Mindscape Founder Eiad Asbahi on The Psychedelic Podcast

October 22, 2026

In a recent episode of The Psychedelic Podcast, Mindscape founder Eiad Asbahi joins host Paul F. Austin to discuss how years of inner work changed his relationship with himself, and how ketamine therapy helped him take that work further. He shares how ketamine creates space between his thoughts, allowing him to feel more present, recognize old patterns, and respond to himself with greater compassion. Through that repeated practice, he began developing greater self-trust and finding more joy in everyday life. “With ketamine, the way that I take it is

You’re Not Broken and You’re Not Defective

October 10, 2026

by Eiad Asbahi, Mindscape Founder and CEO It’s World Mental Health Day, and this year’s theme is lived experience, real people saying what actually happened to them. Here is the only lived experience I can honestly speak to. For forty years I didn’t know I had a mental health story at all. For most of that time I was in constant pain from my own mind and had no idea that was what was happening. I thought I was just a guy with a lot to prove, a

Could I Have Burnout, Depression, or Anxiety? A Check-In for Awareness Week

October 6, 2026

The first Mental Illness Awareness Week was observed in October 1990. Attitudes around mental health have improved since then, but several barriers still prevent people from getting support. One of them is uncertainty: you may know something feels wrong without knowing what it could point to. It can be hard to tell whether you’re dealing with burnout vs depression, anxiety, or something else. These conditions are separate, but their symptoms can overlap, and each one can feel different from person to person. Whatever the cause, those symptoms can affect

How Long Does Ketamine Therapy Take To Work?

September 22, 2026

When you’re considering a new treatment, you want to know when you might start to feel a difference. So how long does ketamine therapy take to work? Clinical studies suggest that oral ketamine may reduce depressive symptoms, with improvement beginning around the second week of treatment and continuing to emerge over the following several weeks. Research on longer-term oral ketamine is still developing, so there isn’t a single established timeline for what that progression should look like. Your own timeline depends on a handful of specific, identifiable factors.

Emotional Exhaustion: When You Have Nothing Left to Give

September 10, 2026

You know the moment. Someone asks you for something small, something completely reasonable, and you search around inside for a response and come up empty. You want to offer something, but you have zero bandwidth left to figure anything out. That’s emotional exhaustion, when the emotional effort of everyday life starts exceeding what you have available. Emotional capacity is finite. Sustained stress and ongoing demands can deplete it, and it takes time and recovery to rebuild. What Does Emotional Exhaustion Feel Like? Emotional exhaustion can feel like

How Your Ketamine Dose Is Set and Adjusted in At-Home Therapy

September 1, 2026

If you’re considering at-home ketamine therapy, one question tends to sit underneath the others: how does anyone arrive at the right dose for you without seeing you in person, and are you locked into whatever you start with? The short answer is that dosing is individualized and reviewed by a licensed clinician, and it isn’t fixed. You have a say in where you begin, a clinician confirms that starting point against your history, and the dose can change over time based on how you respond. If you’re curious what

Trauma Healing: Why You Keep Repeating Old Patterns

August 25, 2026

It’s one of the more disorienting experiences in trauma healing. You’ve done the work. You know exactly where the pattern comes from. You can trace it back to the specific dynamic, the specific person, maybe even the specific age. You’ve talked about it. You’ve journaled about it. You understand it with a clarity that would have seemed impossible a few years ago. And then someone’s tone shifts in a meeting, or a text goes unanswered too long, and the old response is already running before you’ve made a
