Brainspotting & Ketamine Workshop Details

Join us for an immersive two-day, in-person workshop designed for Brainspotting therapists seeking to integrate low-dose ketamine into their practice. This training explores how low-dose (psycholytic) ketamine can enhance Brainspotting sessions as well as how Brainspotting can be used for preparation and integration in transpersonal journeys.

Day one focuses on didactic learning and ethical considerations regarding ketamine and Brainspotting, while day two offers hands-on experiential learning, providing an understanding of ketamine’s synergistic role within the Brainspotting neuroexperiential model through live ketamine-assisted Brainspotting demonstrations and practicums.
