Dr. Carla Clements — MDMA, psychedelics and the future of therapy.

Listen to the UNcivilized Podcast:

We all know the healing methods such as going to therapy, breathwork, psychologists, but have you ever thought that the use of the MDMA may be all you need?

Today's guest, Dr. Carla June Clements, learned about the benefits of psychedelics in the '60s before it was outlawed. In this episode, she shared with us her point of view on the use of psychedelics for therapy and personal healing.

ABOUT DR. CARLA CLEMENTS

Dr. Carla Clements (PhD, LPC, BCPB) has been a professor at Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado, in the Mindfulness-Based Transpersonal Psychology Department for the last 15 years. She was the chair of the department for a decade, and taught Assessments, Group Dynamics, Helping Relationships, and Transpersonal Psychology. In May 2018, she retired to become the Principal Investigator of the DMTx program.

Carla has also maintained a private practice in psychotherapy, specializing in the treatment of PTSD in women for the past 30 years. For three years, Carla was the Independent Rater for the MAPS-sponsored phase 2 study of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for treatment resistant, chronic PTSD. This experience renewed a lifelong interest in consciousness-expanding compounds which she continues to research today
