Summary

Download Kyle and Joe recently chatted with a second therapist who works underground. Trained as a traditional therapist, this therapist integrates MDMA work into her practice with selective clients. She has been mentored by a teacher who has done this work for a very long period of time. She has a community of therapists around her providing support. MDMA is not a typical psychedelic drug but it is the focus of most of MAPS's efforts in the Psychedelic Psychotherapy world. Psychedelic therapy is THE frontier of psychology. Therapists like Selina are on the vanguard of these therapies. By working underground they have great risks (legal) and advantages (huge amounts of healing for their patients). Why are we waiting? We are in a mental health crisis, far too many people are suffering and committing suicide. If one compares this to any recent "outbreak" the numbers certainly make sense to fast track MDMA as a viable therapy for PTSD and other disorders. We want to keep interviewing people doing underground work, so please send them our way for interviews. We are going to be able to provide anonymity for those that want it, so feel free to ask about this if you want it. Enjoy!!

0:00.0	Hey everybody, Joe here, psychedelics today. Welcome back. Thanks again for tuning in. Today on the show, we have
0:14.7	another underground MDMA therapist going by the name is Selena. And we recorded this one on the 5th of April.
0:24.0	And it was great.
0:25.3	We had the ability to bring up some really interesting stuff from the older gentleman's interview,
0:32.4	the first MDMA, I call it Confessions.
0:35.2	So that was cool.
0:35.9	But yeah, this person has been doing the work for about a year
0:39.0	and has seen incredible results that we get into in the show.
0:43.4	And it's really promising.
0:44.6	With a couple anecdotes, you can see just how substantial
0:48.5	the changes in this therapy modality can be.
0:52.5	And talk therapy alone really just pales in comparison.
0:56.7	She does somatic work, kind of like what Kyle is going to school for and somatic therapy.
1:04.0	So using body stuff, voice, massage, movement, stuff like that. There's probably a lot more that I
1:10.7	don't even know about.
1:11.6	I'm not the one going to grad school for that. But, you know, really interesting therapy modalities
1:15.3	and they seem very relevant to us because our breathwork techniques really seem to fit into
1:21.3	that mold quite well. So I hope you enjoy this one. Let us know what you think. Reach out.
1:26.5	You have any questions? Maybe we can facilitate asking about that. There's been a lot of questions coming in about how do I find a therapist that's willing to work with me? I don't have a good answer. You know, there's if you go international, you can find stuff legally. Um, but it's, you know, not MDMA, obviously, uh, and unfortunately, perhaps a place where this stuff is decriminalized like Portugal might be a solution. So, you know, perhaps check that out. But this is something that, uh, we're going to keep developing and trying to figure out because I know there's a lot of people out there that need this urgently, you know, they're on the brink of suicide or, you know, a divorce or losing
2:02.5	their job and their whole life falling apart. And, uh, this therapy is maybe one of the few things
2:07.7	that could really help them out. That's it for the intro, a couple announcements. We are still
2:13.2	making available our psychedelic self-care and integration class. You can find it at psychedelics today.
