It’s almost impossible to explain. It just works and for the time being that’s what matters. It’s true that the desire for lasting change is necessary or else the effects can be temporary, but something like MDMA taken in an intentional setting doesn’t really leave you with the chance to avoid thinking about what will help you to heal. You either accept it, deal with it and heal, or you spend 5 hours suffering and crying while you fight to think happy thoughts instead. It seems that people are skeptical, which I get, it’s a party drug. But a few parties that I’ve attended had lasting truly wonderfully healing effects due to the MDMA and love that you can feel with a room full of people, all moving to the same rhythm for hours at a time. But it simply works. If I had a loved-one suffering with combat-related ptsd I would recommend this without a second thought. When you have a severe condition rooted in not only what you saw or did, but the inability to admit on a deep level that what you’ve done is wrong, it is hard to accept that you are worthy of forgiveness. Therein lies the magic of MDMA. It allows you to love yourself, and from there healing can occur.
That’s a lot of words, but believe me when I say that this is not some fad treatment. It’s the closest thing to magic that we have for this use-case.
Weird how there is a rising MAGA party in KR and an aligned former pm who attempted a coup. What a weird coincidence.
