While rebuilding his ketamine clinic after a car bomb explosion, Dr. Ko shares how focusing on obstacles was actually hindering his progress. Drawing from Dan Millman's board-breaking lesson and the brain's negativity bias, he explains why outcome-focused intentions work better than obstacle-focused thinking - both for clinic rebuilding and ketamine therapy. Learn how to shift from "not being depressed" to envisioning specific positive outcomes during treatment.
Dr. Ko shares a personal story about chess grandmaster Josh Waitzkin, who got worse at chess when he abandoned his natural aggressive style for expert advice. Drawing parallels to his own experience rebuilding after a clinic explosion, Dr. Ko explores how authenticity often serves us better than trying to be perfect, and how ketamine therapy can help patients reconnect with their true selves.
Dr. Ko shares a personal update following a car bomb explosion that damaged their ketamine clinic, along with three practical resilience tools that are helping during this challenging time. Learn about the FMA mnemonic for focusing on what you can control, the Stoic philosophy of amor fati for accepting and finding meaning in difficult circumstances, and the shrimp shell metaphor for embracing growth through discomfort.
