Find PTSD Therapists In New York And Denver

KETAMINE AND PTSD

• Systematic reviews summarize multiple clinical studies showing that ketamine can meaningfully improve PTSD symptom scores compared with control, with benefits most pronounced shortly after dosing and with repeated administration protocols.

• Childhood trauma is not a recognized medical condition, although most of our clients find their way into our practices because of shame, negative self beliefs, fears and other blocking beliefs that stem from early childhood experiences.

• Ketamine’s ability to open rigid thought patterns and to gently bring up early memories and beliefs, makes Ketamine a go-to in our therapeutic work with clients.

• We also use Ketamine successfully in psycholytic dosage ranges during talk therapy and in combination with EMDR trauma therapy.

PSILOCYBIN AND PTSD

• Early Phase 2 psilocybin studies show safety and promising symptom improvement in PTSD when given with psychological support.

• Even before clinical trials, research suggests that psilocybin’s ability to:

  • promote neuroplasticity,

  • reduce avoidance and reactivity,

  • enhance psychological flexibility and connectedness,

  • and facilitate emotional breakthrough experiences could make it therapeutically relevant for PTSD mechanisms such as impaired fear extinction and rigid fear networks.
