Ketamine gave me a great reduction in over all depression symptoms. It's also helped a lot of folks with the same... How? For me, it was about getting deeper perspective into childhood behaviors that were learned coping responses to big stressors.
Huh?
I used to be a wily little kid. Always in trouble. My family life was chaotic, so I developed kid methods of staying sane. Those same methods have followed me right into middle age. The way I see myself, hidden from direct view, is still through a child's eyes when stress hits, which was overwhelming my reaction and ability to find calm space in high emotional moments. Fractured sense of who I am and what I'm capable of, especially when I need myself the most.
Like I was saying, ketamine really made a huge difference in my ability to gain insight into my depression. But... Yeah, there's a but. I didn't really care for the actual dosing sessions, it's definitely not my kind of drug or feeling.
Which got me thinking. Once upon a time, I was very into hypnotherapy, and I did training in past life regression. I feel as though the same kind of results are gained, including increased neuroplasticity (which is what breaks the neural nest of depression in your brain), without any side effects from a pharmaceutical. Perspective is also created, as people in your current life, often show up as different players in your past life scenario, allowing you to explore relationship issues from completely different, and safe, perspectives. You get the mystical gift in a much purer delivery - ketamine opens you up to your subconscious playground, so does hypnotherapy, with much more realistic results.
I'll be starting ZOOM groups mid to late summer, for group past life regressions. I'll keep the cost super low, around $20-$30 per session. I really feel the benefit of this type of hypnotherapy will be as beneficial as ketamine has been, especially for those who just dislike the actual ketamine dosing, but enjoyed the incredible healing they got from it.
Wishing everyone a weird and awesome day š
