"Depression is like a woman in black. If she turns up, don't shoo her away. Invite her in, offer her a seat, treat her like a guest and listen to what she wants to say." - C.G. Jung
'Hopefulness is not a neutral position. It is adversarial. It is the warrior emotion that can lay waste to cynicism. Each redemptive or loving act, as small as you like – such as reading to your little boy... keeps the Devil down in the hole.'

The FDA just announced with their vote today that it’s safer to live with PTSD than to receive MDMA-Assisted Therapy from a trained provider. What do you think of that? @tferriss@RickDoblin@Drug_Researcher@jonlubecky@misstaus
Today the FDA rejected MDMA for treatment of PTSD. A terrible blow to patients, researchers, drug policy reformers (yes, medicalization facilitates policy reform), and the many brilliant people that worked tirelessly for decades to prove the safety and efficacy of this treatment.
