Have you have listened to a podcast, scrolled Instagram, or watched the news in the last year or so? If so, you’ve likely heard something about ketamine assisted psychotherapy. Some people are calling this time in the mental health industry the new “psychedelic revolution.” More research around using these medicines to treat mental health issues becomes mainstream. It is great news that this life-changing work is becoming more accessible. But, this exposure has also created some myths and misconceptions. So, I am here to clear up some things about ketamine assisted psychotherapy in Summit County, CO.
At Grit Therapy, we are proud to be introducing ketamine assisted psychotherapy. We use ketamine and want to provide you with the facts about this effective and safe treatment.
Myth #1: Ketamine is unsafe.
Ketamine is very safe when used in sessions with a licensed therapist. At Grit Therapy, clients interested in ketamine assisted psychotherapy in Summit County, CO meet with a prescribing NP. They will complete a full medical evaluation. Plus, they will answer any questions about the medicine.
Myth #2 I have to have severe trauma or symptoms to benefit from ketamine-assisted therapy.
Ketamine assisted psychotherapy is effective for a wide variety of clients. You may have tried talk therapy in the past and now feel stuck. Or, you may be ready to re-program old stories and beliefs and move past what holds you back from the life you deserve. At Grit Therapy, we use ketamine therapy to heal many issues. These include:
Chronic worry or fear
Codependency
And low self-esteem
Myth #3 Ketamine is only a recreational drug.
Ketamine is a well-researched medicine. It was approved as an anesthetic by the FDA in 1970 and was approved by the FDA as a treatment for depression in 2019. Over the last several years, many medical and academic organizations have documented the effectiveness of ketamine when used to treat various mental health disorders.
