Listen Later

Summary

Our guest is Jill Sitnick. She is the author of “Rescuing Jill, How MDMA, with a Dash of Magic Mushrooms, Healed my Childhood Trauma-Induced PTSD.”

About The Episode

In recent years there's been a lot of research looking at MDMA to treat post-traumatic stress disorder. There are also a number of clinical trials looking at psilocybin (magic mushrooms) to treat depression. And both of those are probably very close to getting approved in the next couple of years.

In this episode, you’ll hear from Jill Sitnick. She is the author of “Rescuing Jill, How MDMA, with a Dash of Magic Mushrooms, Healed my Childhood Trauma-Induced PTSD.” Jill shares her experience with PTSD to explain her healing with psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. She is a strong advocate for more research into psychedelics for mental health issues in the hopes of giving more people the opportunity to heal.

What We Discuss With Jill:
  • What is MDMA
  • How can psychedelics help you heal from trauma
  • Psychedelic-assisted therapy and recreational tripping are very different experiences
  • Who should NOT use psychedelic therapy
  • Why is "set and setting" so important for this therapy
  • Why do people say this therapy is 10 years of therapy in 8 hours
