57. How Ketamine Integration Therapy Transforms Healing After Divorce, Depression & Dependency

In this final episode of the season, April Pride brings us deep into the essential, often overlooked third phase of psychedelic treatment: ketamine integration therapy. After a powerful ketamine experience—whether at home or in-clinic—the real transformation begins in how we process, practice, and reframe what arises. With insight from Dr. Bridget Carnahan and integration coach Natasha Lannerd, this episode is your guide to building new neural pathways, breaking addictive loops, and moving through midlife transitions with curiosity and self-trust. Expect a grounded, practical conversation designed for women navigating life after loss, stuckness, or burnout. This one’s meant to be saved and shared.

🔵 Key Takeaways

-Integration—not the trip itself—is where healing takes root. What you do in the days and weeks after ketamine shapes your long-term outcomes.

-The ‘golden hour’ after ketamine is a dreamlike state—ideal for journaling and gentle reflection.

-Low-dose at-home ketamine still offers major neuroplasticity benefits, especially when paired with new habits.

-Practices like meditation, breathwork, and movement enhance the brain’s openness post-treatment.

-Curiosity, not control, is the key to healing. Cultivating the inner witness helps shift patterns and builds trust in the process.
