Ketamine- Assisted Psychotherapy
(KAP)
It can be hard to access the thoughts and feelings that we have spent a lifetime trying to push way down deep. When psychotherapy alone isn’t enough, ketamine can be a powerful augmentation.
Ketamine is an FDA-approved prescription medication that has been used widely since the 1970s for pain reduction and sedation. The medication acts on the glutamate neurotransmitter in the brain, which is involved in memory, emotion, and the experience of pain.
Over the past few decades, ketamine has been studied for its use in treating mental health issues – and the results have been remarkable. A wealth of research has found evidence for the use of ketamine in the treatment of depression, anxiety, grief and loss, suicidality and self-harm, posttraumatic stress disorder, unresolved trauma, and more.
