Ben has struggled with anxiety for his entire life. He's tried everything from therapy to, prescription medication, to mindfulness, none of which totally relieved his anxiety.

Recently, Ben explored alternative options and decided to try ketamine therapy. This consists of a series of sessions where the patient is injected with ketamine, goes on a psychedelic "trip" and then talks through it with a therapist. Ketamine therapy isn't for everyone, but Ben found healing and emotional release.

In this episode, Ben shares his experience, what he learned, and how he's implementing those insights in everyday life.
