Polaris Insight: Module 7, Advanced Workshop II on Ketamine-Assisted and Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapies

In this workshop, we continue to explore major themes in ketamine- and psychedelic- assisted therapy from prior modules, in order to support clinicians in improving both the quality of their clinical work as well as their own self-care.

We focus on additional special topics in the application of principles and practices of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapies as they relate to the topics of neurotheology (the intersection of spiritual practices and neurophysiology); ketamine and mystical experiences; the relationship between meditation, psychedelics, self-care and improved preparation phase interventions; and the dynamics of the therapy relationship with a particular emphasis on both the intersection of working with symbols and images and subtle intuition within a relational psychoanalytic theoretical perspective and approaches.
