Some people climb mountains without professional guides.
Beginners usually need a trainer and a guide to at least get started and to not end up in a life risking situation.
In medical science those professionals are often called doctors and nurses.

- wutbrodo 9y agoI wasn't talking about beginners doing it, but there's enough confusion in the replies to my comment that the fault is probably mine for not being clear enough. What I was wondering is more along the lines of: is the therapy appreciably different to complement the MDMA, or is it simply the increased openness etc that makes normal modes of therapy more effective? I didn't intend to suggest that people _should_ take MDMA before therapy, but it was just a thought experiment to get at the above question. I only wondered about it because, as I said, I've incidentally done as much while talking with friends.
