To thrive as a Trip Sitter, you need a solid understanding of harm reduction, acute emotional support, and safety procedures, typically gained through relevant training or experience in supportive care environments. Professional trip sitters may use intake assessment forms, basic first-aid certification, and communication tools to screen and monitor clients effectively.

Experience with psychedelics and a responsible attitude are important for ensuring safety and comfort for those they assist.

What is a trip sitter?

A Trip Sitter is a sober, responsible individual who provides support and ensures safety for someone experiencing a psychedelic journey. Their role is to create a calm and non-judgmental environment, assisting the individual through any challenging moments. They do not guide or interfere but remain present to offer reassurance. Trip Sitters may work in personal, therapeutic, or retreat settings. Their primary focus is on harm reduction and emotional support rather than offering medical or psychological treatment.

What are some typical challenges faced by trip sitters during a session?

A primary challenge for Trip Sitters is adapting to unpredictable client behaviors or emotional responses, which can vary widely depending on each individual's experience. You may need to calmly handle moments of anxiety, confusion, or intense emotion while maintaining a non-intrusive and supportive presence. Trip Sitters often work irregular hours, including evenings or weekends, depending on client needs. Success in this role requires vigilance, strong boundaries, and the ability to communicate clearly with both clients and, when needed, their support networks.

Job description

About the job Ketamine Infusion Sitter

  • Hold space for patient / client during ketamine infusions
  • Unlike trained therapists, sitters do not guide the trip in any direction. Their role is strictly a non-directive and supportive one. In doing so, sitters will help keep the trippers safe emotionally and physically by engaging minimally.
  • Discuss and identify expectations, boundaries, and intentions with the client. This is often a general conversation entailing a loosely set-out plan to help avoid any surprises.
  • An ideal sitter is a listener rather than a talker. They are understanding, kind, and attentive through verbal and body language.
  • Assist in changing music, increase or decrease the volume depending on the needs of the client.
  • Assess the clients reaction to their environment and make changes to best suit their needs i.e. offer comfort by providing tissues, blankets, and cushions when and if needed.
  • Reassure the client about any fears or worries that have occurred during the session.
  • In the highly unlikely event of a medical emergency, the sitter will contact the nurse or physician who is immediately available in the other room.
  • Document significant client interactions
  • Contribute to the development and growth of our Sitter program
  • Be in touch with all ancillary treaters in coordination with other members of our treatment team
  • Since we work as a team, must be willing to help with any other aspect of clinic operations, including administrative tasks, errands, office maintenance, etc.
Sound Like You?
  • You have a track record of sitting with others during psychologically challenging times, with or without psychedelics involved.
  • Ideally completed a program/training/certificate in a relevant field
  • Thoughtful, compassionate, present and personable
  • Capable of holding space for complex, challenging, and novel experiences with an open, unbiased and warm presence
  • Mission-Obsessed: You have a deep personal connection to mental health
  • Practice Intellectual Honesty / Integrity: You seek and speak the truth directly and possess high courage and low ego
  • Cultivates Wholeness: You bring your authentic self to work and promote the wellbeing of team and peers
  • Focus: You practice deep work
