A University of California San Diego School of Medicine team reports in the Journal of Psychopharmacology that two ketamine sessions added to an eight-week mindfulness therapy were linked to faster gains in body awareness among 68 adults taking buprenorphine for opioid use disorder. Smartphone prompts three times a day tracked body awareness, and higher awareness was associated with lower cravings three months later. The researchers call the results preliminary, based on self-reports from people who knew they received ketamine. Cravings can settle in the body, and people carrying that quietly deserve kindness from us and from themselves.
