Love the explanation Rachel provides at: 18:15
This is revelatory!
Re-opening the critical period (finite window of time of social learning) so that you can re-evaluate the story you have constructed about yourself/life’s narrative. Fantastic!

I agree, that really got me thinking.

I have never heard of MDMA. I have been to Friends Conference of Religion and Psychology, FCRP, where people talked about sweat lodges and increased awareness under Bill Plotkin, a psychologist who spoke in 2007 (tapes available for that weekend for FCRP) and I have talked to psychiatrists who also talked about sweat lodges and increased awareness from Native American experiences. I am concerned about anything, no matter how beneficial, for recreational use with any woman who is possibly pregnant. Sigh. I am retired chaplain.
I also want this drug to be available to anyone who has been raped, if possible, male, female, or children. It may sound odd, but the grief of abuse, as well as miscarriage, is not addressed in our society. I am not the puritan you might suppose.
