My guest today is Jill Sitnick, author of Rescuing Jill: How MDMA, with a Dash of Mushrooms, Healed My Childhood Trauma-Induced PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). In her book, Jill describes how MDMA let her view her father’s beatings and her mother’s suicide attempts during medically supervised sessions, and how through what is called psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, these treatments healed her trauma and transformed her life. She explains how this therapy works and dispels mythical stigmas associated with using psychedelics in the care of a professional for therapy.
She has a Bachelor of Science in Education and a Master of Science in Instructional Technology. She wrote a workbook to accompany her memoir which includes instructions on how to create and use personal intentions during a treatment session. She also has YouTube channel that explains what psychedelic-assisted therapy is and how it can help those suffering with PTSD .
