Assess with clarity and confidence - Know when psycholytic ketamine is indicated, and when it's not. Work skillfully inside the altered state - Move beyond "holding space" into active, attuned therapeutic engagement. Dose with intention - Understand routes, timing, and titration specific to psycholytic work. Track the ketamine arc in real time - Recognize and respond to shifts during onset, plateau, and return. Apply deep therapeutic interventions - Integrate parts work, somatic tracking, and attachment-based approaches in-session. Pace effectively - Avoid overwhelm, shutdown, or the all-too-common "pseudo-processing." Facilitate real integration - Support clients in translating insight into meaningful, lasting change. Build structured treatment plans - Move from single sessions to a coherent therapeutic arc. Practice safely and ethically - Work within scope, manage risk, and navigate the realities of this work responsibly.

Registered therapists, counsellors, psychologists, psychiatrists and clinical social workers Practitioners already working with trauma, attachment, or somatic approaches Clinicians who feel limited by traditional talk therapy alone Professionals seeking to integrate or deepen work with ketamine in a therapeutically grounded way

This is not for you if: You're looking for a purely medical or protocol-driven model You want a step-by-step script without clinical decision-making You're not yet comfortable working with complex trauma or altered state dynamics

This training is designed to build skill through a dynamic integration of teaching, demonstration, and experiential practice. Rather than following a rigid structure, content unfolds in a way that reflects how this work actually happens relationally, responsively, and in real time. Throughout the training, you will learn to: Differentiate between psycholytic and psychedelic approaches, and understand when each is clinically appropriate Assess client readiness using psychological, relational, and medical criteria Identify contraindications and determine when ketamine is indicated — or when it's not Prepare clients for altered state work through clear expectation setting, informed consent, and relational safety Establish and maintain a strong therapeutic alliance as the foundation for dosing work Understand and apply dosing principles specific to psycholytic ketamine therapy Compare routes of administration (intranasal, sublingual, IM, IV) and their clinical implications Track and work within the ketamine effect arc in real time Facilitate therapy during the altered state, rather than stepping back into observation Apply relational, somatic, and parts-based interventions within the psycholytic window Work effectively with trauma activation, dissociation, emotional emergence, and resistance Develop attunement and pacing skills to support depth without overwhelm or shutdown Recognize and respond to subtle shifts in client state, including avoidance masked as processing Facilitate integration that translates insight into meaningful, sustained change Build structured, multi-session treatment plans that support long-term therapeutic outcomes Navigate ethical considerations, scope of practice, and risk management in real-world settings Assess clinician readiness and develop a grounded, effective therapeutic stance

This training is highly experiential. You will engage in: Dyad and small group practice Real-time therapeutic exercises Guided simulations of altered state work Integration practice and case-based application The focus is not just on understanding the model — but on developing the felt sense, timing, and confidence required to apply it in the room.
