Ketamine is a powerful dissociative medication with psychedelic properties. Used medically in anesthesia since the 1960s, it is increasingly used in psychiatry at low doses to promote mental health.
There is growing evidence that ketamine is a safe, effective treatment for many states of mental unwellness, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, and other "stuck" mental patterns causing suffering.
When paired with a trusting therapeutic relationship, treatment with ketamine can be a powerful tool for people who want to explore non-ordinary states, make progress in their healing, and grow.
At Conscious Practice, ketamine assisted psychotherapy includes intake, preparation, medicine session(s), and integration support for appropriate clients.
There are a number of ways ketamine can be administered or taken into the body, including intravenous infusion (IV), intramuscular injection (IM), sinus cavity spray (intranasal), and under-the-tongue lozenge (sublingual). Conscious Practice will be offering ketamine medicine sessions using intramuscular injection or under-the-tongue lozenges. Each medicine route has pros and cons, leading to a qualitatively different experience. Like any potential medicine prescribed, dosing and route of administration is thoughtfully chosen based on each individual client’s health, needs, preferences, and overall treatment plan.
