but it's a ladder where the first rung is too high up to reach without the help. you still gotta climb the ladder and do the work, but without the help, you can't even try to climb the ladder in the first place.

You make a good point. Yes, some people can really benefit from a helping hand onto the ladder.

But I'd hate to encourage anyone to climb on, only to see them freeze in fear, and get stuck when the only way is up.

I think there are three things one should always bring to psychedelics or potentially life changing traumatic experiences

  - some experience

  - a question

  - a friend

my opinion is that a qualified trained trip sitter is needed, not just a friend.
