Therapeutic Sitting Service

Therapeutic Sitting Service describes itself as a therapy practice run by a therapist couple, offering integrative psychotherapy and, optionally, support for clients choosing to use legal psilocybin truffles in the Netherlands. Their therapeutic orientation draws particularly on Internal Family Systems (IFS) and on somatic-mindfulness psychotherapy (influenced by Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy). The aim is to help clients access subconscious issues, release internal burdens and reshape ingrained internal patterns rather than simply manage symptoms.

Service

Therapeutic Sitting Service provides:

• Online IFS-based psychotherapy sessions, targeting subconscious organization, emotional patterns and underlying inner conflicts.
• A structured therapeutic program for those who wish to work with psilocybin truffles: this includes preparation sessions (breathwork, psychological exploration), guided truffle sessions in a private setting, and integration sessions to help process and integrate experiences.
• Flexible support: clients may choose standard therapy without any psychedelic component, or engage in the full truffle-supported program.

Safety

Therapeutic Sitting Service emphasises establishing a safe therapeutic container. The therapists are trained practitioners: one partner holds a master’s in psychology and has experience working with complex needs (trauma, addiction, neurological conditions), and both are (or are training to become) mindfulness/somatic psychotherapists. They adopt evidence-based psychotherapy modalities (IFS, somatic therapy, mindfulness, trauma-informed care) and personalise pace and intensity to the client’s comfort. For sessions involving psychedelic-assisted work, they prepare carefully (intention-setting, preparation, suitable setting, professional support), limit doses, and provide integration and follow-up.

Care pathway

1. Prospective clients begin with a free online video call to discuss their intentions, history and what they hope to work on.
2. If therapy proceeds, clients may engage in online IFS-based sessions (flexible duration, adapted to need).
3. Clients opting for psychedelic-assisted work enter a structured program: first a preparation session (including breathwork and psychological grounding), followed by one or more guided psilocybin-truffle sessions in a private setting, with therapists present.
4. In the following days there are therapeutic sessions to help process and integrate the experience. Additional follow-up or ongoing therapy may be booked depending on needs, either with or without further psychedelic work.
