Polyvagal Theory, which according to Dr. Porges is not a theory but a description of the nervous system, has revolutionized our view of how humans work, relate, heal, and grow. This theory has radically changed how many therapists conduct psychotherapy today. It has also changed the way many people think about who we are and how we work, providing a conceptual framework that can greatly accelerate one’s personal journey towards full self-acceptance. This podcast covers many of Dr. Porges central concepts. We also briefly talk about the relationship between Polyvagal Theory and MDMA-Assisted Therapy.

Rick Doblin, legendary founder of MAPS, discusses his views on the recent unexpected decision by the FDA to delay the approval of MDMA-Assisted Therapy for broad clinical use. In this interview, Rick clarifies each point raised against MDMA therapy in the recent controversy, then counters and dispels most of the criticism that was raised against the studies. We also explore the strange turns in recent history, starting with the unfortunate Power Trip Podcast, which itself turned out to be a power trip. Rick also talks about the psychotherapy method used in the FDA research, and shared this article on the topic: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapsychiatry/article-abstract/2824481.

Her thorough coverage of turning points, issues, and controversies makes this book a must-read for anyone in the field of MDMA-Assisted Therapy and beyond.

In this episode, she talks about various psychedelic initiatives she helped co-create, including a progressive non-profit Roots to Thrive Psychedelic Assisted Therapy, the Psychedelic Association of Canada, the first Canadian post-graduate certificate in psychedelic therapies, and the largest-ever psilocybin microdosing study with over 33,000 participants. Among many other topics, we talk about the great value of group therapy.
In this third part of the MDMA-Assisted Therapy series, Dr. Darek Dawda reviews numerous topics related to safety. He argues that, given the nature of this therapy, extra emphasis on safety is of utmost importance, and that some aspects of safety, such as what happens after the dosing sessions, require much more attention than they have received to date. The importance of extended Informed Consent is emphasized.
Darek Dawda in conversation with Rick Doblin, a legendary visionary who founded MAPS, and who is just about to make one of the most effective known psychotherapies legally available for medical therapeutic use.

Gül’s work is essential for understanding why MDMA-Assisted Therapy is so capable of helping us learn how to love.

Hence, the therapeutic context is key to MDMA’s therapeutic benefit. Gül discusses a host of other ideas essential for understanding MDMA-Assisted Therapy.
Gül is a neuroscientist at Johns Hopkins University. She has published in the most prestigious academic journals, including Neuron, Nature, and Science.

In this 3-episode podcast series, we present numerous personal accounts of experiences with MDMA, both in the recreational and therapeutic context. These interviews were recorded at the historic Psychedelic Science 2023 conference in Denver, the largest gathering to date of people who work on advancing the research, access, and legalization of psychedelic-assisted therapies. The interviews are unedited personal accounts featuring a broad cross-section of people from different walks of life. We want to emphasize that MDMA is currently illegal and that using MDMA carries risks, occasionally serious risks, and so we do not encourage anyone to use MDMA before MDMA-Assisted Therapy becomes legally available. A final note, notice that in my introduction, I accidently call Rick Doblin “Rick Heart.”
