Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)

Understanding Expanse MN Approach to Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy

Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) at Expanse MN

• KAP is indicated for people experiencing symptoms of depression and/or suicidality, including treatment resistant depression.
• At Expanse MN, a low-dose of Ketamine is used to induce a non-ordinary state of consciousness that includes: Awareness of body; comfort and relaxation; reduced ego defenses; empathy, compassion, that used for anxiolysis and/or and warmth; love and peace; euphoria; mind is dreamy with non-specific colorful visual effects.
• This state will support an individual’s ability to reflect on patterns of behavior – including thought processes – with the help of a therapeutic guide who assists them in the process of examining these patterns within the context of a safe environment.
• The KAP approach used at Expanse MN is highly interactive with the therapist and is considered a “directed/interactional” form of psychotherapy.
