In this episode we talk with Veronika Gold, a psychotherapist and psychedelic researcher who is participating in MAPS sponsored clinical trials using MDMA to treat PTSD. So far these treatments have had an astounding 76% success rate!  The potential of this substance for healing the world is vast when we consider that, as Veronika shares, some estimate that as much as 50% of the world population may be suffering PTSD. In the show we talk about: - how plant medicine ceremonies informed the researchers' approach to MDMA therapy - the role of our inner healing wisdom - what an MDMA therapy session entails - how MAPS works with both shamans and therapists together And more. Near the end Veronika touches upon her work using ketamine assisted therapy where she is based in San Francisco Bay Area, and how that differs from MDMA. Her website is PolarisInsight.com and her contact is Veronika@PolarisInsight.com.
