Most definitely. I'm going through some of this with therapeutic MDMA use for my PTSD. It's definitely been a journey, and not always a pleasant one, but, I believe I'm better off now after a few sessions than when I started.

Do you mean you've been approved/are able to get clinically administered MDMA taken with a therapist -- or is this self-administered?

I had similar very positive + life-changing experiences from taking MDMA but it wasn't clinical.

Self administered, unfortunately. I do have a therapist with whom I discuss things related to the sessions, but he's not directly involved.

Also unfortunately, I'm about out of the drug, and will soon need to either try and find a reliable source, or call it quits on this particular treatment avenue.

Why unfortunately? You are on a journey to heal, don't shame yourself!
"Unfortunately" because I suspect my supply of the drug will run out before I'd like it to. I don't care about the high, just the therapeutic effects.

Edit: Also, unfortunately, the site has just dictated that I've used up all my comments for a while and need a timeout. Had I been warned that this would happen in advance, I'd have done something to prevent it. Unfortunately, they just stick me with this uninformative error message saying I'm "posting too fast," and disallow me from posting anymore for some period of time I'm also not privy to.

I was trying to find a legal MDMA assisted therapy recently but apparently it’s still illegal outside of clinical trials.
