Katabasis

Stories are how we make sense of life.

The ancient Greeks had a word for the journey of descending into the unknown with intention — and returning changed by what they found there:

ka · TA · ba · sis.

It was a deliberate choice to go deeper when nothing on the surface was working anymore.

3½ years ago I had a nervous breakdown; CPTSD had been building for years, and when it broke the surface, 4 of my 6 kids chose to estrange themselves from me. Now our 30-year marriage is looking like it’s ending in divorce.

I have not found clarity or peace in my grief and suffering.

So I’m doing what the ancients did. I’m going in with intention.

This podcast documents my ketamine-assisted therapy experience at the Within Center at AWKN Ranch in Austin — a first-person account of going deeper when nothing else has worked.

I invite you to join me on the journey.

This is ka · TA · ba · sis.
