A NEW PATH · INDIVIDUAL PROGRAMS
Privacy, boundaries and personal support
Thoughtful support starts with clear information: who is involved, what each person does and what you can expect before deciding.
Privacy in an individual format
An individual arrangement means you do not join a group of other participants or need to share your story with strangers. Privacy is also a practical question. Before booking, ask who else may be at the venue, which spaces are shared and who will be present during your experience.
Clear professional roles
A licensed psychologist at A New Path supports the work around preparation and integration. A local partner is involved with the venue and accommodation in the Netherlands. Psychological support does not in itself mean that medical staff are present. Clarify responsibility for the experience, medical questions and practical arrangements before booking.
Consent and personal boundaries
Preparation includes space to discuss how you want to be supported and what feels uncomfortable. Expectations about touch, personal space and communication should be explicit. Ask how you can express a concern, withdraw consent to a particular form of support or raise a complaint. Your questions and boundaries deserve a clear response.
Confidentiality and personal information
Conversations with the psychologist are handled under professional confidentiality and the rules applicable to the service. Before sharing sensitive information, ask how it is collected, stored and shared, including with any local partner. Please avoid sending sensitive health details in an initial email; we can explain an appropriate way to provide them.
Support and its limits
Preparation and a supportive setting cannot remove all risk. Psilocybin may cause intense fear, confusion or other adverse effects. Before committing, clarify the support available during and after the experience, how unexpected difficulties are handled and how medical help would be accessed if needed. Follow-up should be discussed in advance, not left to assumption.
