What is KAP

 
 

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is an innovative therapeutic approach that integrates the use of ketamine—a fast-acting antidepressant and anxiolytic medication—with guided psychotherapy. This combination creates a safe and structured pathway for individuals to explore their emotions, access deep insights, and disrupt unhealthy patterns of thought and behavior.

 
 

How KAP Works

1. Preparation
Before beginning ketamine treatment, clients participate in preparatory sessions with a trained therapist. These sessions focus on building trust, understanding the client’s goals, and establishing a supportive environment to ensure the experience is meaningful and transformative.

2. Medicine Sessions
In a controlled and safe setting, clients receive ketamine under the guidance of their therapist. Ketamine promotes altered states of consciousness, fostering emotional openness, reducing anxiety, and enhancing neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to create new neural connections.

3. Integration
Following the medicine sessions, integration therapy helps clients process their experiences, make sense of the insights gained, and implement positive changes in their daily lives.
