Set and Setting
The term "Set and Setting" was coined by Norman Zinberg and Timothy Leary. Set and Setting describes the cntext for psychoactive and particularly psychedelic drug experiences: one's mindset (shortened to 'set') and the physical and social environment (the 'setting') in which the user has the experience. This is especially relevant for psychedelic experiences in either a therapeutic or recreational context.
"Set" is the mental state a person brings to the experience, like thoughts, mood, and expectations.
"Setting" is the physical and social environment. Social support networks have shown to be particularly important in the outcome of the psychedelic experience. They are able to control or guid the course of the experience, both consciously and subconsciously. Stress, fear, or a disagreeable environment may result in an unpleasant experience (bad trip). Conversely a relaxed, curious person in a warm, comfortable and safe place is more likely to have a pleasant experience.
