The Neuroscience

Why ketamine therapy?

Ketamine therapy can be effective in the treatment of grief-related depression symptoms by fueling neural growth and promoting novel perspectives and insights — new ways of processing past experiences and difficult emotions

Heal your brain

Enhances Neuroplasticity

By helping the brain produce a special protein called “brain-derived neurotrophic factor” (BDNF), ketamine has been shown to promote the growth of new connections in the brain, which can help interrupt the cycle of persistent sadness and despair that often accompany grief.

Change your mind

Facilitates emotional processing

During a ketamine therapy session, individuals often enter a deep, introspective state that allows for the processing and release of painful emotions associated with grief

Transform your life

Promotes Perspective Shift

Ketamine therapy can induce profound shifts in perspective, which can aid in fostering acceptance and resilience—two crucial components in navigating the process of grief and healing.

How it Works

How does a ketamine therapy session work?

Am I A Candidate?

Preparation

Each new client is sent a Bloombox. The Bloombox is designed to compartmentalize your sessions from other areas of your life. It’s a home base for you to return to when preparing, running, and integrating your medicine sessions.

Intention Setting

Setting intentions before each session is a helpful way to focus on specific healing objectives. The Mindbloom app includes intention prompts designed by our clinical team to help you clarify what you’re hoping to achieve.

Introspection

Before each session, you’ll take your blood pressure, put on your eye mask, and hold the medicine under your tongue. You’ll start to feel the effects of the dose within 10-15 minutes, and the peak experience will last approximately 30-45 minutes.

Reflection

Each session lasts 1-1.5 hours. Once the session is complete, you’ll be prompted to recap your experience in your journal. Write down any major themes or insights that were present, as memories of the ketamine experience can fade quite quickly.

Integration

After taking some time to process the experience , you’ll reunite with your Guide on video. Your guide will help you unpack your experiences, and build a plan to make small changes to your life while your brain is in a fertile state to do so.

Progress

Each program includes 6 treatment sessions. It’s important that each program has a ‘closing.’ a time to reflect on where you were when you started, and where you are today. We offer more advanced programs for clients interested in tackling new goals as they arise.
