Welcome back to Ketamine Connections! I’m your host, Anna Krishtal, and I’m thrilled to bring you this deeply insightful episode with Jamie Dirks, a psychiatric nurse practitioner and co-owner of Thrive Health Consultants. With over 20 years in mental health care, Jamie has dedicated his practice to ketamine-assisted therapy, bringing a holistic, trauma-informed approach to healing. Today, Jamie shares profound insights into the power of ketamine therapy, focusing on trauma recovery and mental wellness.

In our conversation, we explore how slowing down can be the key to lasting change. Jamie shares how the message to "slow down" transformed his life and continues to guide him through his work, both personally and professionally. We discuss how this mindset plays a crucial role in the integration process, where the real work begins — it's not just about the psychedelic experience, but what happens after.

In This Episode, You’ll Hear:

• Jamie’s transformative moment of realizing the importance of slowing down and how it has influenced his approach to healing — both for himself and his clients.
• Why integration is so essential in psychedelic therapy, and how it turns short-term breakthroughs into lifelong transformations.
• Insights into how ketamine therapy is offering relief to individuals dealing with trauma, anxiety, and mental health struggles that have been resistant to traditional treatments.
• The power of trust in yourself, the medicine, and the process — and how slowing down helps cultivate trust, patience, and clarity.

This episode is a reminder that healing is not a race. The integration process, where we bring the lessons learned during psychedelic experiences into our everyday lives, takes time. As Jamie wisely says, the integration is ongoing, and sometimes it can take years for the full impact of a session to be felt.
