A trip sitter is sometimes called a psychedelic guide or guide, although this term is more often used to describe someone who takes an active role in guiding a drug user's experiences, while a sitter merely stands by to discourage bad trips and handle emergencies but otherwise does not take on an active role. Guides are more common among spiritual users of entheogens.<ref>http://csp.org/nicholas/A59.html</ref><ref>Guiding 101 | Guiding 101</ref>

Some sources recommend a sitter be present when certain ~~drugs~~ are used regardless of the user's experience or comfort with the substance. A sitter may be necessary for users of [[Deliriants|deliriant]] substances or [[Salvia|Salvia divinorum]] for example because these ~~drugs~~ can sometimes cause both disorientation, delirium and a desire to move about.
