What Does Ketamine Feel Like?
***Sorry for the slightly off audio in this episode. We are totally new to this, and didn't realize until post production that the audio was a bit off. We hope you can embrace the imperfection and we are confident you will still be able to learn a lot from this episode. In this episode, we explore the most common question we get as ketamine specialists...what does it feel like? We begin by describing the unique sensations patients commonly feel during a ketamine session, including dissociation, altered perceptions of time and space, euphoria, and deep introspection.
We delve into the significance of these sensations. The environment and setting also play a critical role in shaping the experience and, consequently, its outcomes.
Scientific insights are shared, highlighting studies that correlate the intensity and nature of the ketamine experience with long-term benefits. Additionally, we feature personal stories from individuals who have undergone ketamine therapy, providing a human touch to the clinical data.
