Description
In-depth conversations how ketamine can be used to treat trauma
Join us in the exploration of the ethical and compassionate uses of ketamine-assisted therapy (KAP), along with its anticipated opportunities and challenges, to support optimal outcomes in the treatment of trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder. In this series Kyle Buller and Veronika Gold will host trauma and KAP experts from across the United States to learn about, discuss, share and inquire about the use of KAP in trauma treatment.
During the past decade, KAP has demonstrated it can provide significant benefits to populations whose psychological issues and symptoms have not responded effectively to other treatments. KAP represents a new hybrid model of psychotherapy that synthesizes pharmacological, psychological, relational, and archetypal/transpersonal approaches. KAP has recently emerged as one of the most promising treatments for depression, most notably for treatment-resistant depression (TRD), anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder. There are indications that it may soon become designated to effectively treat other challenging psychological conditions.
Trauma-focused therapy utilizing ketamine includes different treatment strategies based on the types of trauma and the personal treatment histories of the patients. The best practices of KAP are strategically selected from a range of dosages to address a scope of patients’ needs. With this, clinicians can craft interventions to utilize either the psycholytic (trance, self-reflective) and psychedelic (transformational/transpersonal) dosages – or both psycholytic and psychedelic dosages – to make the best use of their respective non-ordinary states of consciousness experiences. In this context, the experiential KAP session’s objective is to facilitate the emergence of new relational, somatic, existential, and spiritual experiences and fresh perspectives, while supporting the individual’s processing and integration of the non-ordinary experiences.
With our guests, we will discuss the treatment approaches that focus on reparation and regulation of the nervous system, development of self-compassion, and the replacement of fight-flight-freeze responses with inquiry and curiosity, along with cognitive-emotional flexibility. We will explore various dosing and treatment strategies and hear about case examples.
