Psycholytic Ketamine Therapy: Deepening Clinical Practice

A 3-hour workshop for PAT-trained therapists.

Psycholytic ketamine therapy occupies a distinct space within psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy — lower-dose, insight-oriented work that unfolds differently than higher-dose psycholytic or psychedelic-peak experiences. For therapists already trained in PAT, this workshop offers a focused opportunity to sharpen clinical judgment and build embodied skill in this specific modality.

Over three hours, you'll explore how psycholytic ketamine work fits within the broader landscape of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy and use a dose calibration framework to help locate where you are in the arc of the medicine and the spectrum of clinical work. Through guided reflection and discussion, you'll take stock of your own clinical confidence — naming where you feel grounded, where you're growing, and where your competency in psycholytic therapy is still developing. The workshop also includes a live demonstration and practice of skills, giving you space to work directly with embodied, somatic, and experiential inquiry skills for attuning to clients' implicit emotional and relational material.
