ICPR 2024 Abstract

Journey of a lifetime. Patient and therapist perspectives on MDMA-Assisted Therapy for PTSD

We will explore the transformative impact of MDMA-assisted therapy through the dual perspectives of both a patient and a therapist. This live interview will delve into the personal journey of a patient, a police officer with treatment refractory PTSD, who participated in a clinical trial, alongside insights from one of the treating therapists. Together, they will share their experiences, challenges, and the therapeutic outcomes of this innovative treatment. Attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of the process, benefits, and real-world implications of MDMA-assisted therapy, enhancing insights in these innovative therapeutic practices.

This setup aims to provide a holistic view of the therapy process and its effects, valuable for both professionals and those interested in psychedelic therapy.
