise it’s a high dosage for a first time what can I do to prepare and have a good time
QWERTY UIOP go into it with and open mind don’t expect a certain experience make sure your doing it when it fits right with the day!!! Just chill and listen to music make sure your around at least one of your closest friends and your gonna have a good ass time😎
Antonio Mora thanks for the advice what kinds of things should I expect I’ve done a bit of searching but a lot of the information is general so I’m not sure what to expect from a specific dosage
QWERTY UIOP i never really know because my friends take high dosages and dont trip that hard and when i do it affects me pretty hard so it just depends on the person the amount your taking is perfect and you should be coolin
Antonio Mora I’m quite sensitive to drugs like a quarter of a 300mg pill had me feeling euphoric and I’ve been on a weed tolerance break I’m getting two tabs so I was thinking about halting the first one and taking a half tab two times then on my third try the full tab
Lovely stuff
Thank you!
Tip # 2 is 💯
Another helpful effort in a fine series! If only tip #1 were more feasible, given our current legal context...
Cheers to all at MycoMeditations!
Thank you Tom!
One affirmation I especally like is "I breath, therefore I receive".
Just went through a semi-bad trip. Coming up was actually torture. I was trying to puke up the shrooms because how bad I felt. I wanted to go to the hospital so they could put me to sleep. Then, out of nowhere, the pain cleared and I had a good time the rest of the time. Im not touching shrooms again. Lsd is where its at
Bro u just explained the exact experience last night im mind blown
Allways start with a very small dosage, just enought for feeling a moderate effect.
When you feel the soft effect wait further 15 minutes and then taken a second small dosage (with a cup of water). It will strenghten the trip nearly instantenely, or in only a few minutes.
When needed, take a third small dosage.
This way, the trip comes allways soft and pleasant and controllable. And you can stretch it's lenght until you get hungry. :-)
Shrooms are the greatest thing in the world! Handle them with respect, they are living beeings and in their own way somehow intelligent!
If you respect them with the cleanest heart, they will teach you erverything and fullfill all your wishes!
But they can be harsch if you treat them without respect ...
They are not a dead substance, like LSD. They are like a friendly ghost, but they want to be treated well!
@@EDVDompteur I guess I get where your coming from. It's just hard when every time I take lsd, I always have a good time. First time I take shrooms, (3g only) I'm struggling to not puke them up right away because I have such a strong gag reflex. It just wasn't pleasant while lsd is tasteless and easy asf to ingest.
@@BlackPantherFTW I'm from germany, btw.
3g is much too much for an easy trip!
Start with 1,5g for Cubensis, or 0,5g(!) for cyanescens. It will give you a nice trip with CEVs and OEVs and a ton of good feeling!
Don't hear what all these "heroes" say, which ingest absurdly high amonunts!
3g is a high dosage, don't underestimate that!
And I strongely advice never taking such a high dosage at once! Better split it like written in my last post and you will have a nice experience, even if the sum of all the small dosages result in 3g at the end of day.
With Shrooms you can allways ingest a bit more, if the starting dosage was too low for good effects, but never start directly with a high dosage, or you will earn bad feelings. Let them roll out slowly inside you.
And allways take them on a completly empty stomach!
And never take them "just for fun", but in an open mood for receiving the highest teachings! The mushromm ghost will richly honor that!
Haha this was literally me
I just came back from a rough one, the shroom told me I'ma stupid monkey and think I'm the center of the universe but I ain't shit.
You aren't stupid, maybe misguided. That's me at least..
❤❤❤
baby your voice was calming enough 🥺
And if i never find a trip sitter? there is no one like that in my life. Guess im doomed to a life time of pain and insignificance
Did my first trip 2 days ago. Alone without any tripsitter. What I found helpful was going into it knowing that I may feel anxiety and nauseous, but these feelings are normal and won't last the whole trip. Don't hold on to anything you feel. It's just a feeling and it will pass. Meditation and training on not holding on to feelings and emotions also helped me alot. Before the trip i cleaned my house so there was no clutter. Did some yoga and breathing exercises before taking the shrooms. I did 2g of Psilocybe cubensis which i made a te from. I mixed it with lemon and ginger aswell. It tok 15-20 min before the effects started and I was tripping really hard 1-2 hours into it. I found music helped me a lot aswell. I felt like I was going to puke but again I was just riding the feeling and it passed. Would def. do it again, but I found beeing alone was better than beeing with someone. I don't think a tripsitter who haven't taken psychedelics before is of any help. If i wanted any help I would have the person talk to me really. Anything they say just amplifies
The biggest thing I have learned is not to fight anything that is happening. You have to learn how to meditate, how to do breathing exercises and ground yourself. If you go into it with any fear or begin to be fearful during the trip you will regret having done it. I truly believe you either have to have an experienced sitter with you or prepare yourself before hand. Do you have to be in a very positive mental space, no fear, totally open to whatever psilocybin has to teach you and able to continue to let go and not fight anything that happens. I can't stress this enough. If you're not mentally ready and don't have a trip sitter, don't do it.
Find a hobby my guy. I found my trip buddy through star citizen of all places
Rules I break:
"Don't trip alone"- always breakin that one. but then again, I'm never alone in the wilderness. It's where most of my friends are.
"Anchor"- I don't think I follow this. But my fishing rod and my selection of flies could be that anchor.
"Music"- Nope. Refuse to listen to tunes when I can hear each cricket song, every trout rise, every deer stalking through the underbrush, and the birds! I know almost every bird song in my fave areas. So...maybe I don't break any rules?
I fucking needed this
Are heart palpitations normal when taking shrooms? I get them every time I take shrooms.
if only I had someone to trip with
Same
@@dahannes6739 lol any of u guys in LA?
It’s risky. Somebodies else’s bad trip might push you “south” Trip sitter - so somebody who does not take, that can serve you food and drink, bring you to toilet and remind you when you have been there too long, make sure you don’t wander off - is much better. But could be difficult to find, who would want to do it, not the nicest thing. I would never trip sit anybody.
Let's take a trip
idk if anyone can help me but i had a lot of weed and ik u usually don’t experience ego death with weed but it’s hard to explain what happened. i felt like everything was nothing, there was no meaning and as if the world was a total simulation. i’m trying to recover from addiction with otc pills and i can tell my body is goi g through withdrawals. im not sure if this is a possible contributor to this. i just have been very out of it and anxious. any help or possible advice would be amazing thank you
How are you now?
Sounds like depersonalization
I love you
Hello, may I ask you how you handle a bad trip in retrospect? I had medium bad trip yesterday evening and I am looking for ways to positively cope with it
Just understand why it was bad the more you think about the experience the better you come out of it
Hi Hestia, How is it now in retrospect? I recently had a very challenging trip and am integrating it.
@@sp633 Hey, SP, I feel better about it now, but for me it was definitely a sign that I still have a lot of issues that I need to work on, so no wonder I became paranoia. Fortunately, it did not leave me with any trauma, as I was surrounded with a lot of supportive and experienced trip sitters who knew how to calm me down :) How is it for you? What triggered your bad trip? For me it was definitely taking too much and having memories from a prior bad trip that left me with trauma.
@@sanne433 I took 5g by myself. I did lot of preparation of set & setting, and have a strong meditation practice. Still, when the journey unfolded and challenged my ego, I felt really distressed and freaked out (to my surprise). What initially triggered me was being approached by "a being" that was angry with me and feeling like I couldn't escape. I called one of my housemates & he came and sat with me after that, but it was then distressing not feeling like me sitter was fully there for me. Also that I was demanding his presence. I then started to experience myself as a baby covered in bodily fluids of all sorts, and felt deep shame for wanting love & support. At the time and during the come down, this experience of shame felt traumatic. There was such a thick residue of it during the come-down. Days afterward though, I am understanding this shame & needy baby as an aspect of my shadow. And really owning that, and setting an intention to grow in the direction of becoming self-soothing adult has felt clarifying and empowering.
I tried doing this during a bad trip... I got through 30 sec and went to go throw up.
Mushrooms can definitely make me panic but it will pass
I wish i knew all this before taking acid... great
Same I’m having a bad trip😭
@@ebkslick4704 same :(
@@ebkslick4704 ME TOO
@@t6amygdala just try not to think abt it listen to sum music n try to gts n drink as much water as you can.
@@jasmynnmaleah7553 you good? Did you ever go on another? I did several times in the past and ready to try again..
should we run a timer to keep a more real sense of time so we dont feel like we have been laying there for an hour watching simpsons when its only been 10 mins.
😂😂😂
Thats so true
My grandparents are Mexican and they don’t know I do mushroom but I don’t. Know how to act
I aint taking no one to the restroom. Lol
Yes, trip sitting could be awful, you basically have to be somebodies servant while the person is tripping, plus the risk person has a bad trip and you have to calm the person down.
A okay video
Make a BLOTTER PIC! Please feel free to share my website
Arhhh just had banana loaf with edibles. I don’t smoke weed ever! Lost two hours and couldn’t speak.
Lmao them edibles can be pretty intense 🤣
I'm a big believer that edibles are powerfully psychedelic for sure. Did you ever take another trip?
@@radioguy801 nope. I have in the past but that was micro Dots
@@carolfyall688 micro dots.. wow haven't heard about those in decades! Mescaline will take you to Jupiter and back lol
@@radioguy801 oh i know haha. I will never take another. It had been years since the micro dots. I honestly thought an edible would contain not much. Heck i was gone.
Having a knee pain and gonna take LSD tonight. Would it be dangerous?
Just take a low dose
@@dienosorpo thanks for replying after a month. I took a full blotter and my knee pain was gone. 😂
If you have to ask that stupid of question you should not be taking LSD in the first place...
Bad trips are the best trips
Earllll!
I’m eating three grams right now 🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂❤❤❤
I am on it right now, the worst part is behind me, still feverish, but now I can write. I am alone in my flat, have not done mushrooms in 30years, since I wa a teenager, I took way too much, I think 3x more, the trip is awful, could not stay at one place in the begining, drank psylium to clean my digestive tract and after enduring an hour of hell drank Rivotril, that saved me. The stuff is not for me, in large doses, BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL OR DON'T DO IT AT ALL - I know how it sounds, from a man whos having a bad trip... but I have experience, trust me - only weed is ok, we all know already we live in a dream, a simulation, YOU DON'T NEED THIS - OR MAYBE YOU DO?
I’m tripping fucking balls and I think it’s challenging i can’t walk
Thankz.. bruh. Your face be melting.. but thanks
no
I freaked myself out I dude like 5 micro doses for the first time
❤❤❤
