While struggling with PTSD, social researcher Rebecca Huntley chose an unconventional and underground path to healing — MDMA therapy.
Rebecca Huntley is well known to many Australians for her formidable intellect and career as a broadcaster, an author and a social researcher.
But despite her impressive public-facing life, in private, Rebecca's trauma from a difficult upbringing refused to leave her.
At 50, she walked the Camino in Italy and realised that after 30 years of therapy, she was still living with a great deal of anger about what had happened to her as a child.
She decided to take a radical step to deal with her PTSD and her suffering.
She had three sessions of MDMA therapy, delivered by an underground healer.
The treatment changed Rebecca's life and her view of the world.
