A very clarifying experience
I decided to engage in Mindbloom due to genuine curiosity and a too frequent pattern of waking up in the the middle of the night with anxiety. My job is stressful but enjoyable and meaningful. Consciously, I feel calm during the day. After about 4-6 hours of sleep, I tend to wake up from some unresolved anxiety. I have completed all 6 treatments. I was struck by the psychological journeys that the ketamine facilitated. Many times, I would recall memories that were neither profound nor traumatic, but they helped fill out the narrative of my life. They were important life experiences that I did access, but I was surprisingly impacted by meanderings that did not seem profound. after each treatment, I felt an immense sense of calm. (like a new set point). before these treatments, I assumed that the talk “neuroplasticity” was a way to validate a psychedelic journey as scientific. To my surprise, the flexibility of my thinking was strikingly enhanced during the first 72 hours after a treatment. I still feel more mentally flexible 3 months after stopping treatments. my middle of the night anxiety is much less frequent and intense but it still intermittently present.
