This week I sit down with Dr. David Mahjoubi. We discuss his journey through opening the Ketamine Clinics of LA & OC & my personal experience with him as my doctor. I have been seeing Dr. Mahjoubi for treatment in the space of PTSD & wanted to wait until I finished my sessions to discuss how it worked for me, personally, & the true impact ketamine therapy can have on PTSD/depression & more. As far as my experience; This really helped me, genuinely. Other treatments have helped my PTSD here or there but not as long term. It's so crazy how each treatment is unique to the patient, mine was very inner child focused.   Dr. Mahjoubi sees around an 80 percent success rate in his patients with anxiety, 85 percent for depression and 90 percent with PTSD. I am so honored to have Dr. David on & furthermore; Dr. David has agreed to partner with STS foundation to try and get more patients in to see him in surrounding areas as this treatment is costly as insurance doesn't cover it. I know how many people he can and will help with his wisdom.    About Dr. Mahjoubi: Dr. David Mahjoubi, MD is a board-certified Anesthesiologist and one of the most sought-after experts in Ketamine treatments for anxiety, PTSD, Major Depression, Chronic Pain and Alcoholism. His practice, Ketamine Healing Clinic of Los Angeles, is one of the first Ketamine-only treatment centers in the country. A native Angeleno, he spent a great deal of time volunteering at local hospitals throughout high school and his undergraduate studies, which inspired his passion to pursue medicine.   In 2005, Dr. Mahjoubi earned his Doctor of Medicine at The Chicago Medical School and went on to complete his residencies at the UCLA Ronald Reagan Medical Center and Los Angeles County+USC Medical Center. He first learned of the benefits of intravenous Ketamine during his residency at County/USC in 2006, where it was primarily used for pain management and pediatric anesthesia.   Following his residency, Dr. Mahjoubi joined the Anesthesia Group at Northridge Hospital Medical Center, in Calif, where he was the most active user of IV Ketamine for both conscious sedation and general anesthesia procedures. He went on to work at various surgical centers throughout Southern California and became increasingly aware of the beneficial mental health effects in many patients following their procedures.   Dr. Mahjoubi opened Ketamine Healing Clinic of Los Angeles in 2014 to offer superior care and support for patients struggling with Anxiety, Major Depression, Chronic Pain, PTSD and Alcoholism.  Today, with a second office in Orange County and virtual visits, he provides highly effective solutions through IV infusions and at-home therapies, for those struggling with treatment-resistant depression and chronic pain, nationwide.   Dr. Mahjoubi currently serves as the president of the American Board of Ketamine Physicians (ABKP), which is a non-profit organization dedicated to lifelong learning as well as advancing scientific literature with regards to ketamine treatments. He is a published author of medical journals and lecturer as well as the recipient of numerous awards and honors including being recognized as a “Top Doctor – Best Anesthesiologist” by Los Angeles Magazine multiple years in a row.

Hello Everyone!! Welcome back to Shame to Sparkle. After a long hiatus we are back with season 2 discussing one of my favorite topics: Inner Child Work.

We are discussing with Barlas Günay. Barlas is a Psychologist who has an expertise in so many topics; he also leads mindfulness & mediation & is an expert in reparenting your inner child. We discuss our inner child and the importance of validating the “little you” we all have within us.

We deserve to feel seen, safe & validated. We also discuss attachment styles; mine being “anxious attachment,” and some of the truths surrounding them. Barlas explains the “recency affect,” via psychology as the belief built on we are only as good as our most recent interaction with someone. We briefly touch on codependency & the relation to awareness. He discusses profoundly how awareness can lead to conscious action when it comes to our pain cycles & the ability to tap into self-reparenting.
