Guided Session
ClinicalA psychedelic session conducted with a trained facilitator present throughout, as distinct from using a substance alone or informally with friends.
Example: The protocol used in Johns Hopkins psilocybin studies is a specific, replicated template: two trained monitors present throughout, eyeshades and headphones with a curated music playlist, and a non-directive "trust, let go, be open" stance rather than active steering of the experience.
