Imagine for a moment that you plant a seed. It’s slowly beginning to sprout up through the ground. You can see two tiny leaves protruding from it. But since it is so small, you decide to place a protective net around it to prevent roaming animals and insects from eating it. The tiny plant still gets plenty of sunlight and water, yet you know for it to thrive you’ll need to nurture & protect it.
As the tiny plant grows and matures, it’s stalks become thicker and the leaves begin to flourish even more now. It can withstand some winds, gentle rain, and a few insects.
As this plant continues to grows, you discover it’s actually a small tree! And over many years, it becomes a mighty oak tree that can withstand thunderstorms, strongs gusts of wind, and even a brushfire.
During your ketamine infusions treatment you may have certain insights about life, yourself, or actions you need to take. It’s easy to be super excited about it and you may want to tell everyone about your insights and the lessons gained.
You may even want to shout out at the top of your lungs on a megaphone and let people know the wonders of IV ketamine.
BUT, before you go and share EVERYTHING with EVERYBODY, you may want to take the sage advice of keeping precious things to yourself.
Your insights when initially realized can be quite fragile. Depending on who you talk with, some may downplay your new beliefs, and say, “Chill out. You haven’t learned anything new. Duh, of course everyone knows that already. Your ideas are stupid.”
Some people, although they are on your side, may not be in your corner.
When you have something precious, keep it close to your heart. There’s no need to share everything with everyone, but only people who truly care about you and support you.
Similar to that tiny seed, it needs to be nurtured and protected before it can withstand heavy criticisms and opinions.
So nurture your ideas and realizations. Share only with one or two people who are truly in your corner. Talk with a counselor, therapist, or integration coach who you trust and gives you adequate support.
