Ketamine integration

Theendingofhismiddleliving

I have been taking ketamine infusions for some time now; tomorrow is infusion no. 22. I understand that integration is important and am now discussing this topic with my new therapist who I'm basically still getting to know. But the very idea of ketamine integration seems curious to me. As you probably know, ketamine induces a temporary psychotic state and the experience is prima facie mystical. How do I integrate the experience into my life without believing things which are a bit ... shall we say, eccentric? I hope that people have some sense of what I'm getting at. Should I really believe the things which are occurring to me under the influence of this drug? Is this the form that mental health takes today? Aren't we supposed to avoid schizophrenia-spectrum thinking? It seems that today the trend is to embrace it.

  • make sure to communicate your concerns to the doctor doing this too though. they will need to fully know how you feel and think through this as it will be a highly controlled thing and they would want full feedback so they can monitor and ensure its working how they intended.

    but yeah, if it works how health professionals claim.... then it should break any level of serious chronic depression and then prevent it coming back... so you should be in for a good time and good health... if it works how they theorise it works... but you have to ensure to communicate with them and give them full feedback and concerns so they know.
