Ketamine Therapy for Stress
Sometimes the grind of daily life is eats away at our physical and mental well being and we may not even realize it.
The upcoming deadlines, that awful commute, getting the kids fed and to school on time, skipping the gym and feeling judged for it, shoving fast food down because you don’t have the time, a global pandemic. These are just a few of the common things that bring stress into your life. It is not always easy to ensure you are properly taking care of yourself and often you may not even realize that our routines are slowly taking away what it means to be alive.
Stress can take your ability to look forward to your favorite things and diminish your gratitude for things you worked so hard for and actually achieved. Often we fall into the routines of eat, work, sleep, repeat and forget to take a look at who we have become and what type of life we want to live.
Have you been putting so much care into others happiness and well-being that you don’t even recognize or remember what it is to make yourself happy?
Stress is a normal part of life, but not being able to manage stress properly can affect our emotions, body, and how we behave in many different ways. We all know that eating well, sleeping an appropriate amount, exercising and spending time with friends and family are ways to reduce stress. But what if you are unable to get out of your own thoughts and find peace and happiness in those places of relief? You may already have a diagnosed mental health condition, or maybe the constant stimulation of our modern daily lives is stressing you out so much you are just existing rather than living.

Learn more about the ketamine, ketamine therapy and how it can help you live your best life.
A simple ketamine infusion can help break you of that negative routine, those negative thoughts and feelings, and give a glimmer of insight into yourself and show you what you have been missing. Maybe what has been missing all along has been right in front of you. Maybe you just needed some perspective on how well you are living your life, or maybe your stress isn’t letting you recognize the appreciation your family has for you, or the appreciation you should have for your own successes.
Mental health treatments and wellness care is not always about treating what has gone wrong. Often, mental health care is most useful as a preventative measure to give perspective on life, its difficulties, and the beauty it holds. Ketamine treatments allow you to have perspective on yourself and give clarity to what is happening in your life. The introspective state that ketamine induces allows you to fully view your life free of the worries that come with having to “live up to expectations” put on by work, society, and yourself. This relaxing, introspective, and transformative experience can allow you to practice gratitude, feel relief, put your worries in perspective, and find an inspirational place within yourself you may not have recognized for far too long.
When plagued by chronic stress, the body stores the stress hormones that are meant to keep up on our toes, engaged with what needs to be done, and back to our ancestors, keep up alive. The day to day lives we lead can cause a build up of these hormones that can lead to anxiety, depression, and other physical ailments.
Yes! Ketamine is considered a World Health Organization (WHO) essential medicine and is one of the most commonly used anesthetics in the world because of its safety.
Once in this relaxing environment, safe from all the daily worries and stresses, you can have a deep and meaningful conversation with yourself about what it is you miss most about being YOU, and you can set positive intentions during your session on how to integrate your thoughts to being a better version of yourself. Many people get ketamine infusions simply to practice gratitude, to recognize what they have done well in their lives, who has helped them get to where they are, or see where they can improve on their self-care. Many more experience ketamine simply to enrich their thinking, the medicine actives parts of the brain that have laid dormant or uninterested in growth. Being “stuck in a rut” is a common place to start when beginning your treatment process. But with some positive intention setting, your experience can be filled with epiphanies with will bring you closer to your best self.
To achieve the highest levels of benefit, our patients complete treatment based on specific guidelines established by researchers, approved by our Medical Director and tested over years of treatment. Your individual needs, symptoms, and goals of care will be addressed to determine your course of treatment.
