I highly doubt there's much any skilled therapist can do to people who are completely hallucinating and on a bad trip.



I don't. Trips can move gradually, and a therapist with the patient can move them in a positive direction. The remarkably positive results of these controlled tests indicate that yes, you can keep a person from having a bad trip if you have a trained guide with them.

Thorazine.


This can be dangerous, Xanax or klonopin are preferred by modern psychedelic therapists.


From personal experience: xanax works very well.
