Ketamine Therapy for Mental Wellness

The World Health Organization has designated it on the list of essential medicines that should be widely available.  More recently, Ketamine Therapy’s anti-depressant effects have been recognized for treating mental health issues related to depression, anxiety, trauma, and addiction. It has a distinctive safety profile that has minimal effects on the respiratory system and is safe to use in conjunction with antidepressant medications. Consequently, it is one of the only psychedelics that can be used with antidepressants and other mental health medications, which allows for greater accessibility. Similarly, a session lasts for around two hours, which is much shorter in duration compared to other psychedelic and plant medicine experiences, yet it offers similar transformational outcomes. 

 Ketamine-assisted Couples Therapy can be an extraordinarily profound intervention for relationship healing due to its ability to take you out of habitual, old programming and forge a new path abundant with expanded awareness, deeper feelings of love, and increased emotional maturity. Because ketamine specifically works with your brain's ability to create new neural pathways, it offers opportunities for neuroplasticity. Simply put, your old, chronically embedded synaptic wiring takes a hiatus, and during an assisted ketamine therapy session, this is where the magic happens. You are in a pliable space that promotes a departure from unconsciously cemented ways, and beneficial possibilities are suddenly available, causing your brain to form new pathways governed by a more resourced, expansive YOU. Ketamine works on NMDA receptors, which are responsible for neuroplasticity. This is how your brain develops and learns new skills and abilities. Ketamine's promotion of neuroplasticity may allow you to learn new ways of thinking and relating to your partner to interrupt toxic communication habits and relationship dynamics. 

Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy interrupts the cycle of negative communication and relationship dynamics because of its neuroplasticity-promoting properties. Ketamine works on NMDA receptors, which are responsible for neuroplasticity. This is how your brain develops and learns new skills and abilities. Ketamine’s promotion of neuroplasticity may allow you to learn new ways of thinking and relating to your partner to interrupt toxic communication habits and relationship dynamics. When paired with integration therapy sessions, you can access the couples therapy tools on a deeper level, and your brain is primed to take in new information and see your relationship and partner more adaptively.
