Mental Health Awareness Month: How Ketamine Supports Therapeutic Growth

Stacey Blume Frankel, LCSW — Thu, 28 May 2026 13:07:55 +0000

In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, this article is shared in appreciation of the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) and all of the professional providers who serve on the front lines of care. The following piece was originally published in NASW’s Currents Newsletter; it highlights innovative and evolving approaches in clinical practice that reflect this community’s core values —empowerment, healing, and hope.

Innovative Treatments in Clinical Practice

How Ketamine Supports Therapeutic Growth

Innovative modalities like ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) remind us that healing begins with flexibility. When combined with empowerment-focused tools and gratitude-based self-care, these approaches help clients and clinicians alike move from helplessness to hope, turning insight into lasting personal growth.

As a Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapist, I am continually inspired by the efficacy of this evidence based treatment in addressing depression, anxiety, and trauma.

I specialize in preparation, intention setting, and integration therapy sessions that help clients access their own inner healers, the intuitive strong resilient part of themselves. Through this process, I have witnessed profound progress—symptoms of depression and anxiety often quickly subside, and people gain cognitive flexibility that inspires positive change.

Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic that induces a dream-like state. Most people find the medicine to be a pleasurable 45 minute experience that is immersive and meaningful. Beyond the altered state, ketamine works biologically by increasing glutamate activity, which promotes neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to form new neural connections. This process allows for new emotional insight and adaptive thinking, paving the way for true transformation.

The medicine temporarily softens ego defenses and allows people to more easily address sensitive issues without becoming overwhelmed. Importantly, even when challenging material arises during a ketamine journey, these experiences often illuminate key themes or areas of focus for talk therapy sessions rather than constituting a “bad trip.”

Clients frequently achieve heightened self-awareness, the flexibility to reframe old narratives, and the clarity to release negative thought patterns. These breakthroughs lead to a renewed sense of confidence to embrace a healthier mindset.

At Keta Medical Center, we encourage clients to continue working with their primary therapists during treatment. Our shared goal is to ensure both clients and clinicians understand how to leverage ketamine’s efficacy, maximizing neuroplastic and insight oriented benefits.

The healing potential revealed through ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) mirrors a broader truth within social work practices: growth often arises through challenges. Regardless of the settings, the therapeutic process is a partnership in which clients are guided to reflect and transform—from rigidity to flexibility and from helplessness to hope.

Finding Growth Through Challenge

As social workers, our role with individuals and communities is often connected to periods of significant adversity,but we know that these stressors can also serve as catalysts for growth. Recognizing and facilitating healing requires intentional, empowerment-focused interventions and a conscious shift in perspective.

Traumatic experiences, relational conflict, economic hardship, discrimination, and lack of opportunity can all contribute to intense feelings of anger, sadness, and frustration. Clients may understandably get stuck in negative thought patterns and feel helpless when faced with obstacles that seem beyond their control.

In the therapeutic process, we validate difficult experiences and acknowledge painful emotions with compassionate support. But we don’t want to stay exclusively focused on outside factors that keep people trapped in a victim mentality. An essential part of healing is cultivating hope—hope that change is possible and goals are attainable.

In Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), neuroplasticity benefits give clients a heightened ability to identify self limiting beliefs and internalize healthier patterns, making the transformation from the inner critic to the inner coach more easily achieved.

Reclaiming the Circle of Influence

Encouraging clients to recognize areas where they have influence helps shift the focus from external limitations to internal agency and strength. Integration sessions after ketamine journeys help reinforce this shift, guiding clients to apply new insights into daily life.

As practitioners, we can help restore people’s sense of personal power by redirecting them to focus on ways they can have meaningful impact across various settings:

Political environments: One may not control policy, but can vote, organize, and educate.
Work environments: One may not end corruption, but can act with integrity and accountability.
Relationships: One may not change others, but can set boundaries and communicate needs assertively.
Personal growth: One may still be triggered, but can build awareness and respond with intention rather than reactivity.

These shifts align with the concept of an internal locus of control—the belief that one’s actions can make a difference. Optimism and a growth mindset are not fixed traits; they can be nurtured through reflection, connection, and taking tangible steps towards achievable goals.

An Attitude of Gratitude

Finding Inner Calm in Chaotic Times

In our technology-driven world, the constant influx of information heightens stress and amplifies anxiety for both social workers and the clients we serve. Intentional pauses—through mindfulness or digital boundaries—create space for calm and renewal.

Gratitude complements strengths-based and resilience-oriented practice. Like an internal locus of control, it fosters self-regulation and grounding. Gratitude does not ignore pain—it broadens awareness to include what nurtures and sustains us.

Gratitude also plays a powerful role in KAP. Clients often describe moments of profound love, awe, or connection during ketamine journeys—emotions that, when integrated, deepen appreciation for self and others.

Practicing gratitude reconnects us to purpose. Naming even one small thing that went right can reset perspective and strengthen the healing pathway created through neuroplasticity.

Social workers often experience gratitude in subtle but profound ways:

Witnessing a client’s courage and progress
Collaborating with colleagues who share a commitment to service ● Seeing advocacy efforts improve community well-being
Feeling a sense of purpose and alignment with social work values

By intentionally noticing moments of appreciation, we cultivate the same hope and resilience we strive to instill in others.

Simple grounding gratitude practices can include:

Feeling the warmth of the sun
Spending time in nature
Walking or exercising
Taking intentional, deep breaths
Meditating or practicing mindfulness
Listening to music or creating art
Playing with a pet
Laughing with a supportive friend

Whether through innovative treatments like ketamine, empowerment-based therapy, or daily gratitude practices, the goal remains the same: to nurture resilience, expand awareness, and help clients reconnect with their capacity to heal.

Together, as a community of dedicated social workers, we continue the mission driven and rewarding work of transforming pain into purpose—one client, one relationship, and one system at a time.

What Does Ketamine Therapy Feel Like?

Stacey Blume Frankel, LCSW — Wed, 27 May 2026 14:11:57 +0000

Ketamine, whether administered through IV or the Spravato nasal spray, induces a dream-like state that typically lasts about 45 minutes, but can vary in length. The effects vary from person to person, but are often described as surprisingly pleasant and a welcome break from mental noise. One patient recently shared that “it felt like a relaxing massage for my brain.”

Because ketamine creates a temporary dissociative state, patients often report significant emotional relief and an increased ability to let go of negative thinking patterns. This shift can help people get “unstuck”, feel more energized and create space for healthier perspectives.

Every session is unique, and each person’s healing journey unfolds in its own meaningful way. Some individuals describe feeling peaceful, expansive, or even euphoric, while others may encounter emotionally intense, unfamiliar, or disorienting sensations. These temporary shifts can all become valuable parts of the therapeutic process.

What patients commonly experience during a ketamine treatment

There is no single way to describe ketamine therapy. Every person’s treatment session is distinct and can feel different from the last.

While there is no “right” way to receive the medicine, we suggest utilizing the provided eyemask, headset, and music playlist for an immersive experience.

Many patients describe this inward journey as a floaty, calming feeling that may or may not include dissociation. Some patients report refreshing insight, emotional clarity, or a spiritual transcendence, while others may simply drift into a restful sleep.

Some common sensations may include:

Experience	What Patients Commonly Describe
Floating / Weightlessness	A profound sense of lightness, as if gently drifting or floating in an easy, relaxed state.
Sense of Calm	Emotional distance from stressful thoughts, physical decompression, pleasant heaviness in the limbs, tingling sensations, or a welcome release of tension and pain.
Sense of Connection	Experiences of wholeness, unity with people or nature, warmth, compassion, self-acceptance, or loving kindness.
Dissociation	A gentle sense of detachment from the body, surroundings, or habitual thought patterns; shifts in perception of reality.
Altered Perception of Time & Space	Time may feel slowed down, expanded, or unusually fast; feelings of spaciousness or expansiveness.
Vivid Imagery	Enhanced colors, geometric patterns, dream-like imagery, or perceptual shifts that may feel awe-inspiring.
Euphoric Relief	Quieting the mind, letting go of racing thoughts, stopping ruminations or constant mental noise; symptoms associated with depression or PTSD may fade and be replaced with optimistic joy or energizing revelations.
Emotionally Open	Reduced ego defenses that may allow easier access to memories, reflection, and vulnerability; more connection to authentic feelings in a non-threatening way, with softened anxiety, increased self-awareness, and deeper insight.

Is it normal to experience only one — or none — of these sensations?

Absolutely. Some patients experience vivid imagery, emotional breakthroughs, or profound shifts, while others just feel a muted relaxation. Some people remain highly aware throughout the session, while others describe a subtle calm that may even result in falling asleep. All of these responses are normal.

The intensity of the experience does not predict the treatment’s efficacy. Whether the ketamine journey feels impactful, mild or difficult to describe, the medicine is still working on a biological level. Ketamine promotes neuroplasticity — the formation of new neural pathways — regardless of what happens in the altered state. There is no “right” way to experience ketamine — each person’s healing is individualized.

What if difficult emotions arise during treatment?

There is no such thing as a “bad trip” in the traditional sense. Ketamine can open a doorway into the subconscious mind, bringing forward thoughts, emotions, or memories that may feel uncomfortable — not to cause harm, but to invite deeper awareness. When approached with curiosity and compassion, even difficult moments can offer meaningful insight and often signal an opportunity for growth.

Rather than becoming overwhelmed, many patients find they are able to revisit and observe challenges with a safe emotional distance. Experiences that once felt paralyzing may begin to lose their intensity, allowing core issues to be examined with more understanding and self compassion. New insight invites a reframing of self narratives, which can make them more manageable.

One patient shared, “It felt like I was watching a movie of my trauma, but rather than experiencing the pain and fear I have been crippled by, I saw it differently. It was like a tremendous weight lifted. It was amazing, and I feel transformed.”

What kind of support is connected to treatment?

At Keta Medical Center, patients are encouraged to embrace each treatment with curiosity rather than expectation, allowing the experience to unfold naturally by trusting the process and letting go.

Our doctors and nurses are on premises throughout the entire process – overseeing the treatment, monitoring vital signs and providing ongoing support. Patients can fully relax, knowing they are in a safe therapeutic setting.

If individuals feel anxious or apprehensive, our trained staff and patient liaisons are also always available on site at all of our locations to answer any questions and provide reassuring assistance.

Compassionate guidance for a healing mindset

The clinical team at Keta Medical Center is another resource and service available to help guide and empower patients. Every new patient has a preparation call with a professional licensed therapist to go over any concerns and learn more about the medicine.

Our therapists also provide integration sessions a day or two after the treatment. For many patients, Ketamine-assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) and integration work help transform challenging material into meaningful growth and lasting change.

What happens after a ketamine session?

Immediately after treatment, patients typically spend a short period resting in their treatment room while the acute effects of the medicine wear off. During this time, many people feel peaceful and reflective. Some patients enjoy journaling, listening to calming music, or a guided meditation as they transition back into their day. Patients are encouraged to stay hydrated, have a light snack, and give themselves permission to rest for the remainder of the day. Gentle, restorative activities such as relaxing at home, spending time in nature, or practicing other forms of self-care can be especially beneficial. Embracing feelings of self-acceptance and self-love are key.

Are there any side effects?

It is normal to experience temporary side effects such as fatigue, grogginess, dizziness, nausea, or brain fog. If any of these symptoms do occur, they are generally short-lived and typically resolve within a few hours. But because coordination and reaction time may be temporarily impaired, patients should arrange for someone to drive them home following treatment.

What is “integration”?

Many patients find that the most impactful effects of ketamine therapy are not limited to the treatment session itself, because significant improvements can emerge in the hours and days afterward. This process, known as integration, involves bringing insights from the experience into daily life in a conscious and intentional way.

Integration can happen naturally through reflection and supportive daily practices, but is often strengthened through therapy, journaling, and mindfulness. The goal is not only symptom relief, but identifying action steps towards goals. This is an essential part of translating ketamine therapy into lasting and sustainable healing.

Healing beyond the treatment sessions

Patients generally describe an overall improvement in mood, feeling lighter, and recognizing negative patterns that once kept them stuck. Many people notice they are less reactive — finding the ability to pause, respond more intentionally, and choose healthier thoughts and behaviors. This leads to greater self-awareness, emotional resilience, and renewed confidence. Others experience gradual changes over time, such as improved sleep, reduced anxiety, and a deeper sense of connection.

One patient summed it up quite beautifully:

“I still can’t believe how effective the medication and therapy have been for me. It already feels like this first month of ketamine treatment may end up being a real turning point- something I might look back on as a clear “before and after”. I feel so grateful for this support, getting me to a place where I could really take charge of my mental health. I know there is still work to do, but the path ahead feels so much brighter.”

Psycholytic vs. Psychedelic Ketamine Therapy

Stacey Blume Frankel, LCSW — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 17:00:13 +0000

It’s completely normal to feel uncertain when starting a new treatment—especially one that is innovative and may be unfamiliar. Many patients beginning ketamine therapy have questions about the different types of sessions available, particularly the distinction between psycholytic and psychedelic ketamine therapy.

While both approaches can support healing by enhancing neuroplasticity and emotional processing, they differ in dosage, structure, and therapeutic focus. Understanding these differences can help you feel more informed, empowered, and confident as you begin your ketamine treatment journey.

	Psycholytic Dosing	Keta Medical Center Psychedelic Dosing
Dose	Lower	Higher
Administration	Typically oral (lozenges or troches)	IV infusion or Spravato® (nasal spray)
Safety & Medical Oversight	A provider is required to prescribe but then there are no set regulations as to how and where the medicine is administered, increasing the risk of complications and misuse	Safety is a priority. Doctors and Nurses are on premises at Keta Medical Center offices, monitoring the patient’s vital signs and blood pressure- before, during and after medicine administration
Client Experience	Mildly altered state; client remains present, grounded, and communicative	Dream-like state of consciousness; inward focus and usually non verbal
Level of Awareness	Maintains awareness and ability to engage in conscious dialogue	Uses eye mask and music to enhance an immersive experience, reduced external awareness
KAP & Therapist’s Role	Therapist is active DURING the medicine session, may be guiding the conversation and emotional processing in real time	Therapist meets for therapy one or two days AFTER the medicine session for integration within the neuroplastic window

Psycholytic Ketamine Therapy

A psycholytic session takes place when a therapist is present in the room and actively engages throughout the experience. These sessions use low to moderate doses of ketamine, allowing the participant to remain aware, grounded, and able to communicate verbally.

In this gentler altered state, clients can participate in real-time talk therapy while under the influence of ketamine. Some Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapists administer oral lozenges or troches in their offices and then guide a traditional therapy session. The lowered dose helps soften psychological defenses—“psycholytic” literally means soul-loosening—making it easier to access and process difficult emotions, memories, and patterns within a familiar therapeutic framework.

Psychedelic Ketamine Therapy

A psychedelic ketamine session differs in both intensity and structure. At Keta Medical Center, ketamine is administered via IV infusion or Spravato (nasal spray)—both of which involve higher doses designed to induce a more introspective experience.

These sessions promote a dream-like altered state which may include vivid imagery, mystical experiences, and a deep inward “journey”. Eye masks and headphones to listen to the curated music playlists offered on our IPADs are utilized to enhance a more immersive journey.

During these ketamine treatments, doctors and nurses are always on-site and closely monitoring vitals throughout the process, but they do not interfere with or direct your internal experience. If the medical professionals interact at all—it is usually just to offer reassurance and safety rather than active dialogue.

Unlike psycholytic therapy, the primary therapeutic work occurs AFTER the ketamine treatment. Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) usually takes place one to two days after the medicine, allowing time for reflection and the emergence of meaningful insights that may arise during journaling.

Patients can then meet with one of our in-house therapists, either virtually or in person, for integration sessions that help make sense of their experience, explore challenging material, and translate insights into lasting emotional relief.

The Importance of Journaling

Ketamine helps people access their inner worlds, so quiet time for introspection is highly recommended.

Journaling your thoughts—whether in a stream-of-consciousness flow or by responding to guided prompts—can be a powerful way to capture aspects of the ketamine journey. You may experience a wide range of emotions, from love and gratitude to repressed memories, fears, or sadness. Some people have a transcendent type of mystical experience with feelings of wonder and awe. Writing can help you reflect in a meaningful way and continue to make sense of material that is surfacing. Journaling also offers a cathartic release, especially when paired with talk therapy.

Utilizing KAP for Integration

While ketamine medicine sessions can provide immediate emotional relief, the deeper work begins during integration as more clarity emerges. We encourage all patients to work with a trained professional (whether that is an existing outside provider or one of our own in house therapists) in order to help work through sensitive issues and achieve new perspectives.

Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) aides the healing process and may include:

Becoming More Self Aware
Processing Challenging Emotions
Releasing Negative Patterns
Identifying Self Limiting Beliefs
Replacing the Inner Critic with the Inner Coach
Reframing Old Narratives
Learning New Coping Strategies
Utilizing New Communication Skills
Shifting into Healthy Habits (sleep, meditation, exercise, nutrition)
Exploring Interests and Hobbies
Feeling More Confident
Embracing New Experiences of Joy
Allowing Happiness to Re-enter Your Life

Conclusion

Both psycholytic and psychedelic sessions can help people heal by forming new healthier thoughts and emotions. Each method supports trauma processing, emotional release and promotes greater self awareness—just at different levels of intensity. Understanding the similarities and differences of both approaches can help people feel more informed and empowered as they begin their ketamine treatment journey.

At Keta Medical Center, we utilize IV or Spravato to achieve desired outcomes of lasting emotional relief. Treatment plans are always individualized based on each patient’s history, needs, and goals. Our medical doctors and therapeutic teams work collaboratively to ensure your experience is safe, supported, and meaningful. Patients are encouraged to participate in KAP, ask questions, share feedback, and actively engage in the process to help ensure successful outcomes. With proper guidance and follow-through, ketamine therapy can be a powerful catalyst for positive change.

Coping with Holiday Depression: Relief, Renewal, and Hope

Stacey Blume Frankel, LCSW — Mon, 24 Nov 2025 21:40:53 +0000

For many, the holiday season is synonymous with joy and celebration. However, for a significant portion of the population, it can be an emotionally taxing time.

According to the American Psychological Association, 89% of U.S. adults report feeling overwhelmed by concerns such as financial strain, missing loved ones, or the stress of family conflicts during the holidays, and 43% of those polled feel that holiday-related stress interferes with their ability to enjoy the season.

Depression often spikes during the holidays because of social isolation or a sense of heightened responsibilities and burden. What’s more, the pervasive portrayal of perfect holiday celebrations in media and on social platforms sets unrealistic expectations, amplifying feelings of inadequacy or loneliness. The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) has found that 64% of individuals with a mental illness experience worsened symptoms during the holidays.

What causes depression during the holidays?

The holiday season is a time of joy for some, but for others – especially those already living with anxiety or depression – it can intensify emotional challenges. Stressors that may be manageable during other times of the year often feel amplified between November and January. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is one potential contributor. This form of depression is linked to reduced exposure to natural light during winter, which affects the brain’s chemistry, altering mood and sleep patterns. SAD is most common in northern climates, where shorter days and longer nights make the condition more pronounced.

But SAD isn’t the only factor at play. The holidays often bring added pressures that can weigh heavily on anyone.

Common triggers include:

Financial strain: The cost of gifts, travel, and hosting events can create financial stress that feels impossible to escape.
Social isolation: Loneliness can feel especially stark during the holidays when images of family gatherings and celebrations are everywhere. For those grieving the loss of a loved one, these feelings can be even more profound.
Anxiety about family gatherings: Tensions or unresolved conflicts within families often surface during holiday events, adding stress and emotional fatigue.
Unrealistic expectations: Media and social platforms often portray a picture-perfect holiday, creating pressure to meet impossible standards. This can leave people feeling like they’ve fallen short.
Substance abuse: Alcohol use frequently increases during the holidays, whether at celebrations or as a way to self-soothe. Unfortunately, excessive drinking can worsen symptoms of anxiety and depression in the long term.

Recognizing these triggers and understanding their impact are the first step to managing the season with greater ease and self-compassion.

Self-care is key for coping with holiday and post-holiday depression

Navigating the holidays with anxiety or depression can feel overwhelming, but there are steps you can take to protect your mental well-being and regain balance. Prioritizing self-care is key. Regular exercise, adequate sleep, and mindfulness practices can provide a buffer against the season’s stresses. Even small, consistent actions – like taking a walk or carving out quiet time – can improve your mood and energy.

It’s also vital to set realistic expectations. Let go of the pressure to create a perfect holiday and focus on what genuinely brings you joy, whether that’s spending time with loved ones, enjoying a cozy night in, or simply embracing moments of stillness. Remember, it’s about presence, not perfection. Feelings of isolation can deepen during the holidays, so make an effort to reach out for support. A conversation with a friend or family member can offer comfort, and volunteering is another way to connect with others while finding purpose. If you’re struggling with profound sadness or loneliness, don’t hesitate to seek guidance from a mental health professional – they can provide tools to help you deal with these emotions.

Finally, be mindful of how you use alcohol. While celebrations often involve drinking, excessive alcohol consumption can amplify depression and anxiety, leaving you feeling worse. By approaching the holidays with intention, you can create space for both healing and joy.

How ketamine therapy provides relief

For individuals with severe or treatment-resistant depression, ketamine therapy offers a safe and effective option, often providing rapid emotional relief. Unlike antidepressants that can take weeks to show results, ketamine works quickly by promoting the release of a neurotransmitter called glutamate, which improves mood and restores motivation and vitality. In addition, by fostering neuroplasticity, or the brain’s ability to “rewire,” ketamine can help patients break free from entrenched patterns of thought and emotion. This can make the New Year an ideal time to begin treatment, as ketamine therapy can boost the energy and clarity needed to set and achieve personal goals. Setting clear intentions before treatment can further unlock ketamine’s full therapeutic potential, helping patients focus on areas of growth, healing, and meaningful change.

At Keta Medical Center, ketamine therapy is tailored to meet each patient’s unique needs. Treatments are offered as either IV infusions or Spravato, a nasal spray. Both options are administered under the care of experienced medical professionals, ensuring safety and comfort throughout the process. Many patients report feeling a significant improvement in their symptoms within just hours to days of treatment.

Embrace the new year with renewed hope

If the holiday season leaves you feeling drained, know that you’re not alone and help is available. Keta Medical Center specializes in providing compassionate, effective care to those battling depression and anxiety. Together, we can work toward a brighter, more hopeful future.

From Triggers to Glimmers

Stacey Blume Frankel, LCSW — Fri, 14 Nov 2025 04:00:17 +0000

From Triggers to GLIMMERS: Rewiring Our Focus Toward Gratitude

If you're on a healing journey, you've likely become more familiar with your own triggers—those intense emotional signals pointing to something feeling wrong. Triggers can spark anxiety, fear, sadness or anger and in most cases these emotional or physiological responses are out of proportion to the actual circumstance. That’s because triggers are reactions to memories, situations or people connected to unresolved pain or trauma.

Instead of avoiding triggers, healing invites us to lean in, get curious, and explore what they are trying to reveal. Triggers may be uncomfortable but they can also be powerful teachers, especially when explored in Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy.

The goal isn’t just to react less—it’s to understand more.

Journaling helps get complicated feelings out of your head and onto the paper which inspires greater self-awareness. This leads to the ability to pause, stay grounded, and make more intentional choices. That’s the essence of healing: shifting from old reactive negative patterns into healthier coping strategies that build emotional resilience.

Make Space for JOY

Healing isn’t only about processing and transforming pain—it’s also about making space for joy.

You already know how to live with anxiety or depression. Now it’s time to exhale and allow happiness back in your life.

This is how glimmers can be an amazing tool. Glimmers are those subtle, uplifting moments that soothe your nervous system and restore a sense of safety and well-being.

Glimmers are the opposite of triggers. While triggers activate stress and send us into fight-or-flight mode, glimmers gently guide us back into a relaxed connected presence.

Glimmers remind us we can proactively ground ourselves and shift into feelings of comfort and happiness. And the best part, glimmers are always accessible if we just choose to notice them in our everyday surroundings:

Feeling the warmth of the sun
Noticing pretty flowers
Reading a book under a cozy blanket
Singing to your favorite song
Coloring or engaging in a creative project
Enjoying a sweet treat
Taking a walk in nature
Seeing the bright blue sky
Strolling an inspiring city street
Playing with a beloved pet
Laughing with a supportive friend

Ketamine and the Power of Positive Moments

Glimmers help regulate emotions by shifting us out of survival mode and into a calming sense of safety. During ketamine treatments, the brain becomes more receptive to change and the formation of new patterns, making it an ideal time to focus on positive moments that can amplify healing.

Ketamine rapidly reduces symptoms of depression, anxiety, and PTSD but it also has a unique capacity to break negative thought loops, helping people get unstuck by promoting new neural pathways. This is known as neuroplasticity, and it’s one of ketamine’s key benefits. This means that intentionally noticing glimmers during this fertile period of treatment can strengthen new, healthier thoughts and emotions.

Focusing on the positive is especially important during emotionally charged times like the holidays. Whether it’s navigating difficult family dynamics or feeling the absence of meaningful connection, this season can bring up grief, longing, or loneliness—making it a particularly vulnerable time.

That’s why cultivating an awareness of glimmers can be so transformative. Whether it’s a song, a sunset, or a shared laugh, these types of light nourishing moments help bring balance and restore a grounded sense of calm.

Gratitude Is a Practice

Gratitude is more than a feeling; it’s a practice. Like any practice, it takes conscious effort. It begins with choosing where to place your attention and being intentional about your thoughts and the habits you're cultivating. With consistency, what starts as deliberate becomes natural.

By tuning into glimmers (those small, uplifting moments) you begin to rewire your brain toward safety, and calm. So be mindful about what you see, hear, touch, taste, and smell. These everyday sensations are opportunities to anchor into the present and connect with gratitude.

Practicing gratitude isn’t about denying pain or pretending everything is perfect. It’s about making space for the good alongside the challenges in order to cultivate a more hopeful and resilient mindset.

Try This:

For one day, don’t journal about what went wrong. Instead, look for what went right.

Name 3 glimmers you noticed today.

They don’t need to be profound—the smaller, the better.
Let your body feel them for a few extra seconds.
And literally smile and say “Thank you.”

Try to make it a daily habit to notice the good. This simple shift in focus—towards an attitude of gratitude—can guide you towards personal growth and lasting emotional relief.

Start collecting GLIMMERS

And let those glimmers remind you that peace and joy are always within reach—you just have to train your mind to see them.

Journaling After Ketamine Therapy

Stacey Blume Frankel, LCSW — Tue, 09 Sep 2025 04:00:11 +0000

Journaling: a Powerful Tool for Integration

Helping You Process Your Ketamine Experience, One Prompt at a Time

Journaling can be a healthy, cathartic outlet that captures material from your ketamine journey. By recording specific details—whether emotional, physical, or visual—you can deepen your self-awareness and more easily notice changes over time.

At Keta Medical Center, ketamine is administered in controlled doses—either through Spravato nasal spray or intravenous (IV) infusion—under the care of experienced medical professionals. Throughout the treatment, our team of compassionate doctors and nurses are continuously monitoring your vital signs to ensure a supportive and safe environment.

These sessions often invite immersive and meaningful experiences but true transformation takes place through conscious reflection and intentional action. The practice of journaling gives a voice to your inner landscape which provides necessary direction for the therapeutic process. Regularly documenting thoughts and feelings that are surfacing is an essential part of successful integration. Evaluating the psychedelic medicine sessions, deriving insights and conscious forward steps towards goals can lead to lasting healing.

What You Might Feel During Ketamine Therapy

Ketamine affects everyone differently, and there's no way to predict exactly how you will respond but most people do find it pleasurable.

Some common physical sensations include tingling, numbness, or simple relaxation. Possible side effects may include nausea, blurred vision, impaired coordination, drowsiness, or elevated heart rate and blood pressure.

A common experience is dissociation—feeling disconnected from your body or surroundings—which is sometimes described as a calm and floaty kind of ‘trip’. Some people report more of a psychedelic impact—seeing colors, symbolic imagery, or receiving meaningful internal messages.

It’s important to understand: there are no “bad trips.” Challenging material that surfaces during a session often just highlights areas ready for healing. Ketamine softens the ego’s defenses, allowing you to explore sensitive issues without getting overwhelmed—making tools like journaling or psychotherapy more accessible and effective afterward.

Some individuals may feel so relaxed they fall asleep; others have subtle shifts in awareness and some report more intense vivid narratives. Like dreams, each experience is unique. Whether your journey feels profound or quiet, ketamine is still working, having a biological effect on the brain.

How Ketamine Therapy Works in the Brain: Neuroplasticity Explained

Regardless of the subjective experience in the chair, ketamine promotes healing at a biological level. It boosts glutamate, a key neurotransmitter that supports the formation of new neural pathways. This helps to "reset" brain circuits involved in depression, anxiety, PTSD, and chronic pain.

Importantly, you don't need to have a dissociative or psychedelic experience for ketamine to be effective. Even if sessions feel muted or uneventful, you can trust that meaningful changes are happening beneath the surface, promoting the ability to think new thoughts and feel new emotions.

Why Journaling Matters for Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)

Journaling thoughts and feelings serves as a helpful bridge between ketamine sessions and the practical application in daily life. The benefits of the medicine often unfold over time, so tracking how you feel hours, days, and weeks after a session can be more insightful than what happens during the treatment session itself.

Journaling can help you set meaningful intentions, identify and reflect on patterns, process emotions and make sense of emerging thoughts. Many patients achieve the flexibility to reframe old narratives, the clarity to release negativity and the confidence to more easily embrace a healthier mindset. These breakthroughs translate to positive change and sustainable well-being.

There's no right or wrong way to write. Some people prefer free-flowing, stream-of-consciousness entries, while others prefer more structure with guided prompts.

Below are some post-session reflection questions to support your integration process. Whether you’re new to journaling or looking for ways to gain more self awareness, this could be a good starting point to explore what resonates. The goal is simply to begin writing and see what’s present for you…

Initial Recall of the Ketamine Experience:

What is the first thing that comes to mind from the session? (even if it was mild or just relaxing that is a noteworthy aspect to record)
What did you see? (colors, people, places)
What did you hear? (music, specific sounds, messages, self talk)
What did you feel? (any physical sensations or emotions)

Further Reflection:

What emotion feels most accessible?
Is there any specific relationship or circumstance (past or present) that the emotion identified is connected to?
Any specific negative self-talk or self doubts come up? The voice of the inner critic?
Any feelings related to self love, self acceptance, or self forgiveness surface?
Any particular message or theme that is being communicated through this ketamine session?
Are there any new perspectives emerging?

Action & Integration:

Is there anything you’re ready to let go of or loosen your grip on? (a belief, fear, expectation, or emotional weight?)
What are you willing to be more curious about, even if it's not fully understood yet?
What do you want to invite more of into your life now?
What's one thing you want to approach differently this week? (identify a goal)
Is there a conversation, habit, or boundary you feel more ready to address?
What's one small step you could take this week to support your healing?

Every Reflection Counts

Journaling empowers individuals to take an active role in their mental health journey. It is an essential tool that helps you stay connected to your progress during ketamine treatments and track the medicine’s effectiveness over time.

Journaling also enhances the therapeutic process in Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy by helping to understand triggers, recognize patterns and develop healthier coping strategies. Whether you're uncovering deep insights or simply noting small shifts, every reflection is a valid step towards lasting emotional relief.

Directly After Ketamine Treatments

The first day after receiving IV or Spravato ketamine treatments, it’s essential to prioritize self-care. This includes ensuring adequate rest, staying hydrated, practicing mindful reflection, and engaging in activities that nurture your emotional well-being.
Gentle self care that feels relaxing or creative can help integrate the medicine in a positive way.

The effects of ketamine vary from person to person and may differ with each session. Some people experience fatigue, while others may feel energized. It’s important to honor your individual needs and adjust accordingly after each treatment. If you are tired, then make sure to get adequate sleep and reduce exercise to simple activities like walking or spending time in nature. Remember, transformation is a process—patience is key. Create mental and physical space to integrate your experience and proactively take advantage of neuroplasticity.

Journaling:

Ketamine helps people access their inner worlds, so quiet time for introspection is highly recommended. Journaling your thoughts—whether in a stream-of-consciousness flow or by responding to guided prompts—can be a powerful way to capture aspects of the ketamine journey. You may experience a wide range of emotions, from love and gratitude to repressed memories, fears, or sadness. Some people have a transcendent type of mystical experience with feelings of wonder and awe. Writing can help you reflect in a meaningful way and continue to make sense of material that is surfacing. Journaling also offers a cathartic release, especially when paired with talk therapy.

During the Integration Phase of Ketamine Treatments

Gain Clarity:

While ketamine can provide immediate emotional relief, the deeper work begins during integration as more clarity emerges. Working with a trained professional therapist can help you process sensitive issues and achieve new perspectives.

Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy aides the healing process and may include:

Becoming More Self Aware
Processing Challenging Emotions
Releasing Negative Patterns
Identifying Self Limiting Beliefs
Replacing the Inner Critic with the Inner Coach
Reframing Old Narratives
Learning New Coping Strategies
Utilizing New Communication Skills
Shifting into Healthy Habits (sleep, meditation, exercise, nutrition)
Exploring Interests and Hobbies
Feeling More Confident
Embracing New Experiences of Joy
Allowing Happiness to Re-enter Your Life

Identify Goals:

As depression or anxiety begins to lift, you may start to feel a renewed sense of hope and motivation for the future. What once felt overwhelming and stagnant can gradually transform. Ketamine can help unlock profound insights and spark a newfound drive to directly address struggles and take intentional action.

The “Holistic Happiness Circle” was designed to illustrate the interconnectedness of 8 key areas of your life—emotional, social, spiritual, mental, physical, environmental, financial, occupational.

Take some time to reflect on this overview of your well-being, and as you read through each section, notice which areas feel balanced and which may need more attention.

Emotional:

Cultivate self-love, self-acceptance, and self-forgiveness. Challenge negative thoughts, Utilize positive affirmations, Develop effective coping strategies, Nurture satisfying relationships (family, spouses, partners, children, friends, colleagues)

Social:

Deepen existing positive connections, Build a strong supportive trusted network, Establish healthy boundaries with more triggering relationships, Enhance communication skills, Engage in community events, Get out of comfort zone and Embrace adventure

Spiritual:

Explore a sense of purpose, Give back through altruism, Volunteer, Incorporate meaningful routines or rituals (such as meditation, prayer, or time in nature), Practice gratitude, and Foster HOPE.

Mental:

Engage in cognitive stimulation, discover and pursue passions, expand knowledge and skills, and tap into creative potential (through art, music, cooking, writing, reading etc.).

Physical:

Recognize the importance of maintaining healthy routines in exercise, nutrition, and sleep for overall well-being. Continue with prescribed medications and stay connected to medical providers for ongoing care

Environmental:

Create spaces that reflect a calm, balanced inner world—keeping surroundings clean, organized, and stimulating (such as your home, car, office, or garden) to promote well-being.

Financial:

Build a healthier relationship with money, budget effectively, and work toward long-term financial stability and goals.

Occupational:

Find personal fulfillment in work, build confidence in career decisions, overcome self-doubt, set clear objectives, and pursue growth opportunities.

By setting specific goals for each aspect of your life, you can strengthen your sense of self and personal development. As you focus on the 8 different domains, consider actionable steps you can take towards creating a healthier mindset and positive change.

During the Maintenance Phase of Ketamine Treatments

Ketamine maintenance with booster sessions is a regular part of continued care for most people but the cadence of these appointments is individualized and best to be discussed with your doctor.

At Keta Medical Center most of our patients continue to come once every 4 weeks for IV boosters or every 1-2 weeks for Spravato maintenance sessions.

Keeping up with outside care providers for continuity of care is also important- take prescribed medications as directed by your physician and schedule medical and psychotherapy appointments as needed.

Take Action:

The “Holistic Happiness Circle” offers a comprehensive framework for evaluating your current situation and identifying where growth is possible.

Change is a process with different stages, so don’t feel overwhelmed or discouraged—progress is made gradually over time. Recognizing areas for improvement is a powerful first action step for fostering resilience and achieving optimal health and happiness. So please celebrate your commitment to this process—simply being on this path is an achievement in itself.

Music Matters: The Power of Sounds for an Immersive Ketamine Journey

Stacey Blume Frankel, LCSW — Mon, 10 Mar 2025 12:53:24 +0000

Selecting the right music can help enhance the dissociative and introspective effects of ketamine, allowing for a deeper, more therapeutic experience. Focusing on music without any lyrics can also help promote a sense of ‘letting go’ and allow you to be guided into a relaxing state as you drift off.

If you are having trouble surrendering to the medicine and shutting off internal chatter, that is okay. It is normal to need some time to shift into a calmer mindset and that is why the music is there. The music is providing another point of focus that acts as guardrails for an immersive journey.

Music provides structure and continuity that helps you navigate the altered state more comfortably. Embracing the effects of the soft repetitive melodies and expansive sounds can be an extremely effective way to move through ketamine’s heightened awareness.

Overall, music provides a sense of support during this potentially transformative and profound treatment. We recommend tunes that have no words so patients are not unnecessarily distracted. Binaural beats, ambient soundscapes, classical music, and earthy nature sounds are popular choices for ketamine journeys.

We have curated MUSIC playlists to choose from on a provided iPad at the Keta Medical Center offices.

Can I Bring My Own Playlist?

Patients can bring their own playlists, but we strongly discourage it. We don’t want you to be influenced by any lyrics and we don’t want you to try to control the auditory part of the journey for a handful of reasons:

Music can carry powerful associations, often tied to specific times, experiences, or people in our lives. These prior memories should be avoided, as they may not be relevant to the healing process. Ketamine treatments are designed to foster neuroplasticity, creating expansive shifts with new thoughts and new emotional responses. Music plays a key role in guiding this transformation into uncharted new territories, which is why we recommend selecting from our curated playlists on the provided iPad. This ensures that the music is free from prior associations and eliminates any sounds or words that could influence your experience.

What About Guided Meditation ?

Speaking of “words,” the iPad in Keta Medical Center’s office also offers guided meditations with positive affirmations such as “I am loved,” “I am safe,” “I am enough,” and “I am limitless.” These affirmations are powerful tools for rewiring the brain. However, if any of these themes resonate with you, we suggest listening to them AFTER your ketamine journey, during the relaxation phase, once the effects of the medicine have worn off. The intended effects of the Ketamine’s altered state of consciousness is meant to help get you in touch with YOUR OWN words–your own inner voice with healing messages.

Ketamine’s dissociative effects allow you to more easily connect with your inner healer—your subconscious mind. This is the intuitive part of yourself that holds wisdom you need for healing. By accessing this deep inner space of your own thoughts, you tap into your innate ability to heal, strengthening your intuition over time. As this inner voice becomes a trusted guide, it will lead you with increasing clarity and confidence.

Using our curated, word-free music playlists during ketamine treatments provides a better overall experience to navigate your inner landscape. Music can help reduce anxiety, promote neuroplasticity, and facilitate the emergence of your inner healer. We encourage journaling after ketamine to capture the experience and record your thoughts. Hopefully the music significantly contributes to an expansive journey that inspires deeper insights and meaning for more internalized and lasting healing.

Scientific Research about Music’s role in KAP

This study reaffirms that music is not just a therapeutic aid—it is a participant in the journey. One of the key findings from this research is that the sounds of a psychedelic medicine journey become an internally generated, multisensory experience. Subjects reported feeling immersed in the music that was actively offering emotional insight, guidance or collaboration within the therapeutic process.

At Keta Medical Center, we provide IPADS with carefully curated non lyrical playlist options in order to support the profound interaction between sound and psyche—allowing your inner healing intelligence to lead the way.

Support for Ketamine Treatment: A Guide for Family and Friends

Stacey Blume Frankel, LCSW — Tue, 25 Feb 2025 08:44:12 +0000

It’s common for family and friends to have limited knowledge about how ketamine is used to address mental health issues. As a ketamine assisted psychotherapist, I’ve written this article to provide guidance for supporting your loved one through their treatment process.

Ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic that helps patients enter a dream-like state, allowing them to connect with their ‘inner healer’ and activate the brain’s ability to ‘rewire’ which is known as neuroplasticity. This opens the door for valuable insights and deep emotional healing from mental health struggles like depression, anxiety, and PTSD. For further information about how ketamine works, please check out Keta Medical Center’s blog which offers more in-depth articles.

Post-Ketamine Session Care

Immediately after a ketamine session, patients may feel groggy or experience mild physical and mental impairment. They may need assistance with walking, as well as help getting in and out of cars or public transportation while they take time to reorient themselves. Family members and friends are welcome to accompany the patient to our offices. Most people sit and wait in our comfortable lobbies until the ketamine session ends but if the patient prefers to have a familiar face in the treatment room for additional support- that is perfectly fine.

If you are in regular contact with someone undergoing this treatment, please be aware that they may be in a more vulnerable state as they explore unresolved issues. Some patients may be extremely tired after treatment while others may feel a surge of energy. Some may experience immediate emotional relief or a type of spiritual transcendence that fosters a sense of inner peace. Others may respond differently and uncover darker thoughts or repressed memories related to trauma. Please be aware that more challenging intense reactions should still be considered a beneficial aspect of the healing process.

Encouraging Healing Through Challenges

We encourage patients to lean in to any and all material coming up because there is no such thing as a ‘bad trip’. The medicine loosens ego defenses and allows people to more easily access sensitive issues without getting overwhelmed. The subconscious mind will only reveal what the patient is ready to see so triggering experiences are actually a positive sign that the medicine is working. It is just highlighting the most pressing issues to talk about in therapy. Therefore, patients should approach the medicine with an open and curious mindset that enhances the treatment’s effectiveness.

Each person’s experience in the altered state is unique, and responses can vary from session to session. But everyone can be assured that our medically supervised offices are safe settings to just ‘let go’ and trust the process.

How to Offer Your Loved One Support

It is important to follow the patient’s cues and offer support in a gentle and respectful manner. They may or may not feel like talking, eating, or sleeping, and the best approach is to honor their needs without pressuring them.

If they do want to share about the altered state of the ketamine journey, you can play a major role with active listening. You don’t need to problem solve or offer advice, just being present to listen will help them navigate the post-session experience.

Simple reflective, compassionate and reassuring phrases can be incredibly comforting.

“Sounds like that was a really impactful experience”
“I’m here for you in whatever ways you need me to be”
“You’re in a safe place” or “You are loved and appreciated”
“I’m proud of you for taking such courageous steps in your healing journey”
“Is there anything I can do to better support you during this time?”

It’s also important to remember that ketamine helps patients access their inner world, and they may appreciate time for quiet introspection and journaling. In that case, it’s best to respect boundaries and avoid conflict. Be mindful not to initiate tense conversation topics and do your best to help create a calm atmosphere.

Please realize that being a trusted and supportive sounding board is an extremely vital role but it is different from the responsibilities of a professionally trained therapist. Hopefully your loved one has an existing relationship with a mental health provider who they can have an appointment with a day or two after their ketamine treatment. If not, they are welcome to utilize our services for integration KAP sessions.

Encourage Self-Care

In the hours following a session, encourage your loved one to engage in any kind of gentle, self-care that brings them joy. Relaxing or creative activities- such as art, music, cooking, time in nature, reading, or simply resting – can help them integrate the experience in a positive way. Journaling is also an excellent action step to capture significant aspects of the ketamine journey.

Patients should avoid overstimulation (such as returning to work, attending parties or drinking alcohol), and unnecessary distractions (like excess TV watching or scrolling on social media). During this neuroplastic window, it is important to foster feelings of self-love, compassion, and kindness which will help maximize the benefits.

In the Days/Weeks Following Ketamine Treatment

Navigating Change in Close Relationships

The individual has chosen ketamine treatments because they are seeking emotional relief and meaningful change. While we all want positive transformation for those we care about, unexpected interactions can evoke mixed emotions. It is important to allow your loved one the space to freely express their thoughts and feelings without judgement.

Healing takes time but as the patient’s depression lifts or anxiety dissipates, they may no longer require the same level of support. Evolving with more insight and a new independent way of being can create shifting relationship dynamics that may feel unsettling. It is normal for transitional times to be uncomfortable so just try and be patient with the adjustment period. Ideally, you are able to trust the process with compassion and optimism, allowing new ways of being to unfold in a safe and respectful way.

Big Change is the Goal

Patients may have come to treatment feeling stuck and in time ketamine can help unlock powerful realizations, giving individuals a renewed motivation to directly address struggles. Patients often achieve greater self awareness, the flexibility to reframe old narratives, the clarity to release negative thoughts patterns and the confidence to more easily embrace a healthier mindset. These breakthroughs translate to positive change- which is an opportunity for friends and family members to be supportive and celebrate the participant’s progress.

What’s the Bottom Line?

Ketamine treatments can significantly accelerate personal growth by stimulating shifts towards a healthier, more empowered mindset. The neuroplastic power of ketamine invokes profound insights with new thoughts, new feelings, and new behaviors that make deep transformation possible. Although the healing process may present challenges, it can ultimately lead to lasting emotional relief for the patient—and a ripple effect of positivity for those who love and support them.

Ketamine Treatment: In partnership with Mental Health Providers

Stacey Blume Frankel, LCSW — Tue, 28 Jan 2025 09:29:51 +0000

Keta Medical Center provides medically supervised ketamine treatments for people struggling with a variety of mental health issues such as depression, anxiety and PTSD.

We fully respect how psychotherapy plays an integral role in a patient’s mental health journey and therefore always encourage existing outside therapists to continue working with their clients while they are receiving treatment. We want our mental health referral partners to feel confident and informed about our process and how ketamine works.

How Does Ketamine Work?

Ketamine (whether IV infusions or Spravato nasal spray) is a dissociative anesthetic that induces a dream-like state and offers rapid relief. It works by promoting neuroplasticity in the brain, helping to create new neural pathways which often has a profound effect on the therapeutic relationship, enhancing the work between patient and therapist.

The medicine loosens ego defenses and allows people to more easily address sensitive issues without getting overwhelmed. There is no such thing as a ‘bad trip’, if difficult material emerges during a ketamine journey, it is simply highlighting specific areas that may benefit from deeper exploration in talk therapy sessions.

Patients often achieve greater self awareness, the flexibility to reframe old narratives, and the clarity to release negative thought patterns. These insights, along with a renewed sense of confidence, allow for a healthier mindset to take root. Ultimately, these breakthroughs can significantly strengthen the therapeutic relationship and lead to lasting positive change.
