> Dosing myself in a therapist's office sounds terrifying. The best experience I've ever had was taking a hit of LSD in my living room and spending the day with a pen and paper, writing down thoughts as they came to me.
And I personally know people for whom the exact opposite is the case. I'm very much looking forward to the rise of psychedelic therapy.
And that's a good thing! I am in NO way advocating for a one-size-fits-all approach. There should be many different avenues available for those who wish for different experiences. For people who aren't experienced with psychedelics, doing it in a place they are comfortable in is of utmost importance. The same logic applies to those who are experienced with the substances.
If you want to trip in nature, or on your couch, or in your therapist's office, or wherever else you might find to be the optimal set/setting for your experience, you should be able to do so.
That said, I'm all for taking whatever works in a setting that works for the user.
You mean the isolated subparts right, not actually doing LSD-style drugs in a clinical setting?
Every person I know who had a 'bad trip' did so at a concert or some place they weren't alone or in a quiet area outdoors with close friends (not that there aren't rare exceptions to this rule).
And I personally know people for whom the exact opposite is the case. I'm very much looking forward to the rise of psychedelic therapy.
