In the studies I read, MDMA wasn't being given for a "one time break" from PTSD symptoms. It was used to unlock the deeper, more complex emotions that Ecstacy users report having. Theoretically, it allows the PTSD sufferer to access memories and feeling which they have otherwise blocked and dissociated from. I really appreciate your knowledge and opinion on this subject.
