Ketamine Connections

Episode 59 | Scared Before Ketamine? Here’s Your Pep Talk

That feeling of “Am I ready?” before ketamine? It’s normal. Your subconscious mind is wired to cling to the familiar, even if the familiar isn’t working. In this pep talk episode of Ketamine Connections, Anna Krishtal (Your Ketamine Coach) speaks directly to the nerves, doubts, and questions that come up before your first session.

Inspired by a client who said, “This isn’t going to be easy,” Anna reminds you: “Yeah, and you wouldn’t want it if it were easy.” Hard things are hard, and they’re also what make transformation real.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • Why the voice in your head saying “not ready” is just your subconscious resisting change.
  • How stepping into the unknown is actually a skill you’re building.
  • Why research can only take you so far and how ketamine is about lived experience, not theory.
  • A powerful truth you may not want to hear: the version of you on the other side of ketamine already has the answers you’re looking for.

If you’re standing at the edge of your first ketamine journey, this pep talk is here to walk with you through the nerves and into the bravery of showing up for yourself.
