If you haven’t seen it, the series Mr Robot explores the suffering of disconnection from Self. At its core, Mr Robot is a story about self-discovery and integration of the parts of self after experiencing trauma. “Radical, transformative healing.”

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a therapeutic model that explores deeper parts of the self and is the model of therapy that guides our Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) treatment.

This video does a beautiful job showing what it means to have a painful internal struggle with parts of self and the process of radical acceptance, finding meaning, understanding, and becoming whole.

A deep dive into the psychology and profound therapeutic concepts found within Mr. Robot; a meticulously crafted love-letter to my all-time favorite TV serie...

Excerpt from Ketamine Taskforce Statement on the death of Mathew Perry

“We have a mental health and su***de crisis in this country that is not being met by mainstream medications and therapy. Ketamine works better and faster than most traditional antidepressants. Research shows that it can stop suicidal ideation within 1 to 6 doses, with 63% of study participants experiencing resolution of suicidal ideation in 3 days compared with 31.6% in the group that received placebo. Traditional antidepressants can take 6-8 weeks to have a significant effect and even then research suggests they may only be effective in around 1/3rd of patients.

Compared to opioids, ketamine's potential for abuse is considerably lower. Nearly 107,000 deaths from op**te drug overdoses from occurred between 2021 and 2022. Fentanyl caused 74,000 known deaths in the US in 2022. Per the CDC Ketamine caused about 30, usually in combination with other drugs. However, its safety and efficacy are contingent on the safe use under the guidance of trained medical and mental health professionals.

We focus on enhancing safe care, accessibility, and education regarding ketamine therapy, while also advocating for improved insurance coverage.”

In the U.S., healthcare is driven by insurance companies. We would like to see that change. Nearly every day, we are asked, "Do you take insurance?" or a similarly, "Is this covered by insurance?" Working in the health care arena for over thirty years, I have watched the corporatization

Most people have heard of Walgreens and CVS and know what to expect from these large chain pharmacies. Corporate-run pharmacies have driven out most of the small independent pharmacies and along with them pharmacists who know how to compound medications. Compounding pharmacies offer unique advantages that standard pharmacies can not. Independent pharmacists provide invaluable support for practitioners who are helping people with issues that don’t fall within the usual healthcare algorithms. The FDA is slowly overstepping their bounds and interfering in the work of licensed pharmacists and practitioners caring for their patients. This video may be of interest to many of you.

If you're finding it difficult to sit down and relax with a book, staying active and listening to a book is great too! Walking not only increases blood flow to your body, it also improves blood flow to your brain. Combine that with listening to something interesting, and BOOM! those neurons will be firing with lots a blood flow too! Does that mean you'll learn more?? Hmmm?

Research indicates, yes. There is no better thing than a book to help you become sustainably smarter and well-rounded. Books train your mind and they are a means to become educated in ways that can enhance your overall wellbeing. But, is it possible that listening to books is as good for your brain....
