Amber Lyon of Reset.me interviews MDMA-assisted psychotherapy study participant Rachel Hope about how receiving MDMA as an adjunct to therapy in a clinical trial helped her overcome treatment-resistant PTSD. Hope recounts her experience, describes the importance of setting intentions for psychedelic experiences, and reveals life-changing insights that have helped her recover from PTSD and live a more fulfilling life. “It was something like getting acquainted with my very, very best self,” explains Hope. “You get to turn that best, best self onto your most damaged self. Wow— That's profound."
