MDMA - Assisted Therapy

What is it?

MDMA-assisted therapy is different from a traditional pharmacological approach, which emphasizes symptom reduction and may or may not help to blunt the signals of distress but does nothing to address root causes.

How it can help?

MDMA-assisted therapy is a treatment of “meaning,” designed to help the participant take a deep dive into their histories, their experiences, and their feelings in order to uncover and work through traumatic events, helping them come to terms with what happened to them and find new ways to live their lives going forward.

Assisted by the fear-quieting qualities of MDMA, participants are able to experience and express shame, fear, anger, and grief with less likelihood of feeling overwhelmed by these emotions, allowing for a window of time in which harsh condemnations fall away and traumatic events can be sorted through, reorganized, and reprocessed

MDMA promotes an internal awareness that even painful feelings that arise are an important part of the therapeutic process, and feelings of empathy, love, and deep appreciation often emerge, along with a clearer perspective of present difficulties and the need to treat oneself and others with compassion.


This drug-assisted therapy is proving to be the most efficacious and rapidly-acting intervention for the treatment of PTSD known to modern science
