Episode 93 | The Power of Intention in Ketamine Therapy with Sean Hershey

What if the thing that changes your ketamine experience isn’t the ketamine itself… but how you prepare for it?
In this episode of Ketamine Connections, I sit down with therapist Sean Hershey to talk about his experience inside the Ketamine Preparation Protocol (KPP), what surprised him most about ketamine therapy, and how intentional preparation completely changed the way he approached the medicine.
Sean shares how he came to ketamine after years of personal healing work and why he quickly realized that ketamine alone wasn’t the thing creating transformation. Instead, it was the combination of intention setting, subconscious awareness, integration, and participation in the healing process that shifted everything.
We talk about:
- why ketamine is not a “magic pill”
- the importance of preparation before ketamine sessions
- subconscious healing and shadow work
- intention setting for ketamine therapy
- how Sean’s intentions evolved from “let go” to “allow”
- why trying too hard can block the healing process
- the difference between passive healing and active participation
- how ketamine accelerated emotional healing already in motion
- why people often misunderstand what ketamine actually does
Sean also shares his fears before starting ketamine therapy, including concerns about “bad trips” due to previous experiences with cannabis, and how ketamine ended up feeling completely different than he expected.
One of the biggest takeaways from this conversation is that ketamine can open the door to the subconscious mind — but lasting transformation happens through the choices, awareness, and actions that follow.
If you’ve been wondering whether ketamine therapy is “worth it,” or why preparation and integration matter so much, this episode is going to completely change the way you think about the process.
