#016: Healing from Trauma and Saving a Marriage with MDMA, Psilocybin, and Ayahuasca | Alexandra Titova

Alexandra Titova’s first experience with psychedelics came when she tried LSD in her 20s. She gained insights about the universe but didn’t find those early experiences therapeutic. In 2018, she was introduced to an MDMA guide after she began having some mental health challenges, including her first-ever panic attack. Her MDMA experiences allowed her to work through childhood trauma she experienced growing up in Eastern Europe and allowed her to open up to her spouse about issues in their marriage. In 2020, Alex’s marriage was on the verge of ending when she attended two ayahuasca ceremonies in Europe. She credits these ceremonies with saving her marriage. Alex continues to use psychedelics for therapeutic purposes and recently traveled to Peru to participate in ayahuasca ceremonies. Her experiences were intense but she returned home having again learned important lessons from ayahuasca.
