Ketamine & Your Brain

Neuroplasticity

NMDA receptor blocker, tricks brain into release of Glutamate which is involved in synaptogenesis. In essence, repeated Ketamine infusions create a state of ‘hyper-neuroplasticity’ which can be leveraged via psychotherapy and coaching to have lasting behavioral and psychological changes.

Awe

At the right dose, the ketamine creates the classic psychedelic ‘transpersonal’ experience. Patients experience a numinous, euphoric sensation of observing themselves in the vastness of their consciousness. Often described as awe, love, expansiveness and timelessness. For patients struggling with the tightness and heaviness of depression and anxiety, this expansive experience leaves a profoundly positive impression.

Mindfulness

As dose increases, so does the patient experience of being outside their body and mind. Processing dark memories, past traumas, fearful beliefs is possible from a state of hyper-mindfulness. This is why guidance by a trained psychedelic guide is so important. Helps patient be mindful and aware of what it is like to not be completely hooked to thoughts and feelings.
