[Hac-announce] Monday Night 7pm on Zoom - MDMA and PTSD

[Carol Siddall]

We hope you join us on Monday night at 7pm for this talk on MDMA and PTSD!

In November of 2018 we enjoyed a presentation on Race Politics and 
Cannabis by attorney Aaron Romano. Knowing that we're interested in the 
effects of easier access to drugs long inaccessible due to the war on 
drugs, he thought we might be interested in current clinical research on 
psychedelics. And so, thanks to his introduction, we will be treated to 
a panel of researchers led by Terence H.W. Ching, M.S. who is a Doctoral 
Student in Clinical Psychology at Uconn and a Clinical Psychology 
Doctoral Intern at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center.

In this conversation, they will present a brief overview of 
psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy at the intersection of MDMA (aka 
ecstasy or molly) and post traumatic stress disorder (PSTD), what it is 
and what it tends to look like procedurally. They also discuss legal and 
ethical ramifications of the state of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy 
research programs. Finally, they have an informational sharing by 
someone who has received MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for PTSD, to help 
shed light on the nuances of what it is like to undergo this 
breakthrough treatment. There will be time at the end for Q&A in which 
they hope to invite a humanism- and equity-centric conversation about 
psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy and access.
