Although she's not a veteran, author Jill Sitnick shares her profound experience using MDMA to heal childhood trauma and find peace—to offer hope to veterans struggling with PTSD, depression, and suicidal ideation. From breaking down emotional barriers to reprogramming the brain, MDMA-assisted therapy offers the profound ability to help people process past trauma without triggering panic and fear. These therapies can provide hope and healing for veterans, trauma survivors, and anyone seeking a new path to emotional freedom. 

Jill is the author of Rescuing Jill: How MDMA, with a Dash of Mushrooms, Healed My Childhood Trauma-Induced PTSD and the companion workbook. Her book shows why it took a year and multiple journeys to fully heal. By describing how MDMA let her view her father’s beatings and mother’s suicide attempts from her adult perspective, she gives you a front-row seat into how psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy healed her trauma and transformed her life.
