I’m sad to be missing everyone at this year, but I’m happy to report I’m still spreading insight and embarking on ways to support the need of depth psychology in the psychedelic space.

As the field of psychedelic therapy expands I find it imperative for therapists to know and learn ways of tending to the imaginal, the archetypal, and the depths that are unearthed through psychedelic inquiry.

The therapist’s chair. Thomas Moore writes a whole chapter unpacking the ways for which we can find and encourage enchantment through this seat. He states of therapy, “It’s full of tears and struggle on everyone’s part, but pain is not incommensurate with enchantment, and in fact life’s charm is revealed only through the initiation of suffering.”

I’ve been hit hard with the truth we all know which is that sitting in the therapist’s chair doesn’t arm us from our own pain, it’s not a shield. Moore articulates there are struggles on everyone’s part. As therapists we do our best to put our personal pain in a container so we can be there for the soul that sits in front of us. For the length of 60 min our suffering sits in a heart shaped box most likely bridging a deeper empathic connection to the work unfolding in the room. And sometimes this is more challenging than others. Personally, I’ve recently been reinitiated into grief’s domain. Where I can attest that no matter how many books on grief line my bookshelf, no matter how much I know about the neurobiology of attachment, I’m gutted. A physical aching of pain that only changes, but doesn’t just go away. And interestingly enough sitting in the seat of the therapist’s chair has been a safe landing spot for me in this time. Perhaps it’s because the best friend of mine who I’m now trying to learn to connect with in a new way was the ultimate boss babe. In the depth of my sorrow I hear her reminding me to get up and shine my light.
Synchronistically, put out a podcast on loss the week of my deepest despair. In it Dr. Mary-Frances O’Connor encourages of grieving, “So it is stressful, but the capacity to oscillate back and forth between dealing with the loss of this loved person and restoring a meaningful life, being able to go back and forth is actually the sign of health.” This quote along with all the metaphors of waves, gardening, and enchantment of how grief changes color, etc, have helped me to feel ok about the times I’m hit with the inevitable tears. This journey of being human is never simple or easy no matter what chair you sit in. Sending each of you love as you navigate it all. 💜

In the midst of researching and writing about the staggering statistics of people who walk away having experienced a traumatic birth I’m feeling called to create a space to honor the rite of passage that is motherhood.

To Name the Mother is a therapeutic group that brings together a holistic blend of yoga, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, and self-created ritual to support mothers in reclaiming their identities and healing deeply. This sacred space invites participants to nurture body, mind, and spirit through practices designed to guide mothers back to this new version of themselves, helping to navigate the challenges of motherhood while rediscovering inner strength and peace.
In this intimate group, we will engage in transformative practices that promote emotional healing and self-discovery. Through yoga, self created ritual, and the profound therapeutic effects of ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, you’ll find a supportive community of mothers who are walking this path with you. Whether you are seeking emotional release, trauma healing, or simply a space to reconnect with your true self, To Name the Mother offers a compassionate, safe, and empowering environment for you to explore your personal journey. Join us in reclaiming your power, nurturing your spirit, and naming the mother within.

The group will run July-December and is open to four participants. It will include a once a month preparation/integration session and once a month medicine session. Please email therapy@lindsaykkerr.com to enroll.

Can we tell each other more stories?!

Enjoy my rendition of The Five Blind Men and the Elephant as it relates to integration and awareness in psychotherapy.

Shout out to my office mate and to who I name drop as both excellent sources of inspiration.

I’m traversing the in between space. I’m guessing so are many of you. Living in a college town, as well as,having a kid this time of year seems to invite this part of the dance. The betwix and between is also the subject of most of my writing. A space that can often in our linear myth cause a bit of discomfort. When I’m no longer there, but also not yet.

For me this applies to the shifts in the way I practice. No longer utilizing IM or IV ketamine, but leaning into all that has to offer. What a great teacher ketam!ne is on navigating the liminal. It’s a deep opportunity for reflection. As I look forward to working with my clients with lozenges I’m reminded of the way medicine shows up often unexpectedly but nonetheless profound. For instance, when a blood pressure reading doesn’t allow for a ketamine session, but how it ushers that individual into a health journey. Or how even a preparation session brings more clarity around intentional living.

Perhaps one reason I delight in the observation of liminality is how it invites our perceptive quality into the imaginal. Like the goo before becoming a butterfly this space is vulnerable. During the liminal space ritual provides us an opportunity to feel into our shared humanity. Stripped of our labels we might better understand our oneness.

If you’re navigating a transition my hopes for you are that you’re finding daily rituals to honor this necessary rebirth. And if you feel called and ready to practice with kap as an honoring of your evolution I’d love to hold this sacred space alongside you.

I’m coming out of a beautifully inspired weekend after the sweet Sphere-filled serenades from 🌹

I always find energy to step back profoundly into my life after an opportunity for music therapy. And I’m happy to share today feels no different. Which leaves me inclined to announce some movement taking place for me professionally. Sadly, last month closed after 5 amazing years of operation. I feel deeply grateful for the growth I witnessed in each person who stepped through our doors. And the friends I made along the way. We even published a few case studies (see pics). As with all change, when doors close, others open and I’m happy to be continuing to off KAP with ✨

If you’re interested in learning more about ketamine-assisted psychotherapy please reach out. I’m excited to continue to work with this profound tool in my therapy practice.

Living in this fractal universe I’m so grateful that this one calls me mom. Our mother is our portal to this life. You bravely came through her to bring your unique medicine to our Earth Mother at this time. And I’m so glad you did.

Wishing everyone a happy Mother’s Day. Regardless of how this one might land for you, just know Nikaya’s mom love you. (That’s me) 💕

It’s Maternal Mental Health week raising awareness around perinatal mental health. What does it say about our culture that 1 in 5 moms are struggling? This rite of passage is no easy transformation, but to do it alone makes it all the more impossible to navigate.

I chose this throwback picture because my yoga practice became or continued to be my rock during motherhood especially those early years when my life felt like it was crumbling (it was really being rebuilt).

I’m honored to volunteer and share this practice that benefits me once a month with an online mindfulness and parenting group. I’d love to share what helped me with you!

Just check out the website with if you’d like to join. The first Wednesday each month at 10am cst.

Mamas, you’re not alone. 💕

We are making our way through week 4 of The Artist’s Way with and last week we took a task prompt and made torn paper portraits. The question was: Who would you want to spend time with? I chose Ms. Fizzle bc my daughter had called me that the previous night while doing my hair, and also bc who wouldn’t want to hang out in the magic school bus with Ms. Fizzle. (Pic 1)

That got me thinking about psychologists I would have wanted to spend time with and of course James Hillman came to mind. Especially after listening to his lecture on his text A Blue Fire where he spends time talking about ceilings. It made me think of the ceilings in Syros in the building where I practiced yoga. (Pic 2) How the faces seemed to interplay with my practice. I thought of the feelings of being in a room with really high ceilings. And about rounded ceilings (pic 3. screenshot of ). How I’ve spent nights in conversations with my kid about our ceilings. The idea of scraping our popcorn ceiling, but also what and why popcorn ceiling. (Last pic)

To Hillman’s point he states: “This change of Soul can take place in our ordinary rooms.” We should look upward. That “The glance above ourselves….may be where the first bits of interior change takes place.” Part of his encouragement is for us to recognize the psychological importance of the external world.

To round my thoughts out…Soul probably wants us to do things like torn paper portraits and I think I’ll make one of Hillman (pic to come) and I’ll also ask us to look up and look in.

Curious, who would you want to spend time with, and why? And will you make a torn paper portrait of them and show me? 🤗🦎🚌

I’ve been thinking a lot about the notion of community. And how we hear there’s an epidemic of loneliness. It’s a paradoxical time where we find ourselves more connected than ever but feeling desperately alone.

As I reflect on the past few months for myself I’m reminded of the notion of micro-activism shared at the JSSS conference by Dr. Elizabeth Nelson. Her encouragement was that in a time of constant crisis our daily acts of activism….ie: leaving things nicer than we found them, can make a large difference.

It made me think about the opportunities of micro-connections and community. How fortunate I feel to have landed in moments of deep authentic relating. A family I sat by on the place. We held hands as we landed. A connection at a networking event which spawned daily texts. The feeling of dancing to live music with smiling deadheads at the sphere! These moments of connection that have formed and deepen my inner resource of belonging. They may not be the desired hours of continuity that deep relating often requires in order to land in safety, but the micro-moments help to inform the macro. The hour you land in authentic connecting can help provide a deep internal linking to authentic self connection making even the notion of authentic relating possible.

It’s a gift that psychedelic medicines encourage. That the numinous encounter of which psychedelics often provide link us back to our collective unity.

As we move into this new month it is my hope for us all to land in more moments of deep connection where all of us feel seen, welcomed, and celebrated.

You make life beautiful. Let’s do it together. 😍

Polycrisis abound and I’m hearing the cries of Hillman.

“The modern vision of ourselves and the world has stultified our imaginations.”

“What is needed is a revisioning, a fundamental shift of perspective out of a soulless predicament we call modern consciousness.”

As we set out on a new month and a new week and a new day perhaps we can invite in a little more soul.
