Is Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy Right for You?

Generally, KAP has been recommended for people whose depression, anxiety, or PTSD symptoms have not been relieved by traditional talk therapy. There is plenty of scientific research to support these claims.

My own personal belief is that most of us struggle with human-ing within the inhumane systems that structure our existence. Even if you haven’t been diagnosed with a mental illness, ketamine may help you to see yourself in a kinder way.

While our modern American culture gives us freedoms and joys that many of our ancestors could only dream of, it also comes with a constant thrum of impossible standards for many of us.

Other cultures make use of psychedelic medicines as a matter of normal spiritual practice. For many, psychedelics aren’t curing an illness. Instead, they offer a means to explore and make peace with deep inner shadows. Why should we deny ourselves this opportunity?

In our Western culture, there is pressure to produce, the cultural belief that you will never be enough if you don't produce, and an inherent disconnection that is facilitated by one of our greatest modern marvels: the Internet.

And that's just the start; I'm sure you could add plenty more to a list of impossible standards that you feel in your daily life.

But back to ketamine, the solution to all Western suffering (kidding not kidding?)

If you can relate to the following, ketamine may be a good option:

• Feeling stuck, as if you're living on a hamster wheel

• Disengagement with your life, as if you're not really there

• Regret about decisions you've made

• Difficulty loving yourself

Even if you don't have an official diagnosis of depression or PTSD, just being a human in the world means you may benefit from the relief offered by ketamine. We can discuss this further individually, as everyone has unique needs and desires. Together we can decide if this is something you may want to try.
