Author Katherine Inez Davis has just published CONNECTED: A Personal Journal for Ketamine Therapy. The journal is focused and timely considering:
- Less than five years ago, the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration approved a nasal spray derived from ketamine
to treat depression. That product, Spravato, is now available
only by prescription and administered in a physician’s office.
- Ketaminehad already been available to treat depression
and related illnesses at clinics, legally, as an off-label use of
its FDA approval for anesthesia since 2011. The treatment
has been quietly entering the mainstream and is
now taking off with notice and headlines across
national media.
- In 2015, an estimated 60 ketamine clinics operated
throughout the U.S. Within three years, there were more than
- By early 2022, more than 550 private clinics in
the United States were legally administering ketamine
to patients.
- Clinics provide the treatment and supervision, and many
suggest, but do not provide, a journaling practice to support
optimal patient outcomes. Patients will look for this focused
addition to their treatment that cannot be met by a general
journal.
- Ketamine clinics and doctor-supported therapy are up and
running throughout the greater Philadelphia, Lehigh Valley,
and Northern New Jersey regions.
- The CONNECTED journal is prepared specifically for the
unique experience ketamine brings to clinical
patients.
About the Journal
CONNECTED is available to assist patients prepare for, record, and successfully integrate this healing experience.
The increasing number of patients who turn to ketamine therapy to treat severe depression, PTSD, chronic pain, and related physical and mental health issues can take active steps alongside treatment for improved outcomes. Journaling—a healthy outlet on its own—is one of these.
Katherine Inez Davis focused graduate study on the ketamine patient experience and found undeniably consistent themes to create CONNECTED.
This personal journal for ketamine therapy offers:
- Three different sets of working pages to support the complete
process of this unique treatment: Preparation, Recall, and
Connection
- A space to explore the tremendous, unusual experience of
ketamine; and capture the sensory, emotional, and mental
missives within
- Organized, broad prompts to bring clarity to details and
connect the experience to daily life
- A starting point for review and discussion with a counselor,
medical team, or support group
- A flexible, growing document for the critical phase of
integration
CONNECTED has ample writing space and a functional layout that brings ease to the process.
This journal was designed to work in partnership with a clinical treatment plan, allowing a chance to thoughtfully consider how the ketamine experience can translate into the best possible health results.
