[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In a nutshell, can you describe the book and why it’s controversial? Your subject title intrigued me.[/quote]

I'm not OP but I did read the book.  In a nutshull, the author took psychadelics in therapy and through that experience claims to have uncovered long-repressed memories of her being SAed when she was in high school.[/quote]

I think it was middle school, but was it true. That's what I don't get.

[b]And she's a billionaire why make it up[/b].

I guess I'm confused is it a grift or what is the expose about.[/quote]

For attention. She’s a billionaire but that doesn’t mean she’s happy or fulfilled [/quote]

I mean she wasn’t happy or fulfilled. Wasn’t that the reason for her MDMA therapy.[/quote]
Her husband took it too. It's interesting that they are investing in it.

It also occurs to me that the fallout from this could be much worse for people with more precarious life circumstances. I mean, Gwyneth Paltrow can recommend a lot of treatments and ideas because they won't break her bank or probably her personality. She seems pretty strong. The author is too. Experimenting with these drugs may have fewer consequences for them. But what about an average person or someone who is not as resilient? Also, drugs don't work for everyone or have the same effect. Why do this? [/quote]

So much harm caused by one person’s insatiable need for validation:

To her classmate who was actually abused
To her teacher who may be innocent
To the people who may buy into her MDMA grift[/quote]
