Summary
In this episode, we speak with Dr. Gayle Bereskin, a hospice and palliative care physician, about the powerful role of ketamine-assisted therapy in healing—especially for those facing serious or life-limiting illnesses.
Dr. Bereskin explains how ketamine, originally used as an anesthetic, is now helping people with depression, trauma, and emotional distress by quieting negative thought patterns and opening the brain to new perspectives.
We explore what a ketamine session looks like, the importance of preparation and integration, and how this work can help patients process trauma, reduce anxiety, and reconnect with meaning. She also shares how ketamine can ease fear around death, offering a unique way for patients to approach the end of life with more peace and acceptance.
This conversation is a powerful reminder that healing is possible—even in life’s most challenging moments.
