It is best to refrain from alcohol, cannabis, and other recreational drugs the night prior to your treatment. Think about what you would like to accomplish with treatment, and set an intention for treatment.
Expect to stay at the clinic for about two hours. You will need a driver to take you home from the clinic as you will not be able to drive or operate heavy machinery for 24 hours following the treatment.
You may have a loved one stay with you during the treatme, but note that it may be more difficult to focus on your own healing journey with others at your bedside. You will receive treatment in a comfortable chair and will be provided with an eye mask and headphones for soothing music or sounds.
If possible, it is best to see your mental health professional for talk therapy in the 2-3 days following treatment. Therapy in this window has been found to have significant improvements in patient outcomes.
