Jennifer talks us through the therapeutic use of ketamine in her practice:

• The history of ketamine as an anaesthetic, and at very low doses its off-label uses for treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, eating disorders and OCD.
• The potential for heart opened, expanded states through the use of psychedelics, including ketamine
• How her experiences treating both community and individuals suffering with PTSD led her to CRM as a uniquely effective mind-body modality
• The potential ability of ketamine-assisted therapy to expedite the healing in profound ways
• The requirement for trust, attunement and safety, including neurobiological safety developed through the CRM work.
• How ketamine assists openness and the dropping away of social defences, and protector parts, allowing  self observation and deep shifts
• The necessity for therapeutic integration and consolidation of the new realisations and connections from the expanded state back into everyday life
