Part 5/11:
The Experience of Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy
The human stories shared in the interview vividly illustrate the profound, sometimes emotional, journeys clients undertake with ketamine. Patients have reported reconnecting with lost loved ones, such as a father they never fully expressed love to, or releasing decades of suppressed grief from childhood trauma.
The experience is described as a visual and perceptual odyssey—ranging from swirling shapes and ride-like journeys to feeling stuck in the universe’s corner. Many find it both exhilarating and deeply healing, as it grants a safe, protected space where defenses soften, and buried emotions resurface.
