MDMA and Couples with Dr. Anne Wagner | The Mindspace Podcast #37

"I envision a day where people would be able to choose to do MDMA-assisted psychotherapy in a safe context to be either able to heal from something together or to grow together, and to support the relationship."

In this episode of the Mindspace podcast, Dr. Joe speaks with Dr. Anne Wagner. She is a MDMA-assisted therapy researcher, couples therapy psychologist, and the founder of the Remedy Centre. The Remedy Centre is a social venture that provides individual, couples, and group therapy and uses the profit from those services to re-invest into the Remedy Institute, “a new charity focused on supporting mental health innovation & research, including with psychedelics, training for aspiring mental health professionals, as well as low to no-cost therapy services for marginalized communities.”

She is the principal investigator on a pilot trial investigating the impact of MDMA-assisted Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) on PTSD and is planning a study that will investigate the impact of MDMA-assisted Cognitive Behavioural Conjoint Therapy (CBCT) on PTSD.
