Publisher's summary

It's been described as the most important breakthrough in mental health since the introduction of Prozac in 1986. And though once considered taboo, the psychedelic compound, ketamine, is experiencing a spectacular therapeutic comeback. When combined with psychotherapy, ketamine, which has been described as the being possibly the "most important breakthrough in antidepressant treatment in decades," has the potential to treat depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other debilitating mental illnesses-and change lives.

Unlike antidepressants, which merely mask the pain, psychedelics that heal the brain are the future. Instead of putting Band-Aids on the brain, with Ketamine Assisted-Psychotherapy, you can actually repair the neurological damage caused by stress, anxiety, neglect, and abuse. In this book, best-selling author Dr. Mike Dow and Field Trip co-founder Ronan Levy provide a broad overview of where KAP came from, how it works, who it works for, and what to expect. More importantly, The Ketamine Breakthrough gives specific protocols for both practitioners and patients to follow in their work with KAP.

This book contains hope for those diagnosed with treatment-resistant depression, plagued by trauma and frozen by fears. Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy has also proven effective for people with drug, alcohol, and behavioral addictions, existential depression, grief, and just feeling stuck. People with unresolved resentments, anger, and the everyday anxieties of modern life will also benefit. Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy has been enormously helpful with couples, groups, and veterans, which will be addressed in the book as well.

This is the go-to manual for therapists and anyone who wants to learn more about Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy. For those undergoing this revolutionary protocol, it includes a session-by-session Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy Workbook to enhance and deepen the treatment.

This audio product contains a PDF with supporting material, and the PDF is available to download.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic reviews

"Integrative medicine addresses mind, body, and spirit. The Ketamine Breakthrough's blueprint provides readers an opportunity for healing that is truly integrative." - Andrew Weil, M.D. #1 New York Times best-selling author of 8 Weeks to Optimal Health Holistic Gynecologist and international best-selling author of The Hormone Balance Bible

"The world needs more people who are led by Self. The Ketamine Breakthrough is for anyone who is ready to make this powerful shift. The protocol outlined in this book will help you greet all the parts of yourself with compassion and, by doing so, can help you to feel more whole." - Dr. Richard Schwartz, author of No Bad Parts, founder of Internal Family Systems

"Our tools for treating the virtual epidemic of mood disorders, including depression and anxiety, are profoundly limited. The Ketamine Breakthrough takes us to the leading edge of an exciting, new, and effective approach for these and other mental disorders—a therapy that is so desperately needed. This book provides an empowering revelation not just in terms of the scope of the problem, but also in terms of the promise for recovery." - David Perlmutter, M.D., #1 New York Times best-selling author, author of Drop Acid, board-certified neurologist

dissatisfied

This is a great intro book for people wanting to learn m
about KAP. I did and internship with a US clinic that provides KAP, so i already had most of this information and did not find it as informative as I was hoping for. I think the workbook questions would be beneficially for people who are actively engaged in this treatment, but again, it was not relevant to me.

I had a few frustrations including the way they villainize antidepressants. They are also very rarely discuss negatives of this treatment and focus on all the positives. It felt less scientific and more of a sales pitch. At one point they state “is ketamine for you? most likely.” This type of generalization and marketing as a Cure All made me uncomfortable as a health care professional.

Overall, if you want a beginner’s understanding of KAP, this is a good choice. I also want to repeat that I think the workbook questions are also great for providers or patients of this treatment.

Good basic guide

This is a good introduction to ketamine as a deeper way to understand oneself. Good protected way to first explore ketamine therapy before seeking it out.
