I found this text about Triptherapie in Psychology magazine:

For decades, Marjan (64) carried the burden of a severe trauma with her. Two years ago, she decided enough was enough and dared to try something completely new: MDMA therapy.

‘'I was 19 and on holiday in France. In broad daylight, I was abducted and raped at knifepoint. I was terrified. Fortunately, I survived. I come from a loving middle-class family, but we didn't talk about feelings or grief. I couldn't process it alone and went to the GP, but wasn't referred: “The Riagg is for people who need it.”'’

To the outside world, I apparently functioned just fine: I worked, studied, and had a social network. But I was anxious, withdrawn, and kept relationships at bay, and increasingly blamed myself for everything. I knew: this is not who I am, so I kept seeking help. EMDR, haptotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy. In late 2023, my cousin asked: "Isn't MDMA or truffle therapy something for you?" Drugs, me? Are you crazy! But I was curious and decided to watch the Netflix documentary *How to Change Your Mind*, about research into the effects of psychedelics on trauma, among other things. What if this is something for me? I had nothing to lose, Googled "trip therapy," and booked a session in the safe environment of my home.

After taking the MDMA, I lay down under my weighted blanket. Psychedelic music played, and after half an hour, the 'stuff' started to work. It was like being in a movie. I was in contact with myself, something I had lost for forty years. I had myself as a child at different ages on my lap, and eventually, the 19-year-old raped girl as well. My family stood in a circle around us. I said: 'Go ahead and comfort her, she likes that.' And so, almost 44 years later, my 19-year-old self was comforted by family after all. Finally, amazing! Even my deceased father was there: 'I am always there for you.' In a square, I saw my rapist, insignificant, small, and meaningless. I picked him up and threw him off me.

Through this session, I was able to look at myself and feel inner strength and pride. I also saw how I had suppressed my grief, how I couldn't make clear to others what I needed, and how I rejected myself. After four MDMA sessions, I feel reborn. I'm not there yet, but new pathways are forming in my brain and I am significantly less anxious. I listen to myself and go for bike rides and walks: even on my own. I find it regrettable that psychedelic therapy is not reimbursed. This should be an option for everyone with trauma.

Yes, in the psychology article about Like being reborn after magic mushrooms and MDMA Marjan's story is depicted. I (MarcelI guided Marjan during her psychedelic sessions, and we therefore nominated her to the editors of Psychologie Magazine as someone who wants to tell her story.

It's great to see that Triptherapie is collaborating so much on these kinds of media outputs! I think you guys get asked the most for these sort of things.

@Marcel How wonderful that you have been asked to do this and that you are participating!
