Do you want your mom to try ketamine?
Yeah… me too.
When ketamine has helped you experience healing, freedom, or transformation, it’s incredibly normal to want the people you love to experience it too. But there’s a big difference between opening the door to ketamine therapy and trying to drag someone through it.
And apparently, I got to learn this lesson firsthand with my own mom.
In this episode of Ketamine Connections, I’m sharing what happened when I finally told my mom, “I would honestly love for you to try ketamine sometime”—and the questions, fears, and concerns that came next.
We’re talking about:
✨ Why you DON’T want to become a ketamine or psychedelic evangelist
✨ How to talk to a loved one who’s curious—but apprehensive—about ketamine
✨ What ketamine actually feels like compared to alcohol or cannabis
✨ The fear of losing control, saying something you regret, or “not being yourself”
✨ Ketamine and memory loss: what can actually happen during a session
✨ Why your loved one’s questions are sacred—even when they sound fear-based
✨ How safety, curiosity, and moving slowly can keep the conversation open
Because here’s the thing: the goal isn’t necessarily getting them to say yes.
The win might simply be creating enough safety that they keep asking questions.
If you’re wondering how to talk to your mom, partner, friend, or loved one about ketamine therapy without pushing them away, this episode is for you.
