Russell Kennedy
About this episode

Hey everyone, Dr. Russ here! On this episode of AnxietyRX, we're diving into some cutting-edge therapy – MDMA therapy!

I'll be chatting with Jonathan Robinson, who's had amazing results using it to treat anxiety and past trauma.

We'll talk about how MDMA can open you up to love, connection, and heal those deep emotional wounds way faster than traditional therapy sometimes can.

Plus, we'll cover how to make this a safe and powerful experience, including things like integration and keeping a positive mindset.

It's all about healing, love, gratitude, and why believing in the process is key.

Let's unlock some amazing possibilities together!

Thank you for listening and you can find me on IG: @theanxietymd if you have any questions.
