Setting an intention is often talked about as the most important part of a ketamine journey, and yet very few people are taught how to do it in a way that actually works with the subconscious mind.

In this episode, Anna breaks down three common ways people unknowingly set your ketamine intentions up for failure, and how these mistakes can lead to frustration, disappointment, or the belief that “ketamine isn’t working.”

Drawing from her own early psychedelic experiences, and years of working with ketamine clients, Anna explains why intention is meant to function as a North Star, not a rigid outcome or a test you pass or fail.

You’ll learn:

• Why vague, directionless intentions often lead nowhere
• How outcome-focused intentions quietly sabotage the process
• Why getting upset when sessions don’t go “as planned” is usually a sign that ketamine is working
• How intention supports you through discomfort, agitation, and the messy middle of transformation
• What makes an intention subconsciously sound versus ego-driven

If you’re preparing for ketamine, already in a protocol, or reflecting back on sessions that didn’t unfold the way you expected, this episode will help you re-orient toward the process, and use intention the way it’s meant to be used.
