Spravato (esketamine) and IV ketamine treatments have shown incredible promise for individuals struggling with treatment-resistant depression. While the scientific aspects of these treatments are significant, the experience of undergoing them is equally important. At Suburban Psychiatric Specialists, we believe that comfort and emotional safety are just as vital as clinical outcomes.
Here are several ways to make your treatment sessions soothing and therapeutic:
🌿 Set the Tone with the Right Ambience
A calming environment can ease anxiety and enhance your experience. We recommend:
Dim lighting or soft lamps to minimize sensory overload.
Comfortable recliners to create a relaxing atmosphere.
Soothing music or nature sounds to support your tranquility.
Aromatherapy with gentle scents like lavender or eucalyptus, if tolerated.
Patients are encouraged to bring their own playlists, pillows, blankets, or eye masks for added comfort.
🧠 Mentally Prepare Before the Session
Your mindset plays a pivotal role in your treatment journey. Consider these tips before your appointment:
Practice light meditation or deep breathing exercises to calm your mind.
Set a positive intention for your session, such as “I am open to healing” or “I feel safe and supported.”
Minimize stress on the day of your treatment by clearing your schedule as much as possible.
📵 Unplug from the Outside World
This is your time. Silence your phone, let go of your to-do lists, and give yourself permission to relax. Many patients find that detaching from digital distractions enhances their connection with the healing process.
💬 Communicate Your Needs to the Team
Every patient is unique. Some may prefer silence, while others may want check-ins during their session. Please communicate:
If you need the room temperature adjusted.
If you’d appreciate extra privacy or reassurance.
What level of interaction feels comfortable for you.
At Suburban Psychiatric Specialists, our Spravato technicians and medical team are trained to adjust the experience based on your preferences.
🔔 Use a Simple Way to Get Attention if Needed
During Spravato treatment, you might prefer a quiet atmosphere. However, feeling secure is crucial. Each treatment room is equipped with a call button so you can easily alert your technician without needing to speak or get up.
💡 Reflect After Each Session
Taking a few moments after each treatment to journal or sit with your thoughts can be beneficial. This practice helps deepen emotional processing and allows you to track your progress over time.
🌼 Gentle Reminders for Your Healing Journey
It's important to remember that Spravato and ketamine therapy can be transformative but may also evoke intense emotions. Creating a relaxing and supportive environment helps you feel safe and nurtured throughout your journey.
