Description
PRATI’s End-of-Life & Existential Distress Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) Training builds on our foundational KAP Training course by providing practitioners with the clinical skills they need to support end of life (EOL), existential distress, and palliative care patients and their families. Our program incorporates practical skills, clinical research, and hands-on experience with supported ketamine experiences to inform and empower you in this emerging field. This unique training provides a grounding in the use of KAP to support EOL and existential distress concerns and will serve as a foundation for work with other psychedelics (specifically psilocybin once legally available).
PRATI’s immersive training approach combines didactic presentations with experiential components in a retreat-style setting. The training experience involves work in dyads as well as large and small groups, offering a variety of opportunities for connection and learning. Over the four days, we will co-create a container for deep personal and professional growth supported by PRATI’s expert faculty and catalyzed by your own exploration of psychedelic medicine in the context of death and existential distress. As group cohesion and safety is a vital component of the training, we require all participants to stay on-site at the venue throughout the duration of the course.
This unique program will build on and add to participants’ foundational knowledge of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. You will gain practical skills and hands-on knowledge including:
Two optional ketamine experiences supported by a fellow participant and faculty (contingent upon medical approval)
Existential and EOL concerns
Theory and practice of working with grief and loss
Guiding patients and their families through the EOL journey
Preparation and integration in end-of-life work
Personal and professional explorations of grief
Curation of the death experience
Exploration of belief systems around loss and death
Discussion of death rituals and ceremonial practices
Understanding clinical care and family support systems at EOL and in the palliative care setting
Roles of spirituality and religion to explore impermanence and non-attachment for caregivers, patients, families, and clinicians
Skills on facing death and broken relationships as a gateway to end-of-life planning
Community building and networking opportunities
