THE PROCESS

Who is a candidate for interventional (chemical assisted) therapy?
Typically, our patients are motivated and insightful people who have either considered therapy but didn’t want to invest the typical time it takes, or they have tried therapy but were not able to implement changes into their daily lives. Historically, they intended to talk about the critical material for therapy but couldn’t access the fundamental awareness they needed comfortably. Our patients are people who feel discouraged because they have not grown into their potential. They are open to the use of medicine to comfortably ease their way into difficult psychological territory, aiming toward resolution.

What type of issues can ketamine help address?
The issues that ketamine therapy addresses are as diverse as the patients we serve. We vigilantly attempt to understand patterns that are interfering in your life. The unconscious is brought to awareness so it no longer drives behavior.  By getting closer to the core issues, you become more self-actualized and can achieve at a higher level of potential.

How long does the process take?
Everyone requires an initial consultation which lays the groundwork and expectations for the therapy work. That being said, things typically evolve once ketamine is started. Sometimes the therapy moves much faster than expected and sometimes new issues emerge that take more time to address. We adjust the individual timeframe and work within their process.

What are the “healing principles” the clinic utilizes?
Our healing principles emerged out of the non-profit, Eastern Healing Meets Western Medicine. They were created based on an understanding of eastern methodologies of healing which have withstood the test of time with humanity combined with western neuroscience and brain based trauma treatments. We have found that by applying these principles to the therapeutic work, the process is both more effective and generates deeper healing for everyone. Some principles will apply more directly than others, depending on the individual and the struggles they are undergoing.

What is required outside of the sessions?
The most important requirement is a deep and personal commitment to your own process of growth and healing, both during the sessions and outside of sessions.

Why is meditation so important?
The reason we require a meditation practice prior to beginning treatment, and strongly recommend a daily meditation practice during treatment and for the rest of your life, is because meditation is the cornerstone of good mental health. It allows people to observe their own psychological process, let go of negative thoughts and emotions, and surrender to reality in the present moment. This process creates the opportunity for awareness, insight, mental fluidity, access to different parts of self, integration, and ultimately permanent re-wiring of the brain.
