It presents intimate insights into entactogenic experiences from first-hand accounts of clients who participated in group therapy sessions, and crucial background on the neurobiological and psychospiritual components of those experiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe word “entactogen” refers to compounds that “produce a touching within” — derived from the roots \u003cem\u003een\u003c\/em\u003e (Greek: within), \u003cem\u003etactus\u003c\/em\u003e (Latin: touch), and \u003cem\u003egen\u003c\/em\u003e (Greek: produce). Entactogens decrease anxiety, increase trust, self-acceptance, and openness, and allow easier access to memories — providing fertile ground for transformative healing. Therapists used entactogens such as MDMA in their practice before it was criminalized in 1985, and recent placebo-controlled studies have demonstrated MDMA’s therapeutic potential for chronic, treatment-resistant PTSD.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003e-\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy this book matters\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne of the few books to document MDMA-assisted \u003cem\u003egroup\u003c\/em\u003e psychotherapy — a modality with unique therapeutic potential that remains underexplored\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCombines firsthand patient accounts with neurobiological and psychospiritual context bridging the experiential and the scientific\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduces and defines the concept of “entactogens”, a category of healing substances whose therapeutic value is now being confirmed by clinical research\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDocuments therapeutic practices from before MDMA’s criminalization in 1985, a historical record of what was lost and what is now being recovered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEssential reading for therapists, researchers, and anyone seeking to understand the full therapeutic landscape of MDMA and related compounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"By Torsten Passie, MD","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44719007105069,"sku":"9780979862274","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/9268\/4077\/files\/healing-with-entactogens-cover-small.jpg?v=1773783755"}],"url":"https:\/\/synergeticpress.com\/collections\/torsten-passie.oembed","provider":"Synergetic Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
