"This is where traumas are processed."
Tripping on truffles to cope with depression. In Zutphen’ s dead-end Leesten neighborhood, Bart-Willem (45) organizes truffle ceremonies. It has been storming since January.
Psychiatrist and researcher Metten Sommer is critical because the studies have not yet shown that truffles work against depression. More on this later in this article.
Journeying within yourself may sound floaty but Bart-Willem is just a down-to-earth guy.
In addition to people participating in truffle ceremonies for personal growth, many participants struggle with mental problems such as depression or trauma.
Crying is part of these ceremonies; it is a process of processing.
Tripping on truffles: what you need to know about magic mushrooms and truffles
Truffles and magic mushrooms are both types of psychoactive fungi often associated with spiritual experiences and mental adventures. While magic mushrooms are the fruiting bodies of the fungus, truffles are the underground part. Both contain the substance psilocybin, which is responsible for the hallucinogenic effects.
Truffles are also called “sclerotia” and contain a high concentration of psilocybin. Both forms are often used for their psychedelic effects, but truffles are often less well known than magic mushrooms.
Most people use truffles and magic mushrooms for a “trip,” which refers to the hallucinations, intense thoughts and changes in perception that occur after ingestion.
These experiences can be both positive and negative, depending on various factors such as the amount you use, your state of mind and the environment in which you experience the trip.
During the trip
During the trip, the effects of truffles and magic mushrooms can vary widely. For many, the experiences are intense and can include feelings of euphoria, connection with nature, deep insights and visual hallucinations. These experiences can be spiritually enlightening, leading some users to look back on their trip as a life-changing event.
Risks of truffles and magic mushrooms
Although truffles and magic mushrooms are generally considered safe, there are certainly risks associated with their use. One of the biggest risks is the possibility of a bad trip. A bad trip is a negative experience in which the user may experience feelings of fear, despair or confusion.
In addition, it is important to note that truffles and magic mushrooms are not suitable for everyone. People with a history of mental illness, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, should avoid using magic mushrooms and truffles because the risk of developing psychotic symptoms may increase.
When not to do it?
Using truffles or magic mushrooms is strongly discouraged for people who are not in a safe and comfortable environment, or for those who are not well prepared for the effects. It is important to always be around someone you trust and who remains sober during the experience to minimize any risks.
Using truffles and magic mushrooms may also be illegal in some countries, so it is important to know your country’s laws before using these substances.
While using magic mushrooms and truffles is an interesting and sometimes spiritual experience for many people, it is important to always be aware of the risks. Make sure you are well informed, in a safe environment and using the right dose. If in doubt or if you have mental health problems, it is better to advise against the use of truffles and magic mushrooms.
