“Listening to Ecstasy: The Transformative
Power of MDMA”
by Charles Wininger

 

Topic Focus

Now here’s a fascinating personal narrative covering the author’s journey of discovery when it comes to how MDMA can revitalize one’s mental health, personal relationships, and more from the perspective of a trained therapist. This licensed psychoanalyst and mental health counselor does a wonderful job of documenting the experiences shared with his wife when it comes to further exploring just what MDMA has to offer in terms of mental health benefits. Let’s crack this one open and see what we can learn about beneficial MDMA usage from this
unique perspective!

About the Author

Author Charles Wininger is a veteran mental health counselor and a licensed psychoanalyst who possesses a genuine passion for contributing to the lives of others via mental health and
seems quite ardent when it comes to spreading his message regarding the benefits presented from proper MDMA usage. Charles considers himself to be an avid psychonaut (psychedelic explorer) and has been a licensed psychoanalyst for over 30 years and lives in the New York area with his wife. His appreciation for what MDMA has to offer has been a huge factor and motivation when it comes to his work, writing, and other endeavors as he sees it as a way to help change the world for the better one person at a time.

Reading Experience

Finding the unique narrative style between personal experience combined with the expertise of a mental health professional makes for a rare book indeed. A few things become quite evident quickly here; the author is very knowledgable when it comes to the topics at hand, he is very passionate about the potential benefits of MDMA, and that this book was not put together on a sudden whim or with minimal effort. Everything from the authors owns introduction to the personal observations regarding MDMA sessions, MDMA usage tips and protocols, and all the way through to the notes and resources provided at the end reads as though the author were striving to convey just how much of a benefit this can be to so many people.

Summary

It’s not every day that you get to peer into the mind of an MDMA-oriented psychoanalyst with years of experience as a mental health advisor so this book has unique value and insight to
offer right off the bat. If you’ve been curious about exploring MDMA usage, then this book would make for an excellent jumping-off point as a legitimate professional writes it with years of experience who seems to possess a genuine passion for helping others to live better lives from the inside out. The balance between personal anecdotal experience coupled with the expertise of a licensed psychoanalyst makes for a potent combination that seems much more trustworthy than other comparable titles.

We are moving quickly into uncharted territory in terms of how the medical community is finally able to dive further into cannabis research without potential legal repercussions so it is a huge advantage to see experts such as authors Samoon Ahmad M.D. and Kevin P. Hill M.D MHS share their level of knowledge with the rest of us and with other medical professionals that might need guidance regarding cannabis use in their own patients.

Today we are taking a look at “Medical Marijuana: A Clinical Handbook” to see for ourselves just what kind of solid information the expert authors have brought to the table for us.

This should be a very fascinating one to peer into so let’s get started!

Written like a guide and easy to navigate, this book expertly covers topics ranging from the pharmacological profiles of CBD and THC, the cultural and medical implementations of cannabis, and so much more.

-Reading Experience-

“Medical Marijuana: A Clinical Handbook” is written as a reference guide and certainly reads like one. The flow that one might desire from a less serious book is not present but the compelling level of information presented in the book keeps it fascinating even for those of us who are not medical professionals.

It seems like a powerful asset for any medical professional to add to their arsenal of knowledge as much of the scientific advancement regarding cannabis has been suppressed up until recently.

This book feels like a treasure trove of solid information that is both enlightening and fascinating to read.
