1

Preparation

How you arrive matters. When your nervous system is calm, your mind is more open and your session is more likely to go deeper. These are just ideas — you don't need to do all of them. Pick one or two that feel realistic and calming for you.

Before Your Session
  • 🎶Listen to calming musicCreate a playlist that helps you slow down — return to it before each session
  • 🚶Take a quiet walkFresh air and gentle movement settle the nervous system
  • 🛁Shower or warm bathRelax your muscles, freshen up — arrive clean and calm
  • 🧘Brief meditation or breathwork5–10 minutes of stillness — breathe, soften, arrive
  • 📵Put your phone awayGive your mind space to quiet down before treatment begins

Intention

An intention plants a seed — it gives your session a direction, not a script. You don't control where the journey goes, and that's okay. Sometimes the most important insights are the ones you didn't expect.

What do you wish to receive from this session?

Help, show, or guide me to,
and what I need to embody that in my day-to-day life.

Write this in your journal before your session. Return to it after.

Integration

Integration is how you carry what you experienced forward. There are many ways to do this, but the most important one is simple: reflect on what happened. Even a few lines in a journal helps your brain make sense of the experience before it fades.

After Your Session
  • 📓Journal while it’s freshCapture anything that arose — images, feelings, realizations
  • 🌱Return to your intentionWhat did your experience reflect back to you?
  • 🌙Rest without agendaGive yourself time to land — no decisions needed today
  • 💧Hydrate and nourishWater, light food — care for your body gently
  • 🤍Share with a trusted personA friend, therapist, or your coach — speaking it aloud helps it land

Why the days after matter

Ketamine quiets the part of your brain responsible for rumination and rigid thinking, and opens a window where new neural pathways form more easily. In the 72 hours after your session, your brain is especially ready to change. What you feed your mind during this time matters more than usual.

× News & social media× Scrolling & swiping× Violent shows or games× High-stimulation environments

If this feels like a lot, don't worry — even doing one small thing from each section makes a difference. Your coach is there to help it all make sense, and to adjust things so they work for you.

And if this feels too basic, there's a deeper guide that explores how these three skills work together as a cycle — where each session builds on the last.
