Ketamine Assisted Therapy
What is Ketamine?
Ketamine is a safe and legal available medicine with psychedelic properties. Ketamine is FDA approved and being researched to treat such diagnoses as depression, PTSD, anxiety, and addiction. Ketamine was first synthesized in 1962 and is classified as a dissociative anesthetic and is commonly used in hospitals and clinics worldwide. Dissociation is a mental process that involves disconnecting from one’s thoughts, feelings, or sense of identity. An anesthetic is a substance that induces insensitivity to pain. At a sub-anesthetic dose (meaning you are still “awake”), ketamine produces a non-ordinary state of consciousness and a psychedelic experience with the intention for healing (non-recreational use).
What is Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)?
Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy combines the therapeutic effects of ketamine in a safe contained environment with a trained therapist. The psychedelic aspects induced by ketamine provide for more material to work with in therapy, especially in the context of a long-term therapeutic relationship. Ketamine has the potential to accelerate healing and the role of the therapist is to help support you throughout the entire process. Prior to becoming a ketamine therapy client, individuals must be properly evaluated and screened by one of our collaborating licensed medical professionals who can legally prescribe ketamine.
