What is Ketamine?
Since the 1960s, Ketamine has been a vital tool in anesthesia, known for its safety and rapid action. Its significance was particularly evident during the Vietnam War, where it facilitated field surgeries in challenging conditions. Formal FDA approval in 1970 solidified its role in emergency medicine, where it remains heavily utilized in settings such as EMS, emergency rooms, and veterinary services.
Beyond its traditional use, Ketamine has garnered attention for its mental health benefits. Initially recognized for its sedative effects, clinicians noted its ability to produce improvements in mood and a reduction in suicidal ideation when administered to agitated patients. Over the past three decades, extensive research has supported its efficacy in treating a spectrum of mental health disorders, ranging from depression, and PTSD to substance use disorders and chronic pain.

Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)
Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) blends ketamine administration with psychotherapeutic techniques. Proper preparation and integration are crucial for maximizing its benefits.
Preparation involves setting an intention to focus your session, selecting a comfortable space at home, and choosing enhancements like music and scents to enrich your experience.
During the session, your provider administers the medication. The experience then unfolds internally, allowing for deep introspection. As the effects of ketamine gradually subside, your provider takes on the role of guiding you through an exploration of your thoughts, sensations, and emotions. They offer both assistance in documenting your insights and supportive encouragement as you integrate these newfound understandings into your daily life.
