A good article describing how someone who has never had their own psychedelic trip will not be able to guide someone through a trip as intricately as someone who is more experienced.

Even someone who has had a few of their own experiences is limited in their ability to do this.

As a result, the person undergoing treatment with psychedelics is largely left to navigate the unfamiliar landscape by themselves.

This, however, does have some similarities to the shamanic experience.

What do you think?
