Summary: ELLE UK speaks to couples about how the therapeutic use of MDMA has helped them improve their intimate relationships. The article covers the therapeutic use of MDMA as an adjunct to psychotherapy for treating relationship problems, trauma, and PTSD, highlighting MAPS’ ongoing trial of MDMA-assisted cognitive-behavioral conjoint therapy in dyads in which one member has PTSD. “MDMA does tend to bring people’s attention to important issues in their lives,” explains MAPS-sponsored MDMA researcher Michael Mithoefer, M.D. “Patients usually raise their experiences of trauma during the MDMA sessions without any prompting.”
