Gwyneth Paltrow used controversial therapy to improve relationship with mom Blythe Danner

Gwyneth Paltrow used controversial therapy to improve relationship with mom Blythe Danner

Gwyneth Paltrow claimed her relationship with her famous mother Blythe Danner ‘shifted’ after she started using the rave drug MDMA therapeutically.

‘I had done the therapeutic MDMA with the therapist and I remember because you said, “Oh, your relationship with your mom is so gentle,”‘ the 52-year-old Goop CEO-founder recalled to friend Amy Griffin on her Goop podcast Wednesday.

‘Remember, you’re like, “What, what shifted? You know, you’re not annoyed with your mom anymore.” And I was like, “Well, I had this incredible experience, and I told you about it.”‘

The Tell author pointed out how Gwyneth had a vibe of ‘peace and calmness’ after ‘really been going inward and and doing some work.’

Paltrow first revealed on Netflix’s The Goop Lab in 2020 that she used MDMA with her second husband Brad Falchuk, which she called ‘a very, very emotional experience.’

The psychedelic stimulant (also known as ecstasy and molly) was classified as a Schedule I controlled substance by the US Drug Enforcement Administration back in 1986.

But in 2017, the Multidisciplinary ᴀssociation for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) did clinical trials that led to a breakthrough therapy designation by the FDA for potential use as a treatment for PTSD.

Australia was the first country to approve the legal use of MDMA-ᴀssisted psycH๏τherapy for the treatment of depression and PTSD in 2023.

The 82-year-old Tony winner welcomed the Oscar winner and 49-year-old son Jake Paltrow during her 32-year marriage to St. Elsewhere executive producer Bruce Paltrow, which lasted until his death at age 58 due to complications from oral cancer and pneumonia.

Last July, Gwyneth insisted to People that Blythe was ‘absolutely okay’ after being taken away by ambulance from a Hamptons party.

By September, Danner was back at work filming her role as Mimi in Rich Allen’s upcoming destination wedding rom-com Small Potatoes.

Last year, Paltrow wrapped her role as Timothée Chalamet’s much older love interest in Josh Safdie’s solo feature directorial debut Marty Supreme, which hits US theaters December 25.

A24’s $70M-budget ping pong drama also stars Tyler the Creator, Fran Drescher, Penn Jillette, Abel Ferrera, and Sandra Bernhard.

The LA-born nepo-baby – whose godfather is Steven Spielberg – will also have a cameo in Rachel Israel’s indie comedy Miracle on 74th Street alongside Drew Barrymore, Jill Kargman, Justin Bartha, David Krumholtz, Christine Taylor, and Jason Biggs.
