First off - thank you for all the work you are doing to bring actual, effective treatment to those who need it most.
Regarding the MDMA-assisted psychotherapy; the requirements for the Expanded Access Therapy Team say: "The second provider in a Therapy Pair does not necessarily need to be licensed to conduct psychotherapy but must display training in therapeutic relationship, ethics, and trauma."
Is there any guidance as to what is needed to "display training therapeutic relationship, ethics, and trauma"? Would that be something like a certification in (for example) Somatic Experiencing?
Who makes the final decision if a 2nd provider meets the threshold to apply? Is that MAPS or the FDA?
