Life is going well. I live in Miami, I’m relatively healthy, and I founded Third Wave with a pro-social mission I believe in: to help safely integrate psychedelics into society for personal and cultural transformation.

Living life amidst a fog of depression feels helpless—especially when relief comes in the form of pharmaceuticals that keep people spinning in a cycle of despair. Too often, patients with chronic depression take a slew of medications with unwanted side effects and are unaware that alternative therapies exist. In contrast, others have heard of options like ketamine therapy but are skeptical of its power to heal. After all, this psychedelic bears the weight of its reputation as a tranquilizer and party drug. How could most people think ketamine would rival antidepressants in its ability to alleviate debilitating mental disease?
Have you ever been out with friends and wondered why you couldn’t enjoy yourself? You wanted to be present, but you felt anxious. The tirade of obsessive thoughts wouldn’t stop. Perhaps you face situations like this every day. And maybe you’ve tried everything mainstream medicine prescribes, but nothing has eased your anxiety.
So you’re ready to let go of your past, quiet the negative mind chatter, and see what ketamine treatments have to offer. You’re all in. Except you have no idea what to expect. No worries. You’re right where you should be! Of course, a bit of guidance to prepare for the experience couldn’t hurt, right?

Psychedelic experiences can be beautiful, challenging, enlightening, and even confounding. Since no two journeys are alike, the art of psychedelic integration requires an intuitive mix of modalities that is unique to each individual and their journey. But with so many techniques to choose from, it can sometimes be tricky to know where to start.
It’s one thing to talk about the modalities for psychedelic integration, which can range from journaling, meditation, and yoga, to artwork, time spent in nature, and more. But it’s another thing entirely to intuitively grasp how it feels to work with an integration specialist in the wake of a psychedelic experience.
Ketamine is not a traditional psychedelic. When you take ketamine, the ground won’t melt before your eyes as you journey into a netherworld and dance the night away. Instead, you may see geometric patterns or relive a past experience. You might also see nothing at all, as your ego diminishes, you dissociate from the sense of self, and your limbs go progressively numb. As you relinquish control in the altered ketamine state, you enter a space of psychiatric healing.
