Ketamine, an FDA-approved anesthetic and pain reliever, is utilized in ketamine-assisted therapy for its rapid therapeutic effects compared to traditional talk therapy. Through its antidepressant and anxiety-reducing properties, ketamine induces an altered state of consciousness, facilitating an ego-dissolving exploration. Unlike conventional medications that often mask symptoms, ketamine enables individuals to delve into the root causes of their ailments, reshape personal narratives, and achieve therapeutic breakthroughs.

During ketamine sessions, patients experience dissolution of mental barriers, allowing for profound insights into their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. This journey often induces deep relaxation and visual phenomena, leading to a departure from typical thought patterns and providing opportunities for revisiting past experiences.

After the session, patients collaborate with their care provider to integrate insights into daily life, fostering coping strategies, symptom management, and a reframing of personal narratives.

When used recreationally, it is possible for ketamine to lead to addiction, like any substance. When administered by a trained professional as a treatment for depression, ketamine does not seem to induce addictive behavior. Dosage, frequency, and administration methods are carefully monitored to ensure patient safety and prevent any potential for addiction.
