Testimonial: Ketamine Therapy Experience
This is a fragment of a more extensive testimonial shared by the patient:
“I’ve been struggling with my eating disorder since I was a teenager. Dating is hard, working is hard, being around myself is so difficult. It’s consumed my identity and I no longer know who I really am. I really need more than hope at this point in my life. During the ketamine treatment sessions, I felt weirdly held and safe in a way I haven’t felt even in my own body. The ketamine helped to break down some of the barriers that I had put up, or the barriers my eating disorder put up against my will. I am starting to feel a separation from my eating disorder. Thank you so much Shakti Therapy for showing me my eating disorder and not hating it anymore.”
