Sacramento Ketamine Psychotherapy

12/16/2023

Hello Folks,
Many of you were heartbroken with the news that Matthew Perry died. It is a tragedy. Today, the autopsy report was released and it appears he died of "acute effects of Ketamine." It appears the high dose of Ketamine (a dissociative anesthetic) was taken before getting into a swimming pool where he drowned. While, by report, he did receive a Ketamine infusion for depression and anxiety (which has risks, though minimal), his last supervised Ketamine infusion was 1.5 weeks before his death. Ketamine is a fast acting medication that has a short half life of about 2-4 hours. What that means is that Matthew Perry ingested Ketamine outside the protocols of established supervised treatment and drowned. This is truly tragic, but not the result of having Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy. If you have received Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy at The Attach Place, I want to put your fears and questions at ease. I will restate it. Matthew Perry ingested Ketamine outside the establish supervised Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy protocol and it cost him his life. Ketamine is a serious Schedule 3 controlled substance. It should only be taken as prescribed by a medical professional and supervised during treatment by a licensed mental health professional. Any other form of Ketamine use is illegal and can be fatal, as it was in this case. If you have questions or concerns, please contact me at ce@attachplace.com. I want to support you to understand the risks and benefits.

Change the toxic stress that may be poisoning your family life with a Self-care Regimen for yourself and a daily Felt Safety diet for your child. This is what we do in the Attach Place. Contact us today https://attachplace.com/
Felt Safety Diet:
1. First and foremost: Well regulated parents who have an established Self-care Regimen.
2. A slow pace. Pretend you live in a small sleepy town where no one feels the need to speed. Then, don't speed, rush, hustle, bustle, race, multi-task, or try to live three lives at once.
3. Attune to your child's needs for connection, engagement, attention, playfulness. Play with your children. Watching them play is not the same thing.
4. Lose the concept of punishment and consequences. Use structure and gentle correction instead. If you use punishment and consequences, your child will fear you while continuing to do the things you don't want them to do.
5. Set the behavior bar low, so your child is successful. Praise like crazy for achieving it. Setting the bar too high will cause behavior like giving up, throwing in the towel, defiance, opposition, or not even trying.
6. Accept your child for who they are, rather than for whom you wish they were. This is a big one. Stop working so hard to make them different. Imagine someone doing that to you every day, all day.
7. Never forget that your child probably has some kind of sensory integration issue because children from difficult beginnings usually do. Give them a steady schedule (every two hours) of physicality, healthy food/snacks and big hydration.
8. Finally, work to insure your child's school is trauma informed, so your child isn't inadvertently emotionally harmed.
