Do you know how to claim your grief and pursue an inner resolution? Many people bury their emotions believing it makes them stronger, but often times holding in trauma handicaps other emotional progress down the line.    Dr. Dan Engle is the author of A Dose of Hope and Board Certified in Psychiatry and Neurology. He advises his clients, specifically those suffering from PTSD, on how to heal trauma through assisted psychotherapy sessions and serves as an advocate for legalizing the use of drugs such as MDMA in controlled circumstances.    On this episode of Underdog Empowerment, Zach speaks with Dr. Engle about the experience and his personal concerns about participating in MDMA-assisted psychotherapy. Dr. Engle encourages Zach to embrace the transitional work associated with taking these medications in a controlled environment. Listen in for an episode that will get you rethinking how to orient your inner truth.   What You'll Learn: How Zach has already begun confronting his trauma through micro-dosing in nature What Dr. Engle cautions users about when they begin to pursue trauma recovery through psychotherapies Why he said success rates for treating PTSD with MDMA will help the drug become legal for regulated use in the near future And much more!   Favorite Quote:   “All medicines have their sweet spot. If you use the right amount, then there's usually a positive outcome. If you don't use enough, there's no effect. You use too much -- it's poison. Psychedelics are the same way. The art of it is to know which is the right amount for which person to use of which medicine at which time. We're in the early stages of understanding how to bring the art of this medicine into a therapeutic style of facilitation.” — Dr. Dan Engle Connect with Dr. Dan:   drdanengle.com   Twitter   How to Get Involved:   Get podcasting help here.   For more on MDMA Therapy, check out this episode with Tucker Max.   If you enjoyed this episode, head over and visit us on Apple Podcasts — leave a review and let us know what you thought!
