About the Training
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is a treatment tool increasingly sought out by potential clients. Curious clients frequently turn to trusted mental health professionals to help them assess whether it’s a good fit for their own healing.
This webinar will leave you informed for a thoughtful conversation about whether your clients, friends, family, colleagues or you might want to explore KAP. It will also help you gauge your own interest in it as a tool for your practice.
KAP opens new possibilities as a medicine for certain mood disorders, and is also applied effectively in working with obsessive-compulsive disorders, neurosis, phobias, trauma, grief, and addiction as well as a general tool for our most stuck places with our most stuck clients.
