🌟 Introduction & Preparing for the Journey 🌟

Hey there, everyone! I’ve got something truly special to share with you today. Picture this: It’s a laid-back Saturday afternoon, and I’m at the Ketamine Lounge in the heart of Miami Beach. Today marks a significant step in my personal healing journey — my very first experience with ketamine therapy.

👩‍⚕️ Step One: Vital Signs and Preparation 👩‍⚕️

Before diving into this, there are a few essential steps. First things first, the team here checked my vitals (I feel like a pro at this point), and I took an anti-nausea pill called Zofran. Apparently, nausea is a side effect that can pop up during the session. But hey, it’s all part of the process, right?

So, why ketamine therapy, you ask? 🤔 Well, you guys know I’ve had some pretty deep experiences with plant medicine and psychedelics, but ketamine is a new chapter for me. The studies behind it are groundbreaking, showing benefits for anxiety, depression, and even addiction. Given my personal history with addiction, coupled with anxiety and depression, I’m curious to see what healing will come from this.

🎨 The Vibe Inside the Lounge 🎨

Let me tell you — this isn’t your average doctor’s office. The energy in this place is something else! When I say vibe, I mean it. The lighting is soft, the room feels like a retreat rather than a clinic, and there’s a chalkboard here where patients leave their thoughts right after their sessions. Some people write deep, spiritual notes like, “I was born again” or “We are all gods.” 🙏 It’s a beautiful way to witness the first thing that pops into someone’s mind post-experience.
