For anyone interested in the subject of psychedelic therapy, Tom Shroder's Acid Test is a great read.

MDMA won't give you a full on trip, but it is always better to do new drugs with a sober person to guide you (preferably one who is experienced). MDMA may help you feel intimate enough with a therapist to explore your deep down issues fully and honestly (even more honestly than the full honesty you think you are now).

LSD can be way more of a full on out there experience with open eyed visuals if you take a larger dose, but can provide a trippy mind space on lower doses without the full on fun house effects. There is a very good chance anxieties will well up during LSD use and the trip will turn "bad" for a bit. This sounds counterproductive, but looking your issues in the eye and doing battle with them may help. I personally have done battle with some demons on LSD and while it may feel like you are going to die at the time it can be really overwhelming but it's always been good in the end for me and very life affirming. Lots of sweating, lots of fear, crying on one occasion (I've tripped non-recreationally about 10 times (i.e. not at a concert but to explore my own psyche) but in the end I've always overcame and pushed through and been better for it. Full disclosure, I don't have PTSD, but have experienced a lot of death in my immediate family.

Combining the two is known on the street as "candy flipping," but may be good for you in low doses of each because the MDMA will help keep the trip on the happy side.

If you are going to do LSD it may be handy to have a bar or 2 of xanax (or some other benzo) around as if the trip gets too intense you can eat those and it will negate a lot of the trip (the anxiety and in my experience tone down the visuals).

Either way I suggest you and or your therapist check out this excellent book: http://www.amazon.com/Acid-Test-Ecstasy-Power-Heal/dp/0399162798

Another full disclosure, I just started this book, so if it turns out to be crackpottery in the second half sorry, but it is good so far and has had some excellent reviews.
