No mollycoddling at work.

 Sounds to me like the therapists here want to prescribe themselves Ecstasy to become better listeners in service of their patients. (?)  Trippy!  Everybody sober on work hours, I say. Therapists too.

 One of the peculiarities of MDMA is that it turns its users into listeners.... [T]he sexiness associated with MDMA might not be one of its intrinsic properties; instead, the drug might work more broadly to deepen our interest in others. Therapy is a social pursuit: a good therapist provides not just insight and tools but a relationship in which it’s possible to change.
