Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)
-
Who is it for
KAP is a psychotherapy modality used as part of a custom treatment plan for eligible clients to manage anxiety, treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, and other mental health conditions. Ketamine is a legal and safe medication that can serve as a rapid-acting antidepressant and mood enhancer. Evidence also supports a unique anti-suicidal effect, independent of antidepressant response.

How does it work?
In the brain, Ketamine serves as a receptor blocker and a neural circuit stimulator known for its positive effects on stress and mood.
Ketamine’s disassociative effects can help clients gain perspective on their trauma response. Ketamine is also known for enhancing brain neuroplasticity. This effect opens a window of opportunity for therapeutic intervention. Following a ketamine dosing session there is a critical period which allows for higher responsiveness to therapy

What are the benefits?
KAP invites cathartic moments of calm, release, and insight. These can provide new perspectives and ways of seeing ourselves, setting fertile ground for growth and healing. Using ketamine can lead to a greater response to treatment and long-lasting relief from various mental health symptoms.
Ketamine has been shown to reduce the functional activity of the Default Mode Network (DMN), which can give clients a chance to take a break from habitual thoughts and gain perspective.
