Ketamine Therapy, Explained: Safety, Sessions & Integration with LMFT Liz Perez
Manage episode 511869703 series 3684184
Ketamine therapy sounds promising—but stigma, safety, and “what actually happens?” keep you stuck. If meds/therapy haven’t helped, here’s a personal growth–aligned roadmap.
Nikki P sits down with licensed marriage & family therapist Liz Perez, LMFT to demystify ketamine-assisted therapy—from medical screening and dosing to the real work of integration. You’ll learn who it may help (treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, complex PTSD), what a session looks like (prep, eye mask, music, ~1 hour under medication), and why integration turns insight into lasting change. They also cover risks, red flags, and when ketamine is not appropriate—plus how modalities like EMDR, Brainspotting, EFT, and parts work pair with KAT to accelerate healing.
If you’re curious and cautious, this grounded, both/and conversation gives you clear next steps without the hype.
