How Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy Works

During a ketamine therapy session, IV ketamine is administered in a comfortable and controlled environment under the supervision of a trained professional. The experience typically lasts about 60-90 minutes, during which time you may feel a sense of relaxation and relative detachment from your usual thought patterns. This altered state of consciousness can provide a fresh perspective on your experiences and emotions, allowing for deeper insights and breakthroughs.

Following the ketamine experience, the psychotherapy component begins. This is a crucial part of the process, as it helps integrate the insights and experiences gained during the ketamine session into your everyday life. 

Trained therapists will guide you through this process, helping you make sense of your experiences and apply them to your healing journey.


Benefits of KAP Therapy

KAP therapy offers several unique benefits that distinguish it from traditional therapeutic approaches:

RAPID RELIEF FROM DISTRESS

One of the most significant benefits of Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy is its ability to provide rapid relief from symptoms. Many individuals report feeling improvements within hours to days of their first session, making it a suitable option for those struggling with adverse symptoms of mental health distress.

PROMOTES BRAIN HEALING

Ketamine has been shown to increase neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to form new neural connections. This enhanced neuroplasticity can facilitate the development of healthier thought patterns and behaviors, supporting long-term recovery and mental health resilience.

REDUCED SUICIDAL THOUGHTS

For individuals experiencing suicidal ideation, KAP can provide rapid relief and a renewed sense of hope. The therapy can help disrupt the cycle of distressing thoughts and provide an optimal foundation for healing and recovery.

EASES CHRONIC PAIN

Chronic pain conditions can be deeply intertwined with mental health. KAP can help address the psychological aspects of chronic pain, reducing pain perception and improving overall quality of life.

ENHANCED EMOTIONAL PROCESSING

KAP allows for enhanced emotional processing, helping you navigate difficult emotions and experiences. The altered state of consciousness can make confronting and processing painful memories and feelings easier, leading to more profound healing and emotional release.

KAP has shown remarkable success in providing relief for depression, offering a lifeline to those who haven’t found solace in traditional antidepressants and therapies. For many, it’s a chance for renewed hope and well-being.
