just tell em to stare at walls, they'll find it fascinating anyway 😆

For real, never undermine their feelings. It just ain't helpful. And learn to listen. Sometimes they might just need to talk out what they're seeing or feeling. Be that non-judgmental ear, sometimes a simple 'I hear ya' is all they need.

Drawing and Play-Doh, genius! Last time I sat for a friend we ended up creating a Play-Doh universe on the living room floor, full of weird creatures and landscapes. It was a trip in itself, watching it all come alive 😂 Gotta be ready to join their world sometimes

Good tips! I'd also recommend keeping some benzodiazepines on hand just in case things go south real fast. Not a doctor, but it can help take the edge off if the trip is too intense.

This is poetry. The trip sitter is a psychic navigator, a whisperer of consciousness. It's almost a sacred duty. 'You are the guardian of their cosmos' - absolutely beautiful. It's about being there, present, and kind. We are all just travelers in space and time, after all.

Excellent starting points. Let me add: pay attention to the music, it can really shape a trip. Keep a few playlists handy, from chill lo-fi to natural ambience, so you can shift the mood if needed. And burn some incense or use an essential oil diffuser - scent can ground them or even enhance their visuals. Plus if things get really intense, remember the grounding techniques, like reminding them to feel the couch or carpet, 'feel the earth', helps a lot.

woah thanks for this! i'm gonna be sitting for my buddy this weekend and tbh i'm kinda nervous. i don't wanna screw it up you know?

Really solid advice. Been in the game for a while and too many times I've seen trip sitters who think it's funny to mess with the tripper. Real talk, you gotta respect the substance and the person's journey. Gettin' someone through a rough patch while peaking can be heroic, lol. Fruits are the bomb, totally agree - it's like an explosion of taste and natural sugar can help if someone feels a bit low energy. 😉🍉
