In this week’s episode of Ketamine Connections, I’m joined by the deeply embodied and wildly insightful Joe Mach—a ketamine-assisted psychotherapist, Gestalt and IFS practitioner, musician, and retreat facilitator based in Austin, TX.

Joe shares his unexpected path from rock musician to trauma-informed guide, and we explore the inner architecture of healing, the power of slowing down, and why somatic awareness is key in the integration process.

We talk about:

💭 Joe’s initial resistance to ketamine—and how he reconciled it with his Vipassana meditation roots
 🎵 What happens when you realize your need for applause can be met in a deeper, more authentic way
🌀 Why talk therapy isn’t always enough—and how Gestalt, IFS, and embodiment open up real transformation
🧘‍♂️ How to support clients who are afraid to slow down or feel their bodies
💡 What "making friends with your mind" actually looks like in practice
🌙 And yes—we even talk about the full moon and how it might be affecting your nervous system

This episode is packed with insight, humor, and grounded spiritual wisdom. Joe brings the perfect blend of presence and play to the psychedelic healing space, and I can’t wait for you to hear it.
