Hi— it sounds like you have good intentions. I wrote a short book (68 pgs) about MAPS and interviewed a participant of the trials. DM me and I’ll email you a free pdf of the book. https://www.amazon.com/Your-Neighbors-Are-Doing-Psychedelics-ebook/dp/B08R8WKHKF
Hi— I write about trends in psychedelics for Forbes, and also wrote a short book this year about MDMA therapies. The key person I interviewed healed himself through this method. His story is incredible. I’ve priced the book at .99 cents to help people. I hope it can help you, too. https://www.amazon.com/Your-Neighbors-Are-Doing-Psychedelics-ebook/dp/B08R8WKHKF
I've found integration is a key piece of the healing experience. I wrote a booklet this year about current MDMA clinical trials (MDMA: From The Club To The Clinic). I talk about integration, and how the person I interviewed, who went through the trials, really benefitted from examining his time on MDMA. You can find the booklet here. I priced it .99 cents for everyone in this group to benefit at an affordable price. I hope you find healing.
No therapist as it's not legal in my country, and I probably couldn't afford underground prices, even if I could find one.
After the first session I had the most wonderful afterglow for about 3 weeks, it so wonderful to have total relief from the daily struggle. It wears off though and I dipped in and out on a daily basis between feeling great to no improvements, but usually it was much better, and for the first 3 sessions you can do them quite close together (4-6 weeks). I'd recommend waiting 3 months after the first 3 doses though, as I did the 4th one another 6 weeks later and that following week was really rough, I was worse than before for the following week and there was no afterglow at all. Between 4 and 5 I waited 3 months and it was all wonderful again.
Have you read Trust Surrender Receive? During the session you just let go of all intentions and expectations and the medicine will naturally work through you to find what needs to be worked on and released. It's really incredible. For integration I have a daily meditation practice, do a bit of yoga and enjoy solitary time in wild natural places. It's good to have a friend to talk with about everything too. I had a trusted friend I could call if needed during my sessions and to chat to afterwards to "land".
Happy to answer any further questions you have! I'm also writing up a more detailed report of my 5 sessions so far, I'll send you the link when I post it! :)
🙏❤️
Work towards getting to know and understand the resistance, with love. IFS is great for that purpose. This book has been very helpful for me: https://www.amazon.com/Self-Therapy-Step-Step-Cutting-Edge-Psychotherapy-ebook/dp/B00452V8EG
Oh, a Dose of Hope REALLY goes into that. It's literally a parable where you see the conversations the protagonist has with his guides, therapists and grandparents about the whole thing through the whole process.
Is there a therapist involved in the MDMA therapy, even if the session itself is solo? If I could give myself advise before starting my healing journey with MDMA, I would have stressed the importance of having a trusting relationship with an integration therapist. My significant other has too many other roles, she can't be my therapist as well, regardless of how much love there is between us. When repressed trauma has been released, my therapist have been able to guide me through it during the weeks and months after the session. Working with IFS has been extremely helpful, if you have not looked it up yet I can warmly recommend this book: https://www.amazon.com/Self-Therapy-Step-Step-Cutting-Edge-Psychotherapy-ebook/dp/B00452V8EG
The book Trust, Surrender, Receive is full of similar stories. I recommend it.
If your friend is willing to put in a bit of preparation work it could be nice for them to read at least some of Trust, Surrender, Receive so that they can really appreciate that their role is to shut up, offer physical support, and dictate for you rather than act as a therapist.
Since some of the case studies might be triggering you may not wish to read it yet.

Not sure I am allowed to post this. I just self-published my memoir about healing my PTSD via MDMA and psychotherapy. I have transcripts from the third medicinal journey in there.

Dr. Julie Holland in her book “good chemistry” recounts the story of a patient who micro doses MDMA with lots of effectiveness/success. I’ve been curious about it ever since She’s been a leading psychedelic researcher and is the medical advisor to MAPS. Here’s the link to the book: Good Chemistry: The Science of Connection, from Soul to Psychedelics https://www.amazon.com/dp/006286288X/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_99ZY3H8G9K2PMZ18SVTB
Your scale weighs points? Is it an electronic game from the 90’s? What does that even mean?
Buy this scale for 50 cents and it has 3 decimal places after the gram. More than precise enough.

You could very practically weigh out 50 mg doses or .05 mgs. Of which apparently you have 70 equivalent 50 mg doses. Or 35 100 mg doses.
This is fantastic to read.
I would suggest though, that after a first experience, the effects are so profound, they out weigh the effect of serotonin depletion.
If you venture into other experiences, I believe it worth mitigation against adverse impacts.
I can only state from my own experiences, once I determined dose level and I was out of the initial stages of new experiences, I found clear effect of serotonin depletion in the following days.
I pulled together a rough guide for myself and a friend. It's from a range of sources with a little of my own input.
It maybe helpful, if not, hopefully others may find value.
check out this book : https://www.amazon.de/Trust-Surrender-Receive-Release-Trauma/dp/1619617382 it tells the stories of many just like you.
This book you recommended, Trust Surrender Receive, is currently on Amazon's Kindle Unlimited 30-day free trial... so I just got it and I'm starting to read it for free :)
I'll look into the other two sources you recommended also. thx a billion!
I read in Trust, Surrender, Receive of people falling asleep during their MDMA experience, it also happens in some Ayahuasca ceremonies. Sometimes it can be dissociation, sometimes it is delta waves in the brain (which sometimes push us into sleep) that represent our youthful, hurtful parts that are encoded in these very slow frequencies (according the Sebern Fisher).
It might also be a "completion", you might needed to so to sleep and feel protected, for the young boy to be able to rest and release worrying that is making him restless. So this is also an option.
It sounds to me that you were very diligent when you started your experience, to me, a bit protective and in control (with a lot of awareness and leading emotions "out"), I like to try and loose control and let whatever come, be.

>any time I show her (MDMA) a wound, she heals it.
I wonder if wounds, actually heal by only feeling them (and not allowing the body to complete the energetic cycle), and what makes a wound process, out of primary conciseness and out of our mind.
I believe, that touching and reaching out to our internal children, and parenting them, is the way to go. Way to go!
You might benefit from art work with music, right after you wake up, to allow natural expressions to occur.
The crystals are quite close to white in colour, but I swallowed the product in a gelatin capsule so I didn't actually taste it. Specifically, one of these capsules: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Your-Supplements-Empty-Gelatin-Capsules/dp/B01GRUWC20
I'm mainly thinking of trying 160mg next time because, if it does turn out to be as simple as needing a bit of a higher dose, I would prefer to find out on my second attempt rather than get another disappointing outcome and have to wait even longer for a third attempt down the line. I'm currently thinking that if I wait three months before the second session and raise the dose to 160mg, this would give me the best chance of a successful second session and be a long enough gap to minimise risks? And I would repeat the anti-oxidant regimen of ALA, ALCAR and Vitamin C as per schedules on the rollsafe website.
I wrote a book on MDMA this year. I can send you a free digital copy. Just DM me your email. I think it could help you. https://www.amazon.com/Your-Neighbors-Are-Doing-Psychedelics-ebook/dp/B08R8WKHKF
Hello:
I wrote a booklet (68 pgs) all about MAPS's clinical trials with MDMA. It gives a pretty well-rounded look at the experience from the perspective of a person who went through the trials. You can find it here. I hope it helps you.

I write about psychoactive drugs related to healing mental trauma. I've interviewed a lot of people on the topic of abuse and neglect, who've found healing through MDMA and other substances. I published a booklet this year that is all about MAPS's clinical trials with MDMA. In the booklet (68 pgs) I interview a guy named Nick who was a policeman who survived a mass shooting. As he goes through his 3 trials using MDMA, he actually first uncovers childhood neglect that he experienced beginning at age 7. It turns out to be as important as the thing that brought him to MDMA, which was PTSD from the horrible experience of a mass killing. But most of his experience is about unraveling feelings as a kid. His journey is a real rollercoaster, but eventually he finds peace and forgiveness. You can find the booklet here (just .99 cents). I hope it helps you. -Dave
Hi, I wrote a booklet this year about MDMA clinical trials (MDMA: From The Club To The Clinic). It's a quick read at 68 pages. I priced it cheap, .99 cents, for people in this group. You can find it here. I wish you luck.
Hi, I published a book this year about a man who went through MAPS's MDMA trials. He had severe PTSD for 22 years and was suicidal. He also had zero experience with psychedelics before his trials. The book is a quick read at 68 pages. It might help you understand the MDMA landscape. I wrote the book with the express purpose of helping people like you learn about the potential of MDMA to treat PTSD. You can find it here. I wish you the best.
Well you have just stumbled into a whole new world then :)
I bought my set up from this company https://brain-trainer.com/ There are quite a few companies catering for the home user, but brain-trainer seems to crop up in most people's suggestions. I'd be happy to try and answer any questions that you have. r/neurofeedback is a good place to check out.
This book is also highly recommended if you want to delve a little deeper: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Neurofeedback-Treatment-Developmental-Trauma-Fear-Driven/dp/0393707865/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=sebern+fisher&qid=1614088753&sr=8-1
I did some research... And one of them share the enzyme CYP2D6 with MDMA in the metabolism process. The other one does not share any..
I found this chart handy: http://moleculartestinglabs.com/wp-content/uploads/Drug-list-version-5.pdf
Edit: I see that this thread became archived while I wrote the reply to your other post (what are the odds??), so here it goes:
It's great to hear that you have made such changes! It gives me hope that it is possible to escape that damn self-consciousness. Was it more than MDMA therapy that did it? I'd also note that you strike me as an incredibly empathic person :)
The meditation was basically about becoming aware of your inner thoughts and feelings, without letting your attention getting sucked into them like we normally do. This will kinda let you see things how they really are, without those events having been affected by your ego. It learns you to recognize the heavy conscious thoughts and feelings and just accept them. Accept where they are coming from and that they are there, and let them go. Anger, anxiety, self-criticism, greed, fear... Awareness of them will feel "light", whereas experiencing them which will feel "heavy". And then you start bypassing your mind directly to the subconsciousness so that you let that do the talking and thinking instead of your conscious self... That's the theory at least.
This form of meditation they call mindfulness, and it has been scientifically proven to be just as effective as cognitive therapy at treating anxiety, besides sounding far more interesting, so that's why I tried it out. I recommend reading the book "Mindfulness in Plain English", which was a comfortable down to earth approach to it all.
It took quite a bit of concentration, though, so you need proper sleep in order to practice it. I actually feel rested enough to give it another go!
This is a really good comment and I like the way you describe it. Have you come across Waking the Tiger by Peter Levine? Might be of interest to you, although not from a neurological perspective.
There's a great book on the subject, 'it was't your fault - Beverly Engel' that you might find interesting.
