Trauma
Ketamine is a synthetic compound that induces a mild dissociative or psychedelic experience depending on the dosage and route of administration.
Ketamine is FDA approved for use as an anesthetic, and thanks to an expanding body of scientific research, it is also used to treat depression, trauma/PTSD, anxiety, eating disorders, chronic pain, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and other mental health issues.
Ketamine often works quickly, sometimes people even start to feel better during the first session. Usually, a series of sessions are recommended to treat mental health problems more fully.
Research shows that 70-80% participants that received 4-6 sessions of Ketamine had continued symptom reduction at 12-month follow-up, with 15-20% of participants needing a booster at 6 months.
Current research shows that ketamine stimulates neuroplasticity by activating sites in your brain called NMDA receptors.
The neurotransmitter glutamate is also thought to be involved in this process, setting ketamine apart from traditional antidepressants that often work on serotonin receptors.
This helps to increase the neuroplasticity in the brain making it easier to make new neural connections and to help rewire old thought and behavioral patterns, and for these changes to “stick”.

"Different Human Being"
“I’ve been working with Erica Van Parys for nearly 1.5 years now, and I’m a different human being for the better... Stacy has been extremely helpful as well... I’ve been to many therapists over the past 7-8 years trying to figure myself out... I’ve been given much more hope to live a happier life and to become a better functioning part of society.”

"Saved my Life"
"I have had bad anxiety and depression since I was 16 years old. I have been in therapy and tried multiple medications over the years, but nothing worked. I was at my wits end and chose to seek an alternative. From the first Ketamine journey at Guided Journeys I immediately noticed a difference. The weight I had felt for so long was lifted off my shoulders, and I had a new outlook on life and even on myself. Guided Journeys saved my life and I owe them everything."
