Imagine that you plant a seed and it’s beginning to sprout up through the ground. You can see 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, but yet you know for it to survive you’ll need to nurture it gently.
You have a friend or perhaps a significant other who has decided to undergo ketamine infusions. You may be all about ketamine or you may be skeptical; all are valid reactions and we’ve seen them all.
But let’s cut to the chase – this isn’t about you. This is about your loved one. They have been dealing with depression, anxiety and/or PTSD, as well as mental and/or physical pain. Perhaps you have been witness to it, have had your life affected by it, or are vaguely aware of it. Regardless, your loved one has decided on their own to try ketamine infusions.
Whether they say it or not, your loved one is going to look to you for support. So how can you support them while they receive ketamine infusions?

This stems not only from military experiences, but physical and emotional abuse, bullying, shaming, interpersonal violence, sexual trauma, and criminal acts.
