Send us a text

Unearth the transformative power of ketamine therapy with our guest Kristi Christensen, a brave survivor of complex PTSD. As she illuminates the shortcomings of traditional talk therapy, it becomes clear that for individuals with severe trauma, the path to healing might require a different approach altogether. Kristi shares her deeply personal journey, revealing how ketamine treatments have been a beacon of hope in the darkness, through neuroregenerative connection to the prefrontal cortex, and disconnecting the painful memories stored in her amygdala.

Join us as we step into Part 3 of this powerfully enlightening episode. Kristi stresses the importance of understanding and education in tackling untreated PTSD and breaking the vicious cycles of trauma bonding. Immerse yourself in her inspiring narrative filled with resilience and endurance, as she talks about her ongoing 35-year-long battle. From her personal experiences with trauma bonding and her current legal struggles, Kristi's  story is a testament to human strength and courage. There's a lot to learn from her journey that might ignite a spark of hope in your own struggles and perhaps even provide a roadmap for overcoming them.

Kristi states, "I was born to an empath and a narcissist/sociopath, and my mother tried to kill my dad and he had my mom committed.  They both lost custody and I lived in a foster home for a year.  Then my mother won custody and was going to move to Japan so my dad kidnapped me and my brother for 6 years.  The FBI found us in the Ozarks in 1995 in a survivalist situation and returned us to our mother.  Eight years later, the cops removed me from the home when my mom attacked me viciously and I was homeless for a year.  I married and divorced 4 times from age 18-24 and the last marriage was super abusive.  He is a super rich rancher in a small town in Utah."  She  divorced and is in the middle of legal battles for custody of her 2 children.
