Fascinating, thank you for sharing. I can relate.

Interestingly, that's the way many people have reported having their lives changed by it. And that's roughly how it's being used in the latest breakthrough clinical trials (for MDMA and psilocybin). There is a therapy component, but it seems to be play a relatively minor role. https://maps.org/news/multimedia-library/2379-can-a-single-p...

That's really interesting if it helps people on its own. I really thought it was only by actually bonding with other people during my experiences that I was healed. One of the things I did was tell someone about some of insecurities. Not because I was trying to heal myself, though. I had never even heard of MDMA being used for therapy. It just felt like the right thing to do at the time. After that moment I just realised that these silly things really don't matter. I was able to let them go, so to speak. Maybe I would have been able to let go on my own? But it's hard to imagine spilling those once shameful secrets to someone without help of the drug.
