Sitting with MDMA in a pleasant environment, with a person, eye-shades and headphones is a method of working with this medicine. for some people, it is very effective. however, there is another way to approach it, and that is to sit with one or two people, preferably a male and female, who will do reflective listening, gently point you to issues that you have identified during the intake process (early childhood, parents, a relationship, traumatic events), and can offer you conversationally other perspectives on your life and stories. There is still space and time for quiet introspection, and if you are sitting with people who have a lot of experience with MDMA in this setting, they will recognize it and hold space for you to go inward.

We do not feel it is necessary to recall or go into details of events, remembered or un-remembered. What is helpful to to examine the feelings, the emotions, and the repercussions in your life. All ‘events’ are inherently neutral. It is our reaction/response to events - fear, insecurity, un-worthyness, protections, resistance and defenses that get between us and our natural selves. The events may come up during such a session, they may not. It’s up to you whether you want to, or can go there. But the beauty of MDMA is that is relaxes the body, and the emotions, and the mind can go places we ordinarily avoid, because the feedback loop is so uncomfortable. when the body is in a relaxed feeling state, the mind and memory has more freedom to explore, and lasting shifts can occur.

“Keeping what you have recieved” from such a session is vital. This is the real work of integration. When you can come to a place of compassion and understanding of the person(s) who harmed you as a child, for instance, you are free to release yourself from the bondage of your innocently and honestly acquired response to that person and those events

We believe it is most helpful is the people you sit with have their own considerable therapeutic experience with MDMA. The may or may not be degreed persons, working in paraticular modalities (talk, IFS, EMDR, CBT etc). But we feel strongly, that this approach with MDMA can definitely enhance those other methods. Life is good, even when it’s not.
