Do you have questions about psychedelic medicine or ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and you’re not sure who to ask? Things like, “is this Medicine something that could help me?” Or, “Is it safe? Is it legal? Is it good for PTSD? Is it good for anxiety? Is it good for depression? What if I’m nervous?”

I’m Anne. I’m the Administrative Director at Liminal Medicine, and we offer a free 15 minute phone inquiry with one of our trained medical or mental health professionals for anybody who has questions like that.

What makes Liminal Medicine different from other ketamine providers? I’m Dr. Suegee, the Medical Director here at Liminal Medicine and I often get this question.

I think the most important thing that makes us different from other ketamine providers is that we lean very heavily into Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy. Ketamine is a great tool but it’s not always great as a stand-alone treatment on its own.

Mental health issues are very complex, and as we know with SSRIs and other antidepressants, it’s not just the medicine that helps people. It’s the medicine with the psychotherapy that’s really important. Ketamine is a very powerful tool, and it needs to be used wisely.

We here at Liminal Medicine have been working with it for four years. Our therapists are highly trained in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy. All of the medical people here are also very highly trained in the use of ketamine, as well as in working with people in altered states of consciousness.

Here at Liminal Medicine you’re actually seen as an individual. You’re a person. We look at the whole person, and we are looking at what we can do to help you improve whatever you’re looking to improve.

We don’t leave anyone here alone in the Medicine. I think that’s a really important distinction as well. We always think that somebody should be with you at all times if you are in an altered state of consciousness.

So those are the big things that make us very different from a lot of other ketamine providers at this time. If you’ve had experiences with us and want to talk to about how your experience was different here than with other providers, feel free to put that in the comments.

Happy Thanksgiving! We tend to think about Thanksgiving as a holiday once a year, but I’m going to talk about how being thankful can actually affect your brain and decrease depression and improve overall well-being. I’m Dr. Suegee, the Medical Director here at Liminal Medicine.

There’s been a lot of research in the last 10 years on gratitude practices. That means being thankful for things, and they have found that it reduces depression, increases your serotonin and dopamine levels and actually even improves your immunity. It also decreases the activity of the amygdala, and the fight or flight parts of your brain, and decreases depression.

So how do we get these benefits? There are a lot of ways you can practice gratitude. One of the things that you can do is, of course, today being Thanksgiving, we’re all thinking about things we are grateful for. We may be grateful for the people around us. Grateful for getting this far through the year. Whatever it is that that you’re thankful for right at this moment. Maybe write that down. Keep a gratitude journal. Just every day write down at least one or two things you are grateful for.

Another thing you can do is maybe once every couple of days write a gratitude letter, a thank you letter to somebody. You don’t have to send it. It works better apparently if you write it and send it or even call and read it to the person if you know them that well. If you know anyone who has been helpful to you that you’re grateful for, or you’re thankful for something that they did for you, think of you sending a little note or a little email actually helps you.

So on this Thanksgiving day let’s think about what we’re all grateful for, and maybe pick up that practice right now of starting a gratitude journal, and helping both the mental health of ourselves and the people around us who receive that gratitude. Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!

Autumn can be difficult. As we hunker down into the cold fall weather, it can bring up a lot for people.

It can be a time of abundance of harvest, getting the opportunity to hibernate a little bit. It can also be a tricky time for people.

The light changes, we don't have as much vitamin D. Sometimes the seasonal change can feel pretty significant for people. The holidays are coming. so this time can be lovely and it can also be challenging.

And if you need support, we can be of help. Ketamine assisted psychotherapy can be quite useful for people who are dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, all things that sometimes get activated this time of year.

So this morning, I got mad at my toothpaste. Maybe it wasn’t my best moment. I might’ve overreacted a little bit. But when I picked up my toothpaste to brush my teeth this morning, I noticed that it had a little slogan on the tube. It said, “Step one: set big goals. Step two: go out and get them.”

And I was just like, “You know what, you don’t know me! You don’t know me. You don’t know where I’m at right now, and there’s days in my life when brushing my teeth and getting it done was an accomplishment.”

I have struggled with all of my life and with chronic depression, and ketamine therapy has actually helped me quite a lot. But I remember days when brushing my teeth was a big accomplishment, and I don’t want toothpaste, telling me that you know, I’m not enough.

So what I want to say today, especially we’re approaching the holidays and things are getting difficult for some people, is look for your wins. If you brushing your teeth was the thing you could do today and you did it, good for you!

If you need help or you need support, reach out and ask someone for help. You can contact Liminal Medicine if you are struggling with depression or anxiety or PTSD, and that’s one place that you can reach out to for help.

And if you’ve done something big or small you think was an accomplishment today, put it in the comments and I will tell you that you’re doing a good job.

Have a good holiday, however you do that.

Are you struggling? Do you know someone who is?

As we go through our busy lives, it can be hard to remember to check in on ourselves to see how we're doing, see how we're feeling. And it can be also tricky to remember to do that with other people as well.

And for those who have mental illness, those of us who are struggling with different mood issues, trauma, anxiety, social anxiety, it can be hard to stay in connection with other people. Some of the symptoms of those struggles are isolating and keeping ourselves to ourselves.

So I encourage you if you're struggling to reach out to someone you love and care about, who you trust. I mean, if you don't have someone to do that with, there are different hotlines and organizations and support groups. You can also reach out to us. And if you know someone who's struggling, reach out to them.

And in that spirit, if you'd like to stay in connection with us, please click our link in the bio to sign up for our newsletter.

Sometimes, a journey is easier with fellow travellers... Did you know that throughout human history, psychedelics are most commonly used in groups? There is something about the group experience that can be particularly powerful. It's a bonus that groups can also be more affordable for many people.

Liminal Medicine offers several types of group Ketamine Therapy, all with a doctor present.

Our Liminal Gatherings are a chance for our current or former patients to reconnect for a single session of group Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, let by a doctor and a psychotherapist. Our Open Gatherings are similar, but are also open to new patients (after a medical intake).

Our First Friday Booster sessions are for current or former patients who need a booster injection, and do not include psychotherapy.

We also offer multi-session groups from time to time, often centered around a theme. Recent multi-session groups included Caring for Caregivers (for medical and mental health providers), Finding your Creative Voice, and Taming your Inner Critic.

All groups require approval, to be sure this modality is right for you.

If you're interested in learning more about our groups, check out our webpage. And click the link in our bio to join our newsletter, so you'll be one of the first to hear when new groups open up!

KQED Forum just did a great piece on psychedelic medicine, including an update on legalization of M**A. Well-informed speakers, and lots of good questions and answers. Recommended weekend listening! If you missed it on air, you can find it here:

We check in with long-time researchers about how state and federal governments can influence the momentum of their field, how they’re reconciling the new right wing support, and what it all means for the future of psychedelic research and therapy.
