In this Your Head In Mind episode, Kyle sits down with Jill Sitnik, founder of JourneySage, to explore her personal journey with PTSD and the life-changing effects of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy. Together, they discuss the emotional and physical toll of trauma, the healing process, and the potential of psychedelics to transform mental health treatment. Jill shares her experiences with MDMA therapy, the importance of integration, and how imagination and community support play a vital role in recovery.
