What Actually Happens During an MDMA Psychotherapy Session? - Marcela Ot'alora - HPP 68

Speakers: Keith Kurlander, Dr. Will Van Derveer, Marcela Ot'alora

Treating PTSD and other related mental illnesses can be quite challenging for therapists and providers. Each individual is so unique in terms of experiences and how trauma was developed in each case. In a therapy session, there really is no one way to treat clients.

Building trust between us and our clients surely goes a long way towards allowing healing to occur. But doing that can take time and can be extremely costly. But what if there was a faster and a more effective way of achieving that?

In today’s very insightful episode, we are honored to be joined by a deeply respected researcher and therapist, Marcela Ot’alora, M.F.A., M.A., L.P.C. Join us as we have this interesting conversation around psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy using MDMA and how much of an impact it can bring for our clients.
