Hate to be the party pooper, but do you think this is good for your sobriety? Like do you feel confident you can stick with a program and only use the drugs as therapy rather than recreation? I only ask because I know you're still "young" in recovery. Just looking out for you.
I am by no means sober, just not drinking anymore so it isn't a concern. Appreciate the check in though!
Okay, please be careful with whatever you do going forward.
Having typed out my "trip report" of sorts. I want to second this.
I wouldn't recommend using anything as an ongoing crutch. That has brought me nothing but pain and burnt bridges and suffering for 15+ years. If you choose to try and experiment with ketamine treatment I can only recommend trying it as a one-off experiment, or a series of experiments over the course of a week or two.
If you are successful you won't need to keep doing it. You may find you benefit from re-doing it once a year, or once every six months, or something like that. I understand that in a professional setting this is often the approach.
But I think re-dosing, re-visiting a cathartic dissociative therapy session/s should, eventually, be unnecessary as you build a healthier life and mental space.
