In the 24 hours leading up to your ketamine infusion therapy session, it is crucial to protect your mental and emotional well-being. Avoid consuming media content, including news, movies, or social media, that may evoke sadness, anxiety, or disturbing emotions. Such content can interfere with the positive and healing experiences ketamine infusion therapy aims to provide.
Setting an intention before your therapy session helps guide your focus and establish a positive mindset. Take a few moments to reflect on what you hope to achieve, whether it's relief from depressive symptoms, increased self-awareness, or a sense of peace. Formulating a clear intention can strengthen the therapeutic outcome of your ketamine infusion therapy session and provide a sense of purpose. Our providers can help you with setting the right intention for each session.
Writing down your thoughts and emotions in a journal is a powerful tool for self-reflection and preparation. Prior to your session, take time to jot down any concerns, fears, or questions you may have. Journaling helps you gain clarity, identify triggers, and pinpoint areas of focus for your therapy session. It also serves as a valuable record of your progress throughout the treatment process. Elysian Wellness has developed a “ketamine journal” to help guide patients in this practice.
Engaging in a calming meditation or mindfulness practice before your ketamine infusion therapy session can help quiet your mind and center your thoughts. Find a quiet space, sit comfortably, and focus on your breath, letting go of any distractions. You can use guided meditation apps, breathing exercises, or visualization techniques to promote relaxation and cultivate a receptive state of mind.
In the hours leading up to your ketamine infusion therapy session, prioritize self-care activities that promote relaxation and reduce stress. Engage in activities that bring you joy and peace, such as taking a warm bath, going for a walk in nature, practicing gentle yoga, or listening to calming music. Nurturing your body and mind with self-care helps create an optimal environment for your therapy session.
Preparing your mind for ketamine infusion therapy is an essential step towards maximizing the benefits of this innovative treatment. By avoiding disturbing media, setting intentions, journaling, and engaging in calming practices like meditation, you can create a receptive and peaceful mindset. Remember that each individual's experience with ketamine infusion therapy is unique, and these techniques can enhance your overall therapeutic journey. Embrace the opportunity to clear your mind, embrace healing, and embark on a path towards emotional well-being and mental clarity.
