Dr. Hannah McLane is a physician, psychotherapist, and founder of the SoundMind Project in Philadelphia, PA. This nonprofit mental health center is poised to become one of the country’s first FDA-approved MDMA therapy clinics and will soon offer safe, legal, clinician-supported MDMA treatment for PTSD to the general public. MDMA is showing “incredible efficacy” at tackling treatment-resistant PTSD in Phase 3 trials at MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies), with the majority of patients no longer meeting the diagnosis of PTSD and never going back on pharmaceuticals after the completion of the therapy. In this conversation, Hannah talks about what these sessions look like, how the brain deals with trauma, and her mission to provide these revolutionary therapies to the most marginalized communities with the highest rates of PTSD. Join her mission at SoundMindProject.org. More podcasts where podcasts are found and on MauraJames.com.
