Basically how it worked was, during the session, my mom would lie down on a couch. I was there with her, therapist on a couch opposite her. She would have a blanket over her (she discovered on the trip also the amazing benefits of weighted blankets, which she now uses to great effect for helping her sleep too). Then the therapist would administer the ketamine via intramuscular injection, it would be a pre-agreed upon dosage based on feedback between you and the therapist. But then yeah, after the injection occurs, there's just some calm relaxing music playing, my mom has an eye cover on and she just lays back and rests. During the initial few minutes generally quite quiet, but she would also share a couple words here and there what she was feeling or seeing, but not really as a way to share more just that was part of her processing it. Generally the therapist and I would not say anything or interfere at all. While I do think my mom was able to kind of get a sense or feeling of / or better sense of proprotion of some psychological things going on inside of her, I suspect a lot of it is simply biochemical. Yes the talk therapy helped and the therapist was amazing, but it wasn't psychotherapy, it was very gentle and I guess helped my mom develop a better sense of proportion. A couple takeaways she had was how certain things weren't as important as others, for example.
