When your partner becomes your psychedelic guide and it goes wrong

My husband is my trip sitter for my psilocybin sessions but last time he got triggered by something I said during the experience and now I'm afraid he can't hold space for me without making it about his own stuff. We can't afford a professional sitter but I don't feel safe with him in that role anymore.
