Integrating

KAP & EMDR

There is a lot of information and discussion around psychedelics and ketamine as it is a rapidly expanding treatment modality. This workshop explores the integration of Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Participants will gain an understanding of how these therapeutic modalities can be combined to address psychological disorders such as treatment resistant depression, anxiety, OCD and PTSD.

Ketamine, a fast-acting, dissociative anesthetic, has shown promise in providing rapid symptom relief for individuals with treatment-resistant conditions. When paired with psychotherapy, it can help patients access deeper emotional processing. EMDR, a well-established trauma-focused therapy, works well with ketamine in certain dosing ranges by expanding the window of tolerance and helping individuals reprocess traumatic memories and reduce emotional distress.
