Because Ketamine is safe, legal, accessible with extraordinary immediate anti-depressant effects, helps with anxiety, it has recently become very popular due to psychedelic research in general, but it has been legal. It creates neuroplasticity, targets glutamate for quick and lasting impact.

Ketamine is a medicine that creates a shift in perception by directly impacting significant centers in your brain chemistry while also being a dissociative that allows your mind to step away from your default mode, giving the direct opportunity to use therapy in a magnified way.

Ketamine is a medication originally used for induction and maintenance of anesthesia. It induces dissociative anesthesia, a trance-like state providing pain relief, sedation, and amnesia.”

Research over the years discovered that Ketamine's psychedelic dissociative effects provide a way for people to separate themselves from their mental health challenges, both psychologically and chemically in the brain, which gives an extraordinary window for creating real change when paired with therapy.

While initially Ketamine was heavily researched specifically for treatment resistant depression (with amazing outcomes) it was later found that Ketamine also drastically helped with:

PTSD

Bipolar I or II Depressive Disorders

Generalized Anxiety Disorder

OCD

Substance Use Disorders

Relationship and existential Issues

It is a medicine that promotes healthier and rewired brain activity (neuroplasticity enhancement, dendrite rejuvenation, and fresh synapses), it targets the areas of the brain that are stuck in certain patterns.

Ketamine with Therapy can enhance the positive effects of the medicine by integrative processes that use the window of treatment to maximize therapy results. I have witnessed numerous positive results when compared to clinics that just leave you in a room, many clients remark on the increased benefits of guided therapy ketamine work!

In collaboration with you, the client, we journey through the benefits and better optimize the neuroplasticity happening within you.

Using mindfulness, integration, and tools like breathwork and guided meditation, you can magnify the therapy experience.

It is a huge investment towards feeling better, feeling better gives you returns on that investment. While Ketamine can cost more up front, it can also shorten your duration in therapy, as you may receive more sustainable and rapid results.

There are numerous potential benefits to Ketamine and below are just some examples and possibilities. As diverse as humans are so can the benefits be, and it is within the process of therapy and integration that any benefits can be better sustained, magnified, or understood.

📿It is also important to note, that as with any process or medicine, healing is a multilayered experience and requires willingness and change in order to be maintained.

Possible Benefits:

Various experiences, included relieved depression, anxiety, improved mood regulation, motivation increase, renewed sense of hope and gratitude, feelings of interconnection, opens emotional receptivity and expression, at times it can allow a deeper touch in to trauma for healing, mystical experiences that promote a greater sense of significance,

On a biophysical level, the medicine creates neuroplasticity for up to seven days post treatment, it is also targeting the Glutamate in your brain, which regulates ALL sorts of body mechanics, "Because it is the main molecule promoting neuronal excitation, glutamate is the principal mediator of cognition, emotions, sensory information, and motor coordination, and is linked to the activity of most other neurotransmitter systems (e.g., dopamine, acetylcholine, serotonin, etc)."
