The potential of using Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy in trauma treatment and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy in a group setting
Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) has recently emerged as one of the most innovative treatments for depression (particularly treatment resistant depression (TRD), anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder as well as a host of other psychological conditions. Integrating pharmacological, psychological, and archetypal/transpersonal elements, KAP represents a new synthesis (or hybrid model) of psychotherapy. Empirical results, particularly during the past decade, demonstrate that ketamine and KAP may be able to assist clinical populations whose symptoms and psychological issues have not been responsive to treatment by other means. The practice of KAP, including diverse dosing strategies, allows clinicians to craft intervention strategies at both the psycholytic (trance, self-reflective) and psychedelic (transformational/transpersonal) levels of experience.
This presentation will focus on the potential use and efficacy of KAP in the treatment of trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder. The opportunities and challenges of this approach will be highlighted and discuss the different treatment strategies based on a type of trauma and personal and treatment history of the patients. In trauma focused therapy with KAP we are facilitating the emergence of new experiences and perspectives-- relational, somatic, existential, and spiritual -- while supporting the individual’s processing and integration of past memories. Additional goals involve reparation and regulation of the nervous system, development of self-compassion, and the replacement of flight-fight-freeze responses with i
