What is Ketamine-Assisted Therapy (KAP)?
Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) is a therapeutic approach that combines the administration of ketamine with psychotherapeutic techniques. It involves the guided use of ketamine, typically through intramuscular injection, intravenous infusion, or sublingual lozenges, alongside psychotherapy sessions conducted by trained therapists. The ketamine-induced altered state of consciousness is utilized to facilitate deeper exploration of emotions, thoughts, and memories during therapy sessions. This approach aims to enhance the therapeutic process by leveraging ketamine’s ability to promote neuroplasticity, facilitate emotional processing, and potentially reduce symptoms of conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and OCD.
At Wild Acres Wellness, Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) revolves around compassionate and knowledgeable psychotherapy. Our therapists offer thorough preparation for your psychedelic journey, guide you through the experience, and assist in delving into the insights that emerge afterward.
Wild Acres Wellness offers sublingual lozenges which minimizes having medical doctors on staff and extra medical equipment in the medicine session. The dosage of Ketamine administered during your journey is determined collaboratively by you, your therapist, and our medical provider. Usually, the initial session involves a lower dose, with adjustments made for the following sessions.
What is Ketamine?
Ketamine is widely recognized as the primary anesthetic medication for both adults and children worldwide, deemed safe within medical settings. Administered at doses lower than those required for anesthesia, Ketamine induces a unique state of consciousness distinct from our typical waking experience. This altered state can serve as a valuable tool for disrupting entrenched patterns of thought, mood states, and perception. When integrated with psychotherapy, Ketamine shows promise in addressing various psychological conditions and facilitating breakthroughs by offering an alternative to ordinary consciousness through a psychedelic journey into the mind. Additionally, Ketamine has demonstrated rapid and enduring antidepressant effects, often observed within hours of administration, in individuals grappling with severe depression.
