Trip Sitting: A Practical Guide to Ethics, Preparation, Support, and Integration for Psychedelic Journeys

Trip Sitting by Julian Vayne is a practical guide to supporting safe and meaningful psychedelic journeys. It covers preparing the physical and social setting, establishing an appropriate tone, navigating the experience, and supporting post-journey integration. The book emphasizes the skills, techniques, mindset, ethics, and practical judgment required to hold space with clarity, confidence, and compassion while reducing risks and supporting potential benefits. Its primary focus is one-to-one sessions, but the principles can also be adapted to small groups and personal journeys. The guide is intended both for people who already work with psychedelics and for those preparing to support themselves or others, including readers seeking guidance on recognizing trustworthy settings and good practice. Its approach combines current science with Julian Vayne's extensive experience as a facilitator, advisor in licensed medical trials, researcher, and psychedelic conference organizer.
