Imagine you’ve been slipped a pill that makes all your problems go away. A feeling of complete contentment washes over you. A surge of love pulses through your body, and you feel deeply connected to everyone around you. Blissfully, you glide along, absorbing the vibrant colors of your surroundings. A smile spreads across your face as you revel in a new sense of love and gratitude for yourself.
You’re not at a rave. There’s no electronic dance music vibrating through the walls. You’re in your therapist’s office, and they’ve just given you MDMA, a psychedelic drug more commonly known as ecstasy or Molly.
