Send us a text We apologize for the sound issues and we will fix this in our next episodes but the content is really good, we promise! In this conversation, Dr. Yanuck and therapist Maria Lloyd discuss the transformative potential of ketamine therapy, particularly when combined with psychotherapy. They explore personal experiences, the physiological mechanisms behind ketamine's effects, and the importance of integrating therapy with ketamine treatment. The discussion highlights the significant changes observed in patients, the role of psychotherapy in enhancing outcomes, and the future of psychedelic therapies in mental health treatment. Takeaways: Ketamine therapy can lead to significant transformations in patients. Concurrent psychotherapy is crucial for maximizing the benefits of ketamine. Patients often experience breakthroughs that were previously unattainable in traditional therapy. Dissociation in severe depression can hinder effective therapy engagement. Ketamine acts as a catalyst, allowing deeper emotional processing. The integration of therapy post-ketamine treatment is essential for lasting change. Therapists should be trauma-informed to effectively support patients using ketamine. The future of psychedelic therapies holds great promise for mental health treatment. Collaboration between therapists and clinics enhances patient care. Patients should choose therapists who specialize in trauma-informed care.
