In this eye-opening episode of Healthcare Hangover, we explore the powerful, emerging world of ketamine-assisted therapy. Inspired by the Netflix documentary How to Change Your Mind, the conversation kicks off with personal stories of overcoming anxiety and panic attacks, shedding light on the emotional breakthroughs that ketamine therapy can unlock.

Our hosts dive deep into their transformative experiences, uncovering childhood traumas and family dynamics that have redefined their adult relationships. It’s a raw and revealing discussion that brings to life the potential of this cutting-edge treatment.

We also cover the nuts and bolts: what to expect in future sessions, why combining ketamine with psychotherapy is crucial, the cost of treatment, and how to find reputable providers. Plus, we offer some practical next steps, like exploring Enthea for referrals and reviewing your health plan for possible coverage.

QUOTES:

• “And actually, it's. It's been interesting being a child of abuse because in some ways it's given me this. This resilience that I don't think I would have had in any other sort of upbringing. But I talked about this a couple years ago at the women's leadership summit, that sometimes having this type of resilience can be really toxic.” -Emma Fox
• “I think everybody has trauma and I know I do, although I didn't really recognize it until I was 46, 47 years old. It was pretty recently, but I'm now seeing how deep it actually has affected me in a negative way for my whole adult life, young adult and current.” -David Contorno
• “So seeing that with some level of objectivity or some removal from the situation, even though it was my situation, has been very helpful in sort of processing it, which, I guess is the point, right?” -Emma Fox
