Is There Potential for Emotional Discomfort During Treatment?

There can be. While ketamine often leads to positive emotional experiences, it may also bring up challenging emotions or past memories. These experiences are not uncommon and can be an important part of the therapeutic process. With the support of a trained therapist, clients can safely process difficult emotions and begin to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, or trauma over time. Emotional discomfort can be a sign that meaningful work is underway.
