Ketamine is classified as a dissociative anesthetic, dissociation meaning a sense of disconnection from one’s ordinary reality and usual self. At the dosage level administered to you, you will most likely experience mild anesthetic, anxiolytic, anti-depressant and, potentially, some psychedelic effects. Non-ordinary (“altered”), transpersonal (i.e. “mystical”, “spiritual”, peak experiences often occur.) Research has demonstrated the possibility of an antidepressant response to low dosages of ketamine. The antidepressant effect tends to be more sustained with repeated therapeutic use.
These sessions may prove to be auspicious in resolving your existential problems, accelerating your psycho-spiritual growth and leading to a deep personal transformation and optimization of your lifestyle. Such change is best facilitated within a structured supportive psychotherapeutic session in connection with a therapist who has spent time focusing on your history and has an understanding of your issues, hopes, desires, and struggles. As a byproduct of your experience, you may well feel improvement in your emotional state and reduction in symptoms that bother you such as depression, anxiety, and manifestations of post-traumatic stress. You may well notice that you are a bit different after a ketamine experience and that difference may well be liberating and allow for incorporating more mindfulness and new behaviors.
Psychedelic, ‘dissociative’ experiences may well be instrumental in providing a catalyst for deep change. This may well include a positive change in outlook and character that I term a ‘transformative’ response. Essential to the method is a slightly altered state of consciousness with the lozenges, typically lasting 30 minutes to 60 minutes. Relief from challenges provided by ketamine, and the exploration and experience of other possible states of consciousness are also impactful.
While it is best to form an intention for your journey, you may or may not be able to hold onto that. Indeed, no holding on is best and the journey will flow whether or not you hold on and resist or follow the path that unfolds and relax into it. Holding on is the main source of anxiety in this and other related journeys. A ketamine session can be light, dark, or both. Your belief system about challenging experiences and your practice and ability to access your breath will help guide you through times that feel more challenging during the session. The purpose of the sublingual ketamine lozenge sessions is to generate a robust antidepressant, or other benefits, like decreasing PTSD symptoms, that often occurs over time with repetition of administration of the lozenges.
ROUTE OF ADMINISTRATION
You will be administered ketamine via lozenge(s) sublingually.
MONITORING
It is essential that you be followed closely during and after your treatment. This will include blood pressure and pulse measurements–as appropriate, and psychological assessment tools administered before your first and subsequent sessions to measure effects. Follow-up will be by telephone, email and in-person contact as needed. You will be entering a psychotherapy program that will prepare you for your ketamine sessions and assist you in integrating your experiences afterwards. This program emphasizes the possibilities for change, and is greatly assisted by your intentions and beneficial actions, as well as my efforts to assist you.
