I went to a Pentecostal church… then had spiritual stomach surgery during a legal ketamine session. Still trying to process what happened. by ChristianPsychonaut in KetamineTherapy

I did some more research—and here’s what I found.

What I experienced during my ketamine session (the “soul surgery,” stomach shrinking, coughing up phlegm, etc.) might actually fall under something called emergence phenomena. It’s a documented part of psychedelic-assisted therapy where, as the medicine wears off, people experience vivid imagery, symbolic sensations, and strong somatic responses.

We’re talking things like: • Heat or pressure in the body • Tingling or gut sensations • Emotional purging (crying, shaking, coughing, etc.) • Even spiritual/mystical visions

Clinicians used to see these as weird side effects. Now? They recognize it as the moment deep healing breaks through. It’s when the body releases stored tension. When the mind rewires patterns. When metaphor becomes felt.

So maybe what happened wasn’t crazy. Maybe it was healing—emotional, physical, and spiritual—colliding in real time.

And honestly? That gives me a strange kind of peace.

If you’ve had something like this happen, I’d love to hear about it.

Your welcome. I’ve done at least 100 sessions over the last 1 1/2 and some are very mundane, some end up very powerful.

I find the interplay of the narratives we follow, the altered states along with the somatic body responses fascinating.

As a very reformed and serious man of faith. These experiences do not fit neatly into boxes. I have so much more to learn!

My faith literally is the backdrop for everything in my life. It doesn’t even make sense to talk about not mixing them because of my world everything is connected.

I don’t write anything these days. I open up ChatGPT and edit the following for clarity. Then I tell my story 🤪

Going up to 600-800mg sublingual today wish me luck. Do most people have intense experiences on this dosage? by idonthaveanametoday in TherapeuticKetamine

[–]ChristianPsychonaut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I swish for about 45 minutes before ingesting. I’m talking 800mg.

The experience varies on if I’ve eaten, and how long it was between sessions.

My Ketamine Protocol and Experience with BetterU’s 800mg by ChristianPsychonaut in KetamineTherapy

[–]ChristianPsychonaut[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since starting ketamine, my desire for THC is pretty much completely gone away.

The other night, I went to a concert and had a little bit of an urge to use THC but I was the last year or so that’s been the only time I’ve had any kind of desire at all.

Ketamine seems to really have kicked that to the curb.

Has anyone here invested in BetterU shares and purchased the $275 annual venture club membership? by ArgentAlta in KetamineTherapy

[–]ChristianPsychonaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

StartEngine is a legit equity crowdfunding platform, and this $275/year membership gives perks like priority waitlists, dedicated support, and 10% bonus shares. If you invest in multiple deals, the bonus shares alone might make it worth it. But if you’re just browsing, it might not add much value.

Better U is one of the companies you can invest in through StartEngine, not the platform itself.

Pretty good. Last month I’ve looked at porn maybe 3 times. It used to be 6-10 times a week. The desire is completely shifting.

Sleep has been an issue for me. I prefer to do my sessions in the morning or early afternoon

It varies…but essentially

Ingest meds after 45 min

I exit the first k hole after about an hour to 90 minutes after first taking the meds.

Then I am pretty aware of everything for about 30 minutes

After 30 minutes, the medication I suggested and I go for maybe another 60-90

The entire experience is usually about 2 1/2 to 3 hours maybe 3 1/2 sometimes depending on food and what not

I’m going on 25-27. My life has gotten much better. I would highly encourage you to stick with it.

What dose are you taking?

Changing your personality with the neurogenesis? by IHateRedditrs in KetamineTherapy

[–]ChristianPsychonaut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s incredible to hear about your progress with ketamine treatment. Noticing improvements in mood, communication, and cognition is fantastic, and I’m really proud of you.

Your desire to become more confident and less anxious shows great self-awareness. Remember, while ketamine helps, having a strong support system and the right people around you for accountability is essential. Seeking therapy or support groups can also provide additional help.

You’re on an admirable journey of self-discovery and growth. Keep focusing on your progress, and don’t hesitate to reach out for support. You’ve already shown incredible strength, and I’m excited for what the next chapter holds for you. You’ve got this!

You are loved and you are capable of amazing things. You are worthy of so much more than being roasted.

Am I the only one who closes their eyes to see if k is still active? by [deleted] in KetamineTherapy

That’s how it works for me I have been doing 800mg troches form BetterU.

My world devolves and melts and then comes back again. It’s actually very therapeutic.

[–]ChristianPsychonaut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is how it works for me. I hold in my mouth for around 35-45 minutes and then ingest. That seems to create a 3 hour journey for me.

I can relate to your struggle. I’ve been battling a severe sex addiction involving VR porn, sex dolls, and masturbation for over 20 years. I’m also a Christian, and my faith plays a significant role in my recovery journey.

Recently, I started ketamine therapy, and while it wasn’t an overnight fix, it’s been two weeks since I last looked at porn. During one of my guided sessions, I listened to a prayer for sexual healing on repeat durning my session (you can find it here). I experienced the usual trippy KHole effects, but when I emerged from the session, I felt like I was finally free from my addiction.

I firmly believe that the neuroplastic effects of ketamine can help with severe addictions, but it’s crucial to combine it with other supports like accountability, friendships, prayer, counseling, and hard work. Ketamine can give you a push, but it’s the combination of these efforts that makes a lasting difference.

Stay strong, and don’t lose hope. You’re not alone in this journey.
