How it works

Ketamine-Assisted Therapy

In recent years, there has been a growing awareness that traditional approaches to mental health treatment may not always create the best results.

Ketamine-Assisted Therapy is a promising alternative for those who are grappling with mental health conditions such as addiction, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and eating disorders. By disrupting the neural patterns that construct these conditions, this type of therapy opens doors to life-changing psychological breakthroughs that were previously difficult to achieve through therapy alone.

How is Ketamine used at Klearwell?

Watch to learn from Dr. Laurie Higbed, Lead Psychologist, as she breaks down the science behind Ketamine’s effects on the brain, explaining its unique properties and potential therapeutic benefits.

Understanding the neural patterns

Addiction, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and eating disorders all involve patterns of behaviour that start in the brain. Often, these patterns are responses to traumatic experiences. These patterns in the brain circuits can become strongly established, making it tough for individuals to break away from harmful thoughts and addictions.

How does Ketamine work with
these harmful neural connections?

Ketamine, which is a dissociative anaesthesia, plays a role in triggering change during Ketamine Therapy. Administered safely in a therapeutic setting, medical-grade ketamine lessens the neural connections tied to harmful thoughts and addictions.

By disrupting these connections, ketamine creates a window of opportunity for trained and skilled therapists to intervene and guide clients towards developing more effective ways of responding to challenging thoughts and emotions.


Combining Ketamine with Talk Therapy

Ketamine-Assisted Therapy goes beyond the medicinal benefits of ketamine alone. Combining ketamine with talk therapy enables therapists to use the positive effects of the drug for therapeutic purposes.

Incorporating ketamine into talk therapy has shown success in facilitating psychological breakthroughs that may be hard to achieve with therapy alone.

This thorough method is created to tackle the root causes of mental health problems and equip clients with the tools and support needed to make long-lasting changes in their behaviour.

This treatment disrupts harmful neural connections while merging ketamine with talk therapy, unlocking the potential for psychological breakthroughs and lasting behavioural changes.

This alternative therapy brings hope and a fresh perspective to individuals dealing with challenging mental health conditions. This innovative approach might reshape how we treat psychiatric issues, opening up new possibilities for healing, growth, and recovery.
