❤️ What does it look like to be more trauma-informed in everyday life? Heather Hamilton, LMHC shares a simple but powerful shift: slow down and listen.

Instead of jumping in to fix, offer space. Let people share—whether it’s joy, struggle, or something in between. Practicing active listening and truly holding space can make a meaningful difference in how supported someone feels.

Heather facilitates monthly KAP group sessions and leads group therapy for those navigating chronic pain.

What does a ketamine session actually feel like? 🧐
As Alessandra Licul, LMHC () shares, the experience varies from person to person. Some notice visual imagery, others feel a deep physical calm. A common thread? A more peaceful, open state where thoughts feel freer and less reactive.

☮️ Many describe it as calm and dreamlike. At times, unprocessed memories or emotions may arise, but in a supported, medically supervised setting, they’re often easier to approach with greater clarity and less distress.

Who is Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy a good fit for—and when might it not be the right time? 🧐

Alicia Martin, LMSW () shares how KAP can be especially helpful for those who feel stuck, have trauma histories, or notice rigid patterns and an overactive nervous system. It works by helping soften defenses and create space for new perspectives. That said, if someone is in active crisis or lacks stability, the priority is first building safety and grounding before engaging in this work.

We’re currently enrolling for Emerging Whole—a ketamine-assisted therapy group designed for individuals healing from narcissistic harm and relational trauma. 💙

🧘‍♀️This group offers a grounded, relational space to rebuild self-trust, reconnect with your identity, and begin shifting patterns shaped by these experiences. Through a structured combination of psychotherapy and ketamine-assisted sessions, the work supports deeper emotional processing, softens rigid self-narratives, and creates space for new ways of relating to yourself and others.

How can you take care of yourself between EMDR sessions?
Darcy Montana, MHC-LP explains that EMDR can bring up strong emotions, and that’s part of the healing process. Between sessions, small acts of care can make a meaningful difference: take a little extra time in the shower, go for a walk, spend time with people you trust, and be patient with yourself.
