Ketamine-Assisted Depression Therapy
Ketamine-assisted Psychotherapy can help depression. Depression at its core is hopelessness. There are also neurochemical changes that are associated with depression. Ketamine acts on unique receptors for treatment of depression. When we combine it with psychotherapy, we have a chance to address some of the life circumstances and thinking patterns that produce hopelessness. We are all born with hope and over a period of time because of events our hope can be effected. We learn to believe that the life that we are leading is as-good-as-it-gets. Part of it is biology that does not let us feel the hope but part of it is the lessons that a person has learned over a period of time to help them survive.
WHAT IS KETAMINE ASSISTED PSYCHOTHERAPY?
Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy is built on the fundamental principle that depressive thoughts are not something to banished away. Those thoughts actually are arising from the wisdom of our body in trying to help us adapt to adverse circumstances. Not accepting any of those thoughts can push those thoughts in our unconscious and as a result we lose control over them. They control us. But if we learn how to listen to them and befriend them, those thoughts lose their power. Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy gives us a chance to bring those thoughts out of the shadows and work with the intense emotions that they are often associated with. Working with depression is usually an emotional journey. We provide you the space and means to start on that journey.
HOW IS KETAMINE USED IN DEPRESSION THERAPY?
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy for depression is useful because of its dual mechanism of action. The biological effect can happen relatively quickly. For some people even after the first treatment they can start seeing hope. With that victory, a person now has energy to do some of the emotional work in Psychotherapy. It can give people a break to experience emotions about things that they have kept buried within themselves for a long time. It is necessary that you have an established relationship with a therapist before letting those emotions come out. Because a therapist can help channel those emotions in a constructive way. That is why at Blossom we call our therapists guides.
