KETAMINE ASSISTED PSYCHOTHERAPY WITH EMDR 

What is Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy with EMDR?

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an innovative and integrative approach to mental health treatment. This combination leverages the neuroplasticity-enhancing effects of ketamine alongside EMDR's ability to process and resolve traumatic memories, offering a powerful treatment for conditions such as PTSD, depression, and anxiety.

How does KAP with EMDR work?

KAP involves the administration of a carefully monitored dose of ketamine, which promotes neuroplasticity and facilitates deeper therapeutic exploration. EMDR is a structured therapy that helps process traumatic memories by using bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements) to desensitize emotional distress. Together, these therapies provide a unique opportunity for deep healing and transformation.

The KAP with EMDR Process

The KAP with EMDR Process

Initial Consultation: A thorough assessment to determine if KAP with EMDR is suitable for the individual.

Preparation Sessions: Establishing goals, setting intentions, and introducing EMDR techniques.

Ketamine Sessions with EMDR: The administration of ketamine in a controlled setting, paired with EMDR techniques to process and reframe traumatic experiences.

Integration Sessions: Post-treatment discussions to process insights and incorporate healing into daily life.

    • Enhanced Trauma Processing: Ketamine’s dissociative effects can create a safe space for reprocessing trauma with EMDR.

    • Rapid Relief: Many patients experience significant symptom improvement within hours or days.

    • Neuroplasticity Enhancement: Helps the brain form new connections, supporting long-term healing.

    • Deeper Emotional Processing: Facilitates access to subconscious thoughts and emotions that may be difficult to reach through traditional therapy.

    • Reduced Suicidal Ideation: Studies suggest ketamine may help reduce suicidal thoughts quickly and effectively.

  • This treatment may be an option for individuals struggling with PTSD, treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, and other mental health challenges. Consulting with a qualified provider is essential to assess suitability and ensure safety.

  • Ketamine therapy is administered under medical supervision to minimize risks. Patients should disclose their medical history and any medications they are taking to avoid contraindications. Side effects may include mild dissociation, nausea, or dizziness, which typically subside shortly after treatment.
