MDMA-Assisted Therapy for the Wounded Healer: Help fund a pioneering study

MDMA-assisted therapy is framed as a tool for training therapists through a concept called Empathogen-Assisted Therapist Development (EATD). The page promotes a two-part live online training featuring long video clips from an MDMA-assisted therapy case focused on “wounded healer” dynamics, and claims the training includes preparation, dosing support, and integration learning. The author says the format includes authentic clinical footage and therapist-centered inquiry meant to drive self-reflection, improve interoceptive tracking, and support safer clinical practice. EATD is presented as a structured personal and professional development protocol over five months, using three individual MDMA sessions within group-based support. The piece argues this therapist development approach can help address challenges to implementing MDMA-assisted therapy by shifting focus from “which method works” to “which therapist is in the room,” while aiming to standardize safety and ethics and support downstream outcomes like reduced anxiety and more receptive presence.
