What is Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)?
KAP is a psychotherapeutic process that employs ketamine as an ally to tamp down defenses and fertilize dendrites to allow a client to gain greater access to self. We employ a collaborative process with medical professional partners and your primary therapist using low dose sublingual ketamine supportive of a deeply meditative “psycholytic” state.
The work encompasses assessing safety and eligibility, preparation, a dosing session, then integration.
Client themes reported from experiencing KAP include:
The experience of calm for the first time
The relaxation of habitual vigilance and distrust of self
Access to difficult states of mind with less fear
Enhanced capacity for mindfulness
Accelerated couples work and able to find each other’s essence instead of being stuck in a “dance of defenses”
