KAP
KAP is a growing therapeutic modality that weaves therapy into psychedelic treatment.
KAP is a type of psychotherapy that utilizes a psychedelic that was discovered in 1962. It is an FDA approved anesthetic agent used widely due to its excellent safety profile. The generic psychedelic is not yet FDA approved to treat mental health conditions, and is used off-label for mental health treatment. There is a growing body of research that this psychedelic may be beneficial for: Treatment Resistant Depression, PTSD, Anxiety, Bipolar Depression, OCD, and Suicidality.There are multiple routes to administer psychedelics. At Healing Hearts Therapy, we are currently offering this in the form of lozenges (known as “troches”). We plan to offer intramuscular (known as “IM”) psychedelics in the near future. We will collaboratively tailor the treatment to best suit your diagnosis and preferences. Visit NIH here to learn more about KAP and psychedelic treatment.
Preparation
Therapists and Journeyers collaborate to ensure the Journeyer is in a prepared mindset. This preparation time explores intentions for healing and much more. Preparation typically takes 3-5 sessions, 50-minutes per session.
Journey
Therapy during the psychedelic journey can be a transformative experience. Anxieties, ruminative thoughts, inhibitions, and triggers may be softened with a low dose, allowing gentle entry into deeper therapeutic work. KAP Sessions typically run 2-3 hours per session.
Integration
Integration refers to processing the psychedelic Journey and what emerges in the time immediately following, with an eye towards deriving personal meaning and integrating new knowledge into everyday life. 50-minutes per session, number of sessions varies.
