Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy

How do these two things work together?
Individualized and tailored ketamine infusions provide rapid relief of symptoms by stimulating improvement in brain communication pathways, increasing plasticity in the brain, decreasing inflammation, and increasing high functioning brain states. These changes in the brain help disrupt rigid, maladaptive thoughts, behaviors and disturbing memories that contribute to symptoms of mental health disorders.
Appropriately timed psychotherapy sessions to address underlying emotional trauma takes advantage of the changes that ketamine infusions cause in the brain. Therapy sessions help incorporate the ketamine experience into everyday life. This can help integrate new relationship templates, new patterns of thinking and feeling, and support new behaviors and beliefs.
