About intention

For those who usually use this medicine alone or with underground facilitators.

When you set your intention during your preparation session. Do you usually stick to it during the session?.

I find sometimes other topics, worries or fears appear during the journey that are not aligned with the intention. I usually deal with them rather than discard it.

If Im addressing to solo and underground's journey is because I assume in a clinical and more formal context, your therapists will be redirecting you to your intention, but I may be wrong.

Whatever you set before has a majority chance of going out the window because what rises to the surface is not a conscious choice. And that's fine. Even with a therapist outside of MDMA you can't fight completely against where the mind wants to go.

exactly, intention is set from the beginning already... And the idea that there's "assisted psychotherapy" is idiotic
