A therapist compares MDMA-assisted therapy to surgery: a skilled guide removes deep trauma the way a surgeon removes cancer. Sessions start with breathwork and body awareness to open what they call the four channels of human data, helping people process emotions trapped by trauma.
Think of a cancer surgeon. They're going in, they're rooting out the cancer, and they're going to clean it out of your psyche. You want to have a great guide that knows what they're doing if you're dealing with real trauma and PTSD and all that. So what happens in my sessions when I'm guiding leaders is I'll literally guide them through, get them connected with their body, do some breathwork, do some meditation, etc. We'll get them grounded, maybe a little bit of somatic experiencing so they're present to their body, because MDMA naturally connects you to your heart and body. So if you think of your human experience and the 4 channels of data that you're receiving, you got heart, body, mind, and spirit. MDMA primarily opens up heart and body, and it's amazing for getting men unstuck too.
