Trust Surrender Receive: How MDMA Can Release Us From Trauma and PTSD Paperback – July 30, 2017

I’m 72 years old. I’m the original Doubting Thomas. I am skeptical of all claims that have even the slightest sniff of hyperbole. For many years I contemplated the use of MDMA to help me with crippling PTSD. After reading this phenomenal book I summoned up the courage to work with a therapist and try MDMA. After the first session, to say that my life has improved 100% is an understatement. Everything has changed, yet nothing has changed. I now understand myself and my place in life as I never have before. As I read several times in this remarkable book, MDMA was like six years of therapy in six hours. This book helped me heal and change my life.

This is a stunning, cogent, and utterly persuasive book that explains through clear exegesis interspersed with moving testimonials how, as the subtitle promises, MDMA can release people from trauma and PTSD. I was left with a clear understanding of how so many of the modern ailments that plague us—addiction, depression, anxiety, relationship troubles, anger—are ultimately outgrowths of trauma. And the writer offers a beautiful explanation of how MDMA, experienced with the help of a trained attendant, can affectively lead one to re-experience one's trauma in a completely safe and calm setting, and how that allows for its release. As Other writes, "the only way out is through." I was left with a clear sense of how this medicine works, and my only negative sense after reading the book was that it's a tragedy that it's not widely available to all the millions with diagnosed mental health problems, to say nothing of the millions more who suffer in silence. The testimonials are varied and well written, giving a real sense of the breadth and benefits of the therapy. I hope this book helps advance this therapy into the mainstream, and that it eventually becomes available to all who need it.

Thank you, Anne, for writing this book. I have shared it with loved ones who have PTSD and I think it may inspire them to go down this path in order to get healing. Reading others experiences is so helpful. Loved this book and would give 10 stars if I could!

These testimonies make it clear that when utilized properly this medicine can have a profound effect on anyone who has experienced trauma. I strongly recommend this text to help anyone who is struggling to find themselves to consider this book.

This is a must read for anyone who has PTSD, anxiety or depression

Really great look into the experiences of those whose lives have been transformed by the medicine. Hopeful and moving accounts and many truths to apply.

If you're wondering whether or not MDMA might help you or someone you love, this book has stories of 40 people who've been helped a LOT. Very compelling read.

Amazing compilation of a wide range of MDMA experiences through proper set and setting conducive to healing and self awareness growth. Highly recommended for anyone interested in understanding the power of MDMA in proper set and setting.

As a life coach, I regularly work with people who experience all manner of blocks to changes they wish to make and goals they would like to achieve. Generally, it is clear that these blocks, resistances and difficulties come from emotional or mental health issues.I believe that so many could benefit from having access to these types of medicines.The way the book is written, it weaves the experience of both the client and the attendant so that we get a real sense of what a session would be like. It makes things very personal by giving stories verbatim and yet somehow manages to be very clear about the actual procedures that are invloved before, during and after the session.It shows so many different aspects of the work depending on the depth and breadth of the trauma suffered by each client. I feel that it's honest in that it shows both the helpfulness of the medicine and, very importantly, the work the client must do once the medicine is out of their bodies. No illusions. This is not a miracle cure but it certainly appears to be a nice strong push in the right direction.

I couldn't put this down. Very authentic testmonies. Clear descriptions of the process of the MDMA Assisted therapy. A travesty that this is illegal.

Ce livre est très instructif pour qui veut explorer le pouvoir thérapeutique de la MDMA. Très bien écrit : ).Se lit comme un roman. Je le conseille fortement.
