About Jill
Jill Sitnick brings her unique perspective as a patient who healed childhood trauma-induced PTSD with psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy to demystify MDMA therapy for PTSD. With a career that has spanned teaching high school students through working at Microsoft and Amazon, she has always been known as someone who can take complicated topics and make them accessible. By sharing the details of her treatment in her memoir Rescuing Jill: How MDMA with a Dash of Mushrooms Healed My Childhood Trauma-Induced PTSD, she provides readers with a raw and personal look into the transformative potential of psychedelic-assisted therapy. Her companion workbook, Rescuing Jill Companion Workbook: Intention Setting Prompts for Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy, further equips those wanting to prepare for their own psychedelic healing. Additionally, Jill educates audiences with her YouTube channel, The Journey Sage, by providing practical wisdom on intention setting, integration practices, and working with journey guides to demystify the use of psychedelics to treat PTSD. As a patient voice, her story and educational content provide clarity to a confusing process for people new to psychedelics for healing.

The Road Not Taken
Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
