In our long-running conversation/argument on if/how current MDMA formulations have changed the subjective experience, this post provided a link to a paper I found interesting.
In it I learned a new term: "emotional relaxation."
I found that really accurate, and useful. I've posted previously about my own experiences, which are noneuphoric but still seem to provide some of the therapeutic benefits afterward: better access to my emotions, an increased interest in sociability/communication. But I've struggled to describe how it does feel, and dang if that term didn't scratch that itch.
There's another conversation I'm not sure about yet, related to a progressive response to MDMA, rather than a declining/oops-tolerance one, but that's a work in progress. Maybe after my next go-round or two, and I see a stronger pattern emerge.
Yep, so that's the whole post. I really just wanted to point at that term in case anyone else found it useful or thought-provoking the way I did.
