Using Ketamine Therapy During Life Transitions: Divorce, Loss, or Reinvention
Life doesn’t always follow the plan. Sometimes we find ourselves in the middle of a major transition—a divorce we didn’t see coming, the death of someone we love, or the unsettling in-between of knowing what isn’t working anymore but not yet knowing what comes next. These moments can feel disorienting, overwhelming, and raw. And sometimes, traditional talk therapy just doesn’t touch the deeper layers of grief, confusion, or numbness we carry through these changes.
That’s where ketamine-assisted therapy can offer something different.
Meeting Change with a Different Kind of Support
When you’re navigating a big life shift, it can be hard to access clarity or even feel your feelings. Maybe your mind is spinning in loops, or maybe you feel shut down entirely. Ketamine, when used intentionally and with therapeutic support, can soften the defenses just enough to let something new in—insight, release, even moments of unexpected peace.
This isn’t about escaping your reality. It’s about creating space inside of it. In our work together, ketamine becomes a tool to help you reconnect with your emotional landscape, safely and at your own pace. It opens the door to parts of yourself that may have been silenced or buried under survival mode.
Divorce, Loss, Reinvention: Each Journey is Unique
Every transition brings its own flavor of pain and possibility.
Divorce can stir up grief, shame, relief, and everything in between. Ketamine sessions can help you untangle the stories you’ve been telling yourself and make room for self-compassion.
Loss often comes with a depth of sadness that words can’t reach. Ketamine may help you access that grief gently, and move through it instead of getting stuck beneath it.
Reinvention can feel exciting but also terrifying. Whether you chose this new path or it was chosen for you, ketamine work can support you in clarifying what matters most and anchoring into a sense of inner direction.
A Somatic, Grounded Approach
I don’t just offer ketamine therapy—I integrate it with somatic practices that help you stay connected to your body and your internal cues throughout the process. Using lozenges (troches) in a calm, supportive setting, we work together to prepare your system for the experience, support you during it, and make space afterward to digest what came up.
Somatic therapy is especially helpful during transitions because so much of what we carry is stored in the body: tension, holding patterns, emotional blocks. By weaving these practices into our ketamine work, we help your body tell its story, not just your mind.
It’s Not About Fixing You
You’re not broken. You’re in transition.
That distinction matters. Ketamine-assisted therapy during life changes isn’t about erasing your pain or rushing to a resolution. It’s about sitting with what’s true, allowing new insights to arise, and slowly finding your way through.
If you’re standing at a crossroads, feeling stuck between who you were and who you might become, this work might offer you a different kind of companionship along the way.
