Episode 79 l Finding True Happiness and Realizing There’s Nothing Wrong With You: An Interview with Anna Krishtal
Ketamine Connections
Most people prepare for ketamine the wrong way.
They focus on logistics, and miss the part that actually creates change.
Ketamine opens a neuroplastic window, but without direction, that window closes without taking you anywhere new.
KPP is the framework for preparing your subconscious mind so that change is inevitable.
For the first time in 2026, I'm running it live.

Have you ever felt like something was wrong with you, like you were a problem to be fixed, or that life would finally feel better after the next milestone?
In this deeply vulnerable episode of Ketamine Connections, the tables are turned as Dr. Ashley Irizarry returns to the podcast to interview host Anna Krishtal.
Anna shares her personal journey of starting therapy at age 11, living with suicidal ideation, cycling through years of ineffective talk therapy, and chasing external milestones in the hope that happiness would arrive “when.” She reflects on the moment she realized that nothing was wrong with her, and how true healing began when she stopped trying to fix herself and started working with her subconscious mind.
This episode explores inner child work, the malleability of memory, self-talk, forgiveness, resilience, and why trauma-specific modalities like ketamine therapy and hypnotherapy can create change where traditional approaches often fall short. Together, Anna and Ashley unpack how ketamine provides access to the subconscious mind as a tool to help you rewire outdated beliefs and step back into the driver’s seat of your life.
This conversation is about responsibility without shame, healing without bypassing, and the reminder that your subconscious mind has been trying to keep you safe all along.
