Key Considerations for Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)

Welcome to Adaptable | Behavior Explained! In this clip, we dive into important health considerations for those seeking Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). Learn about potential contraindications like psychosis, high blood pressure, substance abuse, and pregnancy. We also explore the safety of combining KAP with other conditions and whether a doctor’s referral is necessary. Plus, discover exciting research on alternative psychedelics like psilocybin, MDMA, LSD, and more, which are showing promise for treating mental health issues. If you're considering KAP or other psychedelic therapies, watch to understand the key factors to keep in mind and how to safely approach treatment. Always consult a healthcare provider to determine the right path for you. I'm Kelly O'Horo, Attachment based EMDR Therapist, EMDRIA Consultant, and Advanced Trainer. I'm a mom of 5, Nonna of 5, wife, and a healer. I have the honor of spending my workdays walking along side people while they brave their healing journeys. I try to live with the generous assumption that we're all doing the best we can with what we know. Therapists are teachers for the "life stuff" and "emotional vocabulary" that may not have been learned due to gaps in our care givers capabilities. In the last 15 years I've learned that people are freaking amazing, resilient, and inspiring. Most importantly, we are hardwired for connection and for healing! I hope to bring an authentic, compassionate, and unpolished approach while we explore a variety of topics such as parenting, marriage, relationships, dating, trauma, attachment, adoption, depression, addiction, anxiety, and love! There's a why for all behaviors and an explanation that makes perfect sense as emotion is at the root of it all. -- Links -- https://linktr.ee/kellyohorolpc https://youtu.be/rLnARKekvgo https://www.emdria.org/find-an-emdr-therapist/
