Resources for Challenging Experiences in Psychedelic Journeys

Whether you call them challenging experiences, difficult journeys or bad trips, as much as we wish they didn't happen, sometimes they do. They often get a bit overlooked as it's much more fun to talk about healing, ecstasy and universal love than hell realms, existential angst, and heightened anxiety. If you are a person who had a difficult psychedelic journey and are still trying to make sense of it, please know that you are not alone.

Outside of working with an Integration Coach or therapist, here are a few resources to assist in the process of integrating a challenging trip.

The Fireside Project is a Psychedelic Support Line open every day from 11:00 AM - 11:00 PM Call or text 62-FIRESIDE. https://firesideproject.org/

ICEERS offers up to 5 free integration sessions for challenging experiences https://www.iceers.org/support-center-2/

The Challenging Psychedelic Experiences Project is a group conducting studies on challenging experiences and doing some great psycho-education on podcasts and other media. https://challengingpsychedelicexperiences.com/

Again, if you experienced a difficult journey please know you are not alone. Connect with others. Take good care of yourself. You are loved.
