The First Step Toward Becoming an Ethical, Trusted Sitter

You know firsthand the healing, insight, and transformation that psychedelic medicine can bring. And now, you feel the call to be of service. But you may be asking yourself:

Where do I start?
What if something goes wrong?
Am I ready for this responsibility?

Supporting someone in altered states is not to be taken lightly. These experiences can be unpredictable in nature, and maximizing your efforts in preparation is the only ethical way to approach this work.

This course was created for those who feel a deep calling to serve and who understand the importance of approaching this work with reverence and integrity.

Deanne Adamson, Psychedelic Sitters Training

Deanne Adamson
FOUNDER & CEO

The instructors of Being True To You’s Psychedelic Sitter Training bring together over a decade of direct, hands-on experience in the psychedelic, transformational, and recovery fields. Collectively, our team has supported hundreds of individuals through psychedelic and transformational journeys, drawing on deep expertise with medicines such as ayahuasca, iboga and ibogaine, psilocybin, ketamine, MDMA, LSD, and emerging transformational experiences.

For 15 years, Being True To You has pioneered

preparation, integration, and transformational recovery support, and our instructors have each spent years immersed in this work—sitting with clients in ceremony and retreat settings; guiding individuals through crises such as addiction, trauma, and suicidality; and supporting others in peak performance, purpose-driven leadership, and spiritual growth. We’ve trained and mentored coaches, therapists, nurses, and wellness professionals worldwide, equipping them with the skills to hold space with compassion, neutrality, and professionalism.

INSTRUCTOR

What sets our instructors apart is that we have not only studied the protocols of psychedelic sitting in depth—we have lived them.

Through real-world trial and error, we’ve navigated complex legal, ethical, and moral decisions, learned to operate as a team, and refined best practices to protect autonomy, safety, and well-being. This lived experience, combined with our comprehensive training frameworks, ensures that those who train with us gain not only knowledge, but the confidence and competence to sit safely, ethically, and skillfully with others.

Each instructor brings years of direct experience, with hundreds of psychedelic sits across diverse contexts and medicines.

Our instructors embody neutrality, professionalism, and genuine care, creating a supportive and inclusive training environment.
