Summary
Welcome to Resiliency Radio with Dr. Jill Carnahan, where today's episode takes you behind the scenes of ketamine therapy—one of the most promising and misunderstood breakthroughs in modern mental health care. Dr. Jill is joined by Dr. Jennifer Ellice, a board-certified emergency medicine physician and founder of Golden Afternoon Clinic. In this candid and eye-opening conversation, Dr. Ellice shares her unconventional journey from emergency medicine burnout during COVID to specializing in trauma-informed ketamine therapy for treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, chronic pain, and suicidal ideation. 🔑 KEY DISCUSSIONS: Together, Dr. Jill Carnahan and Dr. Ellice explore: ① Why traditional psychiatry models often fall short ② The limitations of SSRIs and the outdated "serotonin deficiency" narrative ③ How ketamine works at a neuroplasticity level to rewire the brain ④ Why ketamine can feel like a mental and emotional "reset" ⑤ Who ketamine therapy is right for—and who should avoid it ⑥ The importance of medical supervision, safety, and proper screening ⇨ How "set and setting" influence outcomes ⇨ Powerful patient stories showing long-term healing and transformation 🔑 KEY TAKEAWAYS Dr. Ellice explains how ketamine temporarily quiets the brain's default mode network—often called the "inner critic"—allowing new neural connections to form and helping patients break free from deeply ingrained patterns of despair, fear, and self-judgment. If you or someone you love is struggling with persistent mental health challenges and hasn't found relief through conventional approaches, this episode offers science-backed insight, realistic expectations, and renewed hope. ✨ Like, subscribe, and share to help others learn about safe, evidence-based options for healing trauma and depr…
