What happens when your ketamine provider has walked the same healing path you’re on? In this warm and eye-opening episode of Ketamine Connections, Anna speaks with Dr. Evan Husted—an emergency physician turned ketamine practitioner who combines deep clinical experience with personal insight into the psychedelic healing process.

They explore how lived experience shapes provider care, why preparation and integration are just as vital as the ketamine itself, and how anxiety and control often intersect in psychedelic journeys. From differentiating dosing styles to building therapeutic support beyond the medicine, this episode is rich with grounded wisdom and practical encouragement.

If you’ve ever wondered what real support in the ketamine space can look like—or what healing with integrity feels like—you’ll want to listen in.

  • How anxiety and control show up in ketamine work
