#6: My First Ketamine Journey: Audio Diary of Ketamine Assisted Therapy Training Experience at Menla

Send us Fan MailJoin me as I share an audio diary of my first encounter with Ketamine, which is a legal psychedelic medication  that can treat depression, trauma and more.  Set  in the serene Menla retreat center of the Catskill Mountains, this episode describes my participation in a week-long  training program designed to teach mental health clinicians how to utilize the healing power of Ketamine.  During this immersive experiential training, I become increasingly connected with a team of peers, as we guide each other's Ketamine journeys and learn from a team of expert clinicians led by Dr. Phil Wolfson, Bessel Van der Kolk, Gita Vaid, Licia Sky and Peter Corbett.   This episode may be especially interesting to mental health clinicians who are curious about what it is like to participate in an immersive experiential Ketamine training program.Timestamps0:16 - Psychedelic Journey: Welcome to my Audio Diary11:56 - Tuesday: My First Morning at Menla KAP training, History of Menla15:00 - Wednesday: Pearls From Our First Full Day21:39 - Power of Ketamine and Group Dynamics24:47 - Thursday: My First Ketamine Journey, Bessel's Teaching About Trauma and DMN36:00 - Friday: Sitting for Others43:08 - Saturday: My 2nd Journey - IM this time, Combining Breath, Movement and Ketamine52:00 - Sunday: Sitting a 2nd Time, A Swim with Naga Spirit55:21 - Meaning and Connection Through Ketamine JourneysProduced by Dirk Winter and Violet ChernoffMusic by The Thrashing Skumz
