And all of a sudden, then the husband would be like, every time she's coming back from ketamine therapy, she's cycling on all of these things that she's remembering.

You already know where I'm going to go with this.

And she's blaming me for this and she's blaming me for that.

And Busy, I don't know what to tell you, but I don't think these things actually happened.

I don't either.

Many people that go into ketamine therapy, they are, unfortunately, and I realize a lot of this has to do with the practitioner and perhaps she had a bad practitioner.

It is dangerous to assume that anything that's coming forward when you are in a drug-induced state is automatically truth.

And I know we talked about this in the episode about shadow work and parts work.

It is a slippery slope to automatically try to integrate something that you air quotes remember and fit it into your identity.

And now, even worse, go like berate your husband about something that you air quotes remember during ketamine therapy.

I think a clinician or a practitioner should have likely given them a disclaimer like, hey, just because things are coming up in ketamine therapy doesn't mean that they're objectively true.

Why don't we take note of these things, go back to them, see what ends up fitting, what holds, etc.

But to have a client immediately leave a, you know, ketamine drip session and buy into every single thing that she saw, that is

dangerous.

And it's also clinically wrong.

Like, I don't understand how any clinician wouldn't have prevented that before it even happened.

And this goes to once you start to normalize and push something.

Now, I mean, thankfully, I haven't actually seen it as much on Facebook feed lately, but there was a couple year period there, roughly like 2022 to 2024, where ketamine therapy was all over Facebook.

I really hope that they actually...

buckled down and are limiting the ads that can run for ketamine therapy, and that's why I don't see it anymore.
