Power Profile Podcast:
Joining me this week is University of Texas and Harvard trained doctor Tasnim Khan, MD, MSC. She is co-founder of ShaMynds Healing Center and an expert on ketamine assisted therapy. Dr. Khan received training in Psychedelic Assisted Therapy and Ketamine Assisted Therapy from the Institute of Integrative Psychiatry.
We talk about how ketamine is used in therapy, the results she sees and the mainstreaming of a drug once thought of as recreational or for a dissociative anesthetic used medically for induction and maintenance of anesthesia.

In our busy lives its often hard to find the time to be with friends.
Today, three ingredients for lifelong friendships from writer, Julie Beck, author of the book The Friendship Files
Repetition:
Whether it's a monthly brunch, a weekly walk, or a twice yearly reunion trip, it's often easier to stay connected with your friends when you create a recurring event on your calendar for both of you to look forward to.
Time Together:
Research shows that you need roughly 50 hours to make a casual friend and more than 100 to make a close friends. Our schedules are crazy and thats why it often feels so hard to make new friends as an adult. Make the time to get close to others.
Grace & Space:
There will be inevitable disappointments. Friends forgive when they fall short. Create the space not only for connection but reconnection. That friend you lost over Covid? Maybe it's time to reach out gracefully and see what happens.
