Video: Ketamine Psycholytic Psychotherapy (KPP)

17:10

This video is dedicated to Ketamine Psycholytic Psychotherapy and how it is different from psychedelic and psychiatric Ketamine Sessions.

Key Takeaways

  • Psycholytic refers the “mind-loosening” effect of low dose ketamine treatment.

  • Low level dissociation, softening of emotional barriers, and dampening of arousal allows for increased engagement in the therapeutic process.

  • Unlike higher dose psychedelic KAT, KPP tends to look more like traditional talk therapy in that the client is more mentally present, allowing for more back-and-forth between client and therapist.

  • Some therapy modalities that pair well with KPP include: EMDR, sand tray, CBT, somatic therapy, and IFS.

  • Lozenge and nasal spray are the preferred routes of administration for KPP.
