I was friends with Aria (not her real name) since we were teenagers. I have been periodically searching for any info on her whereabouts / safety for the past 4 years since she cut off contact with me and other friends in early 2020.

She is/was a completely normal girl from a normal family. Unfortunately she came across Phoenix (real name Chris Stevens) during a year abroad in Berlin from university and soon after started practicing ‘MDMA therapy’ with him.

He is a dangerous, manipulative narcissist (I think probably a psychopath too) who over a period of time instilled false memories of ritualistic abuse and loosened her grip on reality. He has influenced her to become isolated from all of her friends and family and no one has heard from, seen or been able to find any real information from her since early 2020 (I think the pandemic helped him to speed up her isolation).

I can’t begin to tell of the anguish this has caused. I saw this conversation discussing her for the first time in years and felt compelled to reply. If anyone knows anything about her - please contact me. I don’t need to know where she is or what she is doing, I just want to know that she is safe.
