How does KAP work? There are 5 steps to the process... 1.Initial Consultation with Journey Clinical •You will schedule your online evaluation with the Journey Clinical medical team. They will learn about your psychiatric and medical history, provide education on the treatment and then determine your eligibility to receive Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy. •If you are eligible, the medical team will create your unique Ketamine prescription and outcome monitoring plan. •The medical team will teach you how to self-administer the ketamine lozenges and how to take your vitals. •The prescription (enough for your first 2 KAP sessions) will then be sent to your home. 2.Preparation Session(s) •Once your prescription arrives, we can schedule our therapy sessions starting with Preparation Sessions. •These happen before the KAP Dosing Session in order to prepare – we will take time to align with each other, ask/answer any questions you may have, process possible outcomes of the Dosing Session and set your intention for the experience. •I ask that new clients schedule at least 2 Preparation Sessions with me prior to dosing in order to build trust and rapport. 3.KAP Dosing Session •Typical dosing sessions last between 2-3 hours •Dosing sessions can be held in person at my office or virtually. •I will assist you in creating a comfortable setting – adjusting lighting, getting comfortable, listening to calming music, participating in mindful breathing or guided meditation. •You will then self-administer your ketamine lozenge. •I will be present with you the entire time to hold space, give positive energy and provide support if you should need it. •Once the acute effects have worn off (after about 45-60 minutes) we will end the dosing session. If you are in my office we will contact your chaperone to assist you to their car to take you home. •We will have a very brief check in via text message a few hours later. 4.Integration Session(s) •We will meet again shortly after your Dosing Session to process the thoughts, insights, feelings and memories that arose during your experience. •We can take this time to review goals, set new intentions and prepare for the next Dosing Session. 5.Follow-up consultations with Journey Clinical •The Journey Clinical medical team will schedule regular follow up consultations with you after our first KAP Dosing Session. •The frequency of these consultations depends on your treatment plan but will occur once a quarter at minimum. •The purpose of these meetings is to monitor your outcomes and prescribe ketamine refills as appropriate.
