The use of ketamine in Jungian analysis

Ketamine is being explored as a therapeutic tool in Jungian analysis. It has shown effectiveness in treating patients who have not responded to other medications or therapies. Ketamine has psychedelic effects, which can help anesthetize trauma complexes and allow other internal figures to come forward. The use of ketamine in analysis aims to calm the default mode network in the brain, allowing for creative thinking, mind wandering, and a sense of connectedness. However, it is important to note that the use of ketamine should not be seen as a quick fix, and the long-term effects and cost of treatment are among the considerations to take into account.
