What MDMA Reveals About Trauma with Jill Sitnick | #58

What if the anxiety, fear, and self-doubt you carry today were never really about today at all? After building a successful career and checking all the boxes society told her to pursue, Jill Sitnick found herself blindsided by a PTSD diagnosis that traced back to a childhood she never realized was traumatic.

In this deeply personal conversation, Jill shares how childhood wounds can quietly shape our adult lives, why so many people feel stuck in patterns they can't explain, and how her PAUSE Method helps people revisit and heal the moments that created them. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why childhood trauma often hides behind perfectionism, productivity, and achievement • What MDMA-assisted therapy actually looks like and why integration matters more than the journey itself • How to identify the emotional patterns that may still be running your life decades later Whether you're curious about psychedelics, healing old wounds, or simply trying to understand yourself on a deeper level, this conversation offers a hopeful roadmap forward. You are not defined by the survival strategies that once protected you. The moment you understand where they came from is the moment you can begin to choose something different.
