This training blends ketamine assisted psychotherapy (KAP) with Internal Family Systems (IFS) to provide clinicians with a map to support clients and patients through altered consciousness therapy. Ketamine enhanced Internal Family Systems (KIFS) will instruct clinicians in KIFS specific preparation for medicine work, therapeutic support, anchoring, and integrated embodiment. During this experience, participants will learn the basics of IFS, translate the IFS paradigm from ordinary consciousness into a map for medicine work, gain a foundational understanding of ketamine as a supportive medicine for psychological exploration, and practice facilitating ketamine enhanced IFS sessions as well as dive into the medicine to support your own internal processing. Participants will also learn about the ethics of altered consciousness psychotherapy and best practices for set, setting, and integration.
This experience is part professional learning and part personal retreat. We welcome you to bring your curiosity to get to know and care for your internal family more fully. Ketamine can be thought of as WD-40 (helps get stuck things unstuck 🙂 ) for protectors which allows them to relax. During this window of time, we are granted greater access to parts that are often out of reach of Self energy that supports and nourishes all within our inner world.
In this small group learning retreat, all parts of you are welcome! The limited number of participants allows us to support your professional learning as well as your personal journey. This training retreat will include didactic learning, personal medicine experiences, practice facilitating ketamine enhanced IFS, and deepening your integration practices.
