Ketamine Group Therapy in Tampa

MONTHLY ONE-DAY KETAMINE GROUP THERAPY RETREATS

(For Florida residents only.)

Ketamine-assisted group therapy provides the three most important parts of ketamine therapy; set, setting, and integration.

Set” is your mindset and the completion of physical preparations (bodyset) necessary for going into the ketamine experience. In this group, participants will spend some time sharing what brings them to the experience, their goals, and what they want to gain from it.

Setting” is just what it sounds like. The setting in which you are embarking on this experience. In this case, the group is held at my office in Tampa. Participants are asked to wear comfortable clothing. During your experience you will be reclining on a cushioned floor mattress with a pillow and blanket, and wearing eyeshades. Music will be played over the speakers in the office. The ketamine experience is a restful time of dream-like internal reflection which lasts about 2 hours.

Integration” is the time when participants will share their impressions and make connections between what they saw or understood during their experience and their “real” life. This is a non-linear process, so hearing how others make sense of their own experiences can help you make sense of yours.

WHY KETAMINE-ASSISTED GROUP THERAPY?

The main benefit of ketamine assisted therapy in a group is the synergy you experience with the other members. In a group, you are likely to become aware of questions you never thought to ask, or hear answers to questions you’ve been wondering about. It’s also great to feel that you’re not alone, and that others are going through similar struggles. The camaraderie of the group can be very healing.

In addition, group therapy is much less expensive than individual sessions. And this ketamine-assisted therapy group comes with discounts if you sign up for more than one session. A standard starting protocol for ketamine therapy is 6 sessions.

WHY KETAMINE?

In a nutshell, here are the basics:

  • Ketamine has a stellar safety profile for respiratory and cardiovascular function.
  • Ketamine diminishes pain.
  • Ketamine is non-toxic.
  • Ketamine facilitates the elimination of chronic inflammation and physical discomforts at the heart of many mental-health struggles.
  • Ketamine induces a brain state that makes learning new things easier (and, well, learning new things is at the heart of any lasting change in life)

Leah Benson has been in practice since 2001, specializing in depth psychology and somatic work. These two modalities make an excellent springboard into the psychedelic realm of ketamine-assisted therapy. After having her own experiences and training with mental health doses of ketamine, in 2020 she began providing ketamine-assisted psychotherapy for her patients. Whether you do individual sessions or groups, it is important for your therapist to understand what you’re going through and guide you accordingly.

The Beginner’s Guide to Ketamine Therapy for Mental Health

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy

Imagine you could take a medically ordered prescription and an afternoon off for a temporarily mind-altering experience. By doing this once a week for several weeks, you might dramatically increase the effectiveness of your psychotherapy. It would have no medical risk, wouldn’t cost a lot (comparatively speaking) and might even save time and money by speeding the therapeutic process. During the experience, a friend would be with you for safety and support. Later, you would discuss each experience with your therapist to ensure you fully integrated what you’d gone through.

Would you do it?

The goal of this book is to help you decide.
