In this video, Dr. Howard Schumaker explains that there are three areas of the brain where ketamine appears to have the most impact.
The third area is a bit more complex and often referred to by medical experts as “the sublime”, where awe, beauty, and even empathy are experienced.
Ketamine therapy may help support this part of the brain, which means some people begin to reconnect with feelings that may have felt distant or harder to access. That sense of appreciation, perspective, or even empathy is something many people may not expect.
It’s also why some patients come out of a session simply saying “wow.” Not because everything is suddenly fixed, but because something feels different.
Everyone’s experience is unique, but understanding how ketamine works in the brain can help make the process feel a little less unfamiliar.
