After the initial learning phase, there’s often a quiet plateau. The original protocol feels either too rigid or no longer aligned. The excitement has matured into something more complex.

My latest blog post explores:
>> The “post-hype” phase of KAP
>> Why expansion can feel harder than starting
>> The gap between certification and sustainable structure
>> What it means to build architecture around your work instead of relying on momentum

If this resonates, I’m also hosting a webinar where I’ll go deeper into how to evolve your KAP offerings intentionally without chasing trends or burning out.

Last week, I wrote about the idea that your KAP practice mirrors the way you hold session: that the architecture of your work reflects your clinical presence. If that’s true, then there’s something else we have to look at: What happens when you evolve, but your structure doesn’t? That’s usua...

Some of the most common questions we ask ourselves sound practical on the surface: • “What does a psycholytic KAP session actually look like?” • “How much prep is enough?” • “How do I know if I’m doing this right?”But underneath those questions is something more embodied:"How do ...

I’ve been experimenting with creating reflective tools for KAP clinicians, and I just shared a short practice check-in deck.

It’s designed as a visual orientation; something to move through slowly if you’re feeling a bit “in between” in your KAP practice and want clarity about what needs attention next.

One of the core principles I return to again and again in my work, both clinically and professionally, is the Uncertainty Principle / No Assumptions Model in Brainspotting. This model reminds us that we don’t ever fully know exactly what or how a nervous system needs to process.In Brainspotting, w...

If you’ve completed KAP training and then found yourself thinking, “Why does this feel harder than I expected?” you’re not alone. And more importantly, you’re not behind. We might assume that once the training is complete, the practice will naturally follow. But building a KAP practice doe...

A Neuroexperiential, Developmental, & Relational Approach

As clinicians we learn, often through lived experience, that what supports one client may cause harm for another. We learn to attune to capacity, pacing, and context. We do our best to individualize care and meet our clients where they are.And yet when it comes to our own practices, many of us have....

Many clinicians are introduced to Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) after having solid training in other modalities, thoughtful intention, and a deep respect for the medicine. And yet when KAP begins intersecting with developmental or complex trauma, something often shifts. Clients who have expe...

For many clinicians (especially those of us practicing in brain-body, somatic, psychedelic-assisted, or relational frameworks) traditional treatment planning can feel misaligned with how the work actually unfolds. The forms ask for clarity before clarity exists. They require linear goals in systems....
