042. Eliminate Trauma & PTSD Forever with Ketamine Assisted Therapy - Dr Gregory Wells
This week, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Dr Gregory Wells from the Polaris Insight Center in San Francisco, CA. Dr Wells is a therapist who specializes in providing ketamine assisted psychotherapy to treat depression, anxiety, grief, and trauma. Gregory has worked with clients with a range of concerns, including mood disorders, psycho-spiritual growth issues, and integration of psychedelic experiences.
Dr Wells is getting some amazing results over at his clinic in as just as little as three treatments! Ketamine used to be known as a some "club drug" is now showing to have some major therapeutic effects for people, and I wanted to bring that to the forefront. If you know anyone who's been suffering from PTSD or trauma, please forward this episode to them! Dr Wells has setup a robust, remote program to assist people even during COVID.
