The energy you give is the energy you attract.
In ketamine therapy, we see this play out in real time. A calmer, safer inner state often brings softer, more connected experiences. The medicine helps quiet the storm so your system can shift into openness and healing.

It’s not about “fixing” yourselfit’s about creating the right conditions inside and around you so change feels possible.

What kind of energy are you calling in today?

Your nervous system is the gatekeeper of healing.
If it’s stuck in fight, flight, or freeze, no psychedelic medicine can do the work it’s meant to because survival mode blocks safety, and safety is where healing begins.

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) isn’t about bypassing those defenses. Instead, it creates a pause a window where your body can soften, your mind can open, and therapy can move deeper.

That’s why preparation matters. Breathwork, grounding, and trust with your therapist help your body feel safe enough for the medicine to support not overwhelm you.

At The Ko-Op, we put safety first. Because healing doesn’t happen when you’re bracing for danger. It happens when your nervous system finally feels, “I am safe now.”

Most people focus on the psychedelic session itself. But the real change doesn’t happen in the medicine space it happens after.

That’s what integration is about.
After a ketamine or psychedelic experience, clients often face:
Intense emotions or memories resurfacing
Big insights that feel hard to act on
Confusion about what the experience “means”

Integration helps transform that raw material into growth. It’s where therapy guides clients to:
✅ Create emotional safety after the journey
✅ Turn insights into grounded changes in daily life
✅ Prevent retraumatization by processing difficult material with care
✅ Build long-term healing, not just short-term relief

As psychedelic therapy expands, integration has become a core skill for clinicians. It’s not optional. It’s what makes the difference between a powerful trip and a lasting transformation.

At The Ko-Op, we train clinicians to meet this moment with skill, ethics, and presence. Because healing doesn’t end when the medicine wears off it begins there..

Psychedelics can open a door.
But the real shift happens in how we choose to live once it’s open.

It’s not the session alone that changes us.
It’s the moments after when we meet ourselves with honesty, follow through on what matters, and practice the changes we felt were possible.

Integration is where insights become habits, and habits become a life that feels different.
That’s the work we hold space for at The Ko-Op.
