A trip sitter holds space while someone journeys. Done well, it's the difference between a transformative experience and a difficult one. Done poorly, it adds risk.
The Trip Sitter Protocol is a 30+ page guide for anyone preparing to sit for a friend, partner, or loved one through a psychedelic experience. It covers the practical caretaker role (managing the physical space, food, hydration, temperature, comfort) and the emotional anchor role (reassurance scripts, what to say, what not to say, how to handle difficult moments without escalating them).
Includes setup checklists, response scripts for common scenarios (anxiety, crying, paranoia), and a guide for the integration conversation afterward. Evidence-based, non-prescriptive, written for the home setting.
A standalone resource that pairs with the full Pada system below.
Trip Sitter Protocol is great on its own. It works better as part of the full system — preparation flows into session support, which flows into integration.
"Everything about this system feels intentional. The layout is clean and easy to follow. The integration tools at the end were exactly what I needed to actually make sense of my experience instead of just forgetting about it one week later."— Gabbie J.
"If I'm feeling pre-trip anxiety, having all these things already together feels more accessible than trying to piece it together myself."— Community member
"I'd definitely be stoked to get this as a gift. The integration piece is what most people miss completely."— Community member
"I built this because the information exists in clinical research — it just wasn't organized into something you could use at home. These guides are that bridge."Cole · Founder · Public health & harm reduction background
