Summary: Tonic explores MAPS-sponsored study of MDMA-assisted therapy for social anxiety in autistic adults. Tonic also speaks to Brad Burge of MAPS about MAPS’ clinical trials of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy as a potential treatment for PTSD. “The best thing about this potential treatment, in my view, is the fact that it only needs to be done a few times. Why is that? We’re not addressing symptoms: We’re addressing the underlying root cause of PTSD—the trauma at its core,” explains Burge. “MDMA has the ability to make you more open and compassionate and trusting. That’s a great idea if you’re dealing with PTSD in a therapeutic setting.”
