Why did theripists used to prescribe E to some people back in the day?

Question

i heard ecstasy actually used to be legal and was used for couples therapy or normal therapy because it lets you release more. is it just the e talking or are those your true feelings?

Answer 1

It was to create a sense of personal euphoria so that the patient would be less likely to put walls up and they would reveal their real thoughts and feelings.

They got the idea from POWs, when they were captured they were given "truth pills" and upon further investigation they found it was really a form of E.

Answer 2

Prescriptions would have been based on personal bias and/or lack of experience. It was another, temporary distraction, at most. Remember, what goes up, must come down.

Answer 3

for POW's (prisoners of war) when they had post tramatic stress disorder, and they would have horrifying flashbacks.

ecstacy releases serotonin, which is supposed to make you happy and feel good, i would not say that those are your true feelings, but they help to open up maybe those locked up happy feelings.
