Are My Recovered Memories Real? Part 1: MDMA & The Man Who Thought He Was “Insane”

Ed couldn’t sleep. It all started when his daughter nearly died on an escalator. The frayed attention started then too. So did the fits of rage. As exhaustion & problems piled up, Ed’s life slowly spiraled out of control. Nothing he tried had worked. Nothing helped him sleep or made him less angry. Finally, as a last-ditch effort, Ed tried psychedelic therapy. But the experience didn’t cure his sleeplessness, it just handed him a mystery: A recovered memory that might explain everything.If… it was real.Chapters(00:00) Intro.
