What If I Don’t Know What’s Wrong?

Ketamine Therapy When Words Fall Short

Sometimes it’s not clear what’s wrong. There’s no one trauma to point to, no single event that explains the heaviness or the fog you’re moving through. You might feel disconnected, stuck, or emotionally flat—but when someone asks you to describe it, the words don’t come.

This is more common than you might think. And if talk therapy hasn’t gotten to the root of things, you’re not alone.

That’s where ketamine-assisted therapy can offer a different way in.

When Language Isn’t Enough

Traditional therapy relies heavily on language: naming your experience, telling your story, finding insights through dialogue. But what if you’ve already told your story a hundred times and nothing shifts? Or what if your story doesn’t even make sense to you yet?

Ketamine doesn’t require you to have it all figured out before you begin.

In fact, part of its strength lies in how it gently bypasses the thinking mind and opens up access to deeper emotional layers—places we can’t always reach through words alone.

Meeting Yourself in a New Way

During a ketamine session, you might feel like you’re floating outside the usual noise of your thoughts. That space can bring clarity, or simply a sense of being with yourself in a quieter, more honest way. You don’t have to explain or justify anything.

As a therapist, I’m there to help hold the container—to support your process, whether it brings up memories, emotions, imagery, or just stillness.

And if nothing big happens in the session? That’s okay too. Some of the most meaningful shifts are subtle at first. It’s not about forcing a breakthrough. It’s about allowing something new to emerge, on your own terms.

Listening to the Body

I blend somatic therapy into the work because the body often carries the pieces that words can’t access. Tension, numbness, restlessness—these can all be clues. When you bring gentle attention to the body during or after a ketamine experience, the story sometimes begins to unfold on its own.

It’s not about analyzing every sensation. It’s about building a relationship with your inner experience in a way that’s grounded, safe, and curious.

You Don’t Need a Diagnosis to Begin

You don’t have to fit a particular mold to benefit from this kind of work. You don’t need a clear-cut diagnosis, or a dramatic life event. Feeling stuck, lost, or out of sync with yourself is reason enough to reach out.

Ketamine therapy isn’t about fixing you. It’s about opening space—space for emotions that have been buried, for questions that haven’t yet found answers, for parts of you that want to be seen.

If you're not sure where to start, that’s okay. We can begin right there, in the not-knowing.
