i know it was originally used for therapy with people with ptsd and such......im thinking of using mdma with my girlfriend. we have been having severe communication issues. this is NOT the first thing i thought of. it has been a long time since ive used the drug and ive only used it twice. 1st time i was drunk so i didnt notice much. the 2nd time i rolled hard. this last time was in 02 at the latests...about 10 yrs ago.....

do you think there is a thereaputic value to E as far as couples therapy? now i just have to figure out where to find some.....
 
I believe MDMA can bring any two people together as long as they're open and willing to use it for this reason. Make sure you guys don't have mixed reviews about it before you try (I.E. Don't force the issue upon her).

I've had some really deep sessions whilst under the influence of MDMA, even with people that I wouldn't normally talk to. I have strong faith that this could be beneficial to your relationship if both of you are open to it.. but you guys would have to continue whatever you start after you finish rolling. Ya know it might seem all fine and dandy while you're both rolling but views may change afterwards, so make an agreement if you guys start to work things out that you'll both continue to work at it.

IMO there's no better way to have a deep conversation along with a great time together. I see this working well for the both of you. Let me know how it all goes.
 
Absolutely, it's great for couples therapy. But it shouldn't be the first thing that you jump to (and you said you've tried other things which is good). At the same time you shouldn't rely on the drug to magically fix any sort of problems you're having. After all, it is just a drug.


As you mentioned, it was originally used for therapy, group therapy to be more specific. It is now being reconsidered as a possible treatment for PTSD. In fact there was a thread in DiTM a while back talking about that topic.
 
Yeah I think it's a great idea! As long as she is into it and you aren't forcing it upon her. If she is into it, then YES go for it. If she disagrees, don't try too hard to convince her! If she tries it against her will or just to shut you up or something, it won't be as good.

I've had times where I wanted to talk to my boyfriend about an issue and it just comes out so much easier on mdma. It's not like I can't communicate sober or anything (although communication is hard for me), but it is a lot easier. I also find that it can help keep your relationship more interesting too. :)
 
yes it can , but it can also go the other way (either make or brake )
i knew a couple and it did work for them for a while but they split up few months later.
deep down if the relationship isnt working for whatever reason it will surface again.
 
I've done it and found some things out about my boyfriend that he had put too many walls up to be able to share with me. For better or worse, we keep walls up when we're sober and our influenced mind breaks some of these walls down or put different ones up. All drugs do this, even alcohol. In the case of MDMA, I feel like some things that tie our emotions down and keep them shut out from really being expressed is that image that we must keep pushing out that we are not emotional and such. MDMA allowed him to express to me things he wouldn't have known were keeping us apart until he realized how badly he wanted to say them. It makes you vulnerable but since your doing it together and presumably love eachother, it will be okay. I can't wait to do it again (HOPEFULLY I will be able to...I made a post about whether or not I should but no one is really responding!!) Yeah our relationship was a lot nicer after that, he said he "fell in love" all over. meh.

MDMA saved my wife and my relationship... Several times..

Make sure the stuff you find is real with a test kit. you haven't rolled in 10 years so be sure and get a test kit. Nowadays we got piperazines going around... Little kids think it's MDMA because they've never had the 'real deal'... If you know what MDMA is and then the pills kick in, they will freak you out wondering "wtf did I take this isn't MDMA"... and they will be more of a panic attack than any therapy at all..
 
My last 4 MDMA sessions have each brought me up a bit more out of depression. I've spaced them of course. Its just that I knew what I was doing the last 4 times, and I took good stuff ;)
 
My first few sessions of methylone (bk-MDMA) involved a lot of couples therapy, and it worked out fantastically.

My gf and I are both introverts, and the drug made it possible to talk about our relationship, problems we were having, needs we didn't realize weren't being met, etc. We learned things about each other and came away much happier with our relationship and more confident in our future, and it stuck. It's also somewhat easier to talk about things while sober now, being able to call on the memory of that open communication.

In the past I've done it with MDMA too, but I think the methylone made it a little easier to focus on the conversation since it's less energetic and pushy. Methylone might be easier for you to find, too, as it's a research chemical.
 
Sure it can be helpful for opening up and having honest communication. Many people have had various benefits from MDMA use, including improved relationships.
 
MDMA has a history of being used in couples therapy, actually.

I personally (and unintentionally) got through major struggles in a 7 year destructive relationship I needed to end because of MDMA, and it also allowed the clarity to see that I had a friend for 9 years was incredibly caring and devoted to me- and was the right person. I'm now (as of yesterday) engaged to him. :) I love MDMA for the effect it's had on my sober/every day life- it's made me more accepting, loving, compassionate, and has brought me closer with my family.

I also believe when ever you do a drug, the main ingredient is always you. If you're not open to positive change, and far too stuck in the emotional/psychological situation you're in, then MDMA will likely just serve as entertainment for the night.

Congratulations on your engagement. I see one in my near future myself. =)
