The first step in Psychedelic Enhanced Psychotherapy (PEP) is the initial consultation. This includes being assessed by a physician and a Registered Psychotherapist to determine your suitability to undergo Ketamine- enhanced psychotherapy.

You and your therapist will engage in a treatment planning session to set you up for success during your PEP session.

The planning session will consist of an hour which will review relaxation, and mindfulness training and identification of short and long term goals.

After your consultation and treatment planning, your therapist will guide you through a Psychedelic Enhanced Psychotherapy Session.

Your session will last roughly 2.5 hours where you will self-administer the prescribed oral dose of ketamine.

For the first 20 to 45 minutes, you will listen to specifically selected music while wearing an eye mask. Following this, the talk therapy will begin. Your therapist will engage you in a psychotherapy session while transcribing notes to refer back for the integration session.

Your therapist will carefully analyze the notes from your PEP session using established psychological theories.

Modalities used are insight-orientated, cognitive behavioural therapy, and grounding theory.

Your therapist will extract key themes, core beliefs, and stimulus- response associations and present you with a summary.

This step of the TRIP Protocol is integration which often happens over multiple sessions.

Here you will share your reflections, thoughts, and experience of PEP session.

Together you and your therapist will construct further interpretations of the experience and data.

This information will be used to inform behaviour modification strategies and ongoing psychotherapy leading to emotional, cognitive and behaviour changes.

The music is specifically selected for the Psychedelic Enhanced Psychotherapy experience.

The client will wear an eye mask on and off during the process.
