A recent testimonial from a client who completed KAP and gave me permission to share this anonymously.
What I like about this person‘s story is that it captured the way that ketamine can support meaningful progress, but in a more nuanced and layered way.
There are lots of stories on the Internet of people having life-changing experiences with ketamine or other psychedelics. what I hear often is, “it was like 10 years of therapy in one session” And while that’s true for some individuals and really wonderful, it is often not a realistic capture of how many people experience KAP.
The more subtle effects on the nervous system that KAP can have might not make for as exciting of a psychedelic story, but it can be a much better fit – especially for nervous systems carrying a diagnosis of PTSD.
Also, having an embodied experience of knowing something- rather than just knowing it on an intellectual level, holds an incredible amount of power in terms of healing from trauma. Ketamine provides that type of experience often, and I’ve seen how it shifts people over and over again.
This client also shared that they had wished their partner have been more involved in the process, and had a chance to be more educated in how to support them properly. I wanted to acknowledge that feedback here and say that it’s something I’m actually working on doing better. Traditional therapy is too often focus focused on the individual only, and individual ketamine assisted therapy can perpetuate that. Inviting partners and support people more deeply into the healing process would be ideal and is something I will continue to work towards.
As always, sending deep gratitude to my clients who trust me in this very vulnerable and meaningful work.
