Ketamine therapy sounds promising—but safety, stigma, and “what actually happens?” keep you stuck. This episode connects ketamine therapy with emotional intelligence so you can make grounded, informed next steps.
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 ketamine therapy may help (treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, complex PTSD), what a session can look like (prep, eye mask, music, ~1 hour under medication), and why integration is where insight becomes lasting change.
They also cover risks, red flags, and when ketamine is not appropriate—plus how modalities like EMDR, Brainspotting, EFT, and parts work can pair with KAT to support healing. If you’re curious and cautious, this is a clear, both/and conversation that helps you move forward without the hype.
Educational only—not medical advice. Always consult a qualified medical/mental-health professional.
