Actually, my mother had been doing no so good for 20 years. Years of psychotherapy (and medication) had only helped her minimally with her childhood trauma.
Every now and then things got a little better. Then she was full of energy and ‘cleared up’, but in recent years the periods of low energy, depression and ‘dark periods’ have been coming together more often, more intensely and darker.
In December 2023 she reached a very dark low and decided (partly because of my own experiences with trips) to contact Triptherapie. A friend of mine had already had positive experiences with Marcel as a Tripsitter.
Fortunately, she was quickly able to go for a session in the loft in Schiedam. We had chosen this so that we would still have a lot of time to talk about the insights. That went well. The professional guidance of Janneke in the preliminary stage and Marcel during the trip itself were also very good. The session itself was intense and emotional, as could be expected. That was more than half a year ago now.
My mother now gives her life a ‘big 8’. That’s fantastic. And that after 1 psilocybin session! A complete turnaround.
She also previously suffered from a form of OCD. Everything in her life had a ‘rule-set’: a way in which something had to be done and deviating from that was very difficult for her. That took a lot of mental energy. The session also ensured that ‘it’s not all that important’, which is super nice for her.
Thanks Marcel and Janneke!
