Sunny Strasburg, LMFT, has created specific protocols incorporating EMDR with Ketamine Assisted Therapy. Using ketamine at a midrange and sub- anesthetic dose to compliment the eight phases of the EMDR protocol can amplify the effectiveness of trauma treatment. While therapists must be specifically trained in psychedelic assisted therapy as well as EMDR, this presentation will provide an overview of this novel approach and give attendees an introduction to this exciting and synergistic approach to trauma therapy.

TW: Today we're exploring a topic that may be triggering to some listeners. While ketamine-assisted therapy can be a great option for treating depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, and even postpartum depression, this discussion may be triggering if you've struggled with substance use in the past. I want to make sure that everyone is prepared before we dive in -- if there's even a chance that this topic could trigger you, skip it, and we'll reconnect on the next episode. Is ketamine-assisted therapy safe? Can everyone benefit from ketamine treatments? In this episode, Lana talks with Dr. Kate Daly, the Medical Director of Plus by APN. They discuss the combat origins of ketamine therapy, how ketamine has evolved to treat depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, pain, trauma, and more, plus possible side effects and common misconceptions. They clarify the differences between ketamine as a drug of misuse versus therapeutic applications in a clinical environment and share more about the treatment options and what to expect from ketamine-assisted therapy.

In this free e-book, Bessel van der Kolk, Pat Ogden, Ruth Lanius, and Peter Levine will give you some of their most effective interventions to help clients heal from trauma: https://www.nicabm.com/join-treating-trauma/?del=YTOrganicFunnel Peter Levine, PhD, offers 2 body-oriented techniques that clients can use to make themselves feel safe outside of your session. These are simple methods that you can immediately add to your toolbox for the treatment of trauma. There are several psychotherapy techniques that can help clients with a trauma history feel more secure. But the problem is, the ring of safety which we create in our office can often disappear once the client steps out the door. In this video, Dr. Levine will use the principles of somatic experiencing in two effective strategies your client can use to self-regulate, any place, any time. This is important. Because one of the first things we need to do for clients who have experienced trauma is to resource them. We need to help them learn self-soothing tools for the times when they feel threatened. This alone can be one of the most critical steps for healing trauma. The somatic techniques Peter Levine offers in this video can help your client if they struggle with sleeplessness or nightmares. They can also help to calm negative feelings and give the client a sense of boundary within their body.
