Intro to Psychedelic Therapy

Psychedelic literally means “clear mind” in Latin. Psychedelic therapy is using a psychedelic compound to induce a non-ordinary state of consciousness that often leads to profound insights, combined with therapeutic techniques.

Psychedelic therapy can be done with many different psychedelics, however, we focus specifically on ketamine-assisted therapy (KAT).The state of consciousness most commonly associated with KAT is described as an out of body experience due to ketamine’s dissociative properties. A single KAT session can lift symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD and more. Psychedelic experiences can induce a sense of:

  • Timelessness: An altered or distorted sense of time
  • Creativity: Novel ways of thinking
  • Deep connection: Strong feeling of unity to others or the world
  • Selflessness: An altered experience of the self
  • Phenomena

Therapeutic ketamine sessions have the potential to induce incredible breakthroughs in much less time than traditional talk therapy. We wrap the psychedelic experience with coaching inspired by proven therapeutic techniques to help you mentally prepare for your experience and integrate your insights following each session to create longer lasting positive behavior change. 

For some, ketamine might make you feel introspective and introverted. Others may feel an urge to talk and share their journey aloud. We offer virtually guided ketamine sessions that allow each of our members to have the session experience that's right for them.

Curious to see if ketamine can support your mental health journey. Fill out a brief assessment and connect with a Curio clinician.
