Thanks for sharing that. Would you mind clarifying one thing?

The "gasoline poured into her veins" metaphor: Is that referring to physical pain, or something else?

I'm not them but it sounds like his wife had a lot of untreated anger issues and ketamine therapy bypassed the coping mechanisms that she had been using to prevent herself form blowing up, i.e. pouring gasoline into the fire in her veins.

It probably didn't make her more angry, just less able to resist expressing her anger.
