HEALING FROM WITHIN

What is KAP?

KAP is a research-supported therapeutic method in which clients take a medically prescribed dose of a psychedelic during sessions with their therapist.

This process can facilitate deep introspection and emotional breakthroughs that are sometimes more difficult to achieve with standard psychotherapy alone.

During sessions, therapists support clients through their experiences while under the influence of the medication, helping them explore and resolve underlying issues.

The overall goal of KAP is to enhance therapeutic outcomes by utilizing the medication's unique effects to accelerate emotional healing and cognitive restructuring.

HEALING IS POSSIBLE

KAP can help foster the change you've been seeking.

Heal from the Impacts of Trauma. KAP provides hope for those grappling with trauma's lasting scars. Through guided sessions, it offers a safe space to explore painful memories, gently unraveling their hold on the mind. With the medicine's unique ability to foster growth in the brain, you can gradually reclaim a sense of safety and empowerment as you navigate your healing journey.

Ease Depression and Anxiety. For many battling depression and anxiety, traditional treatments fall short. KAP offers a lifeline by providing more rapid relief and clarity. With a compassionate therapist by your side, it's more possible to delve into the roots of your emotional struggles, finding resilience and hope in the process.

Walk a Path of Personal Transformation. Beyond trauma and mood disorders, KAP offers promise for a wide range of psychological challenges. From addiction to existential distress, it opens doors to profound shifts in consciousness and behavior. With ongoing research, it holds the potential to revolutionize mental health care, offering new avenues to healing and wholeness for all.

How does KAP work?

KAP leverages the unique effects of psychedelic medicine to facilitate significant changes in the brain and enhance therapeutic outcomes. When safely administered in controlled doses, the medicine induces a state that temporarily alters activity in brain areas related to mood and perception. This disruption allows for a shift in neural circuits, often resulting in increased connectivity between different brain regions that can help break up entrenched negative thought patterns.

As you engage in therapy during this altered state, the medication can help you access and process deep-seated emotions and experiences more effectively. The goal is to harness these neurological changes to foster breakthroughs, emotional release, and a renewed sense of perspective, thereby supporting lasting improvements in your mental health.

What does a KAP session look like?

01

We'll prepare you for your journey.

You'll meet with your therapist to discuss your goals, trepidations, mental health history, treatment plan, and therapeutic intentions.
You'll receive a referral from your therapist to meet with a medical practitioner at Klearmind, who will ensure that you are an appropriate candidate for the treatment. If appropriate, you'll receive your medicine directly from Klearmind.
Your therapist will be a valued partner in this process as they pay close attention to your unique needs and help you feel well prepared for your journey.

02

We'll walk alongside you on a guided journey.

During a 2.5 to 3 hour session, we'll utilize the first hour to revisit your therapeutic intention and participate in pre-journey activities that you and your therapist discussed in your preparation session(s).
Within the second hour, you'll take the medicine and with the closely guided support of your therapist, you'll experience the effects for approximately 45-70 minutes.
As the effects of the medicine subside, you'll begin integrating the journey with your therapist through discussion of your experience.

03

We'll help you get the most out of your journey.

In a follow-up session(s), you'll continue discussing your experience with your therapist, gaining insights and meaning and developing actionable items such as setting goals, developing coping strategies, and addressing maladaptive thought patterns to help maximize the benefits of the medicine.
We'll revisit your therapeutic intention and treatment plan, helping ensure that you are moving toward your goals.
If additional KAP treatments are planned, you'll begin preparing for your next guided journey.

The duration of effects can vary depending on individual factors and the specific condition being treated. Some patients experience immediate relief following a single session, while others may require multiple sessions to achieve sustained improvement. Maintenance sessions may also be recommended to prolong the benefits of treatment. In general, it is recommended that you plan for 6-8 sessions to experience significant relief.

After a KAP session, you might experience a range of emotions and sensations. Some people feel a sense of clarity, emotional release, or a shift in perspective as a result of the therapeutic process. It's common to have a feeling of detachment or introspection during and immediately after the session. You may also experience some temporary disorientation or mild physical effects, which usually subside shortly after the session ends. Many individuals report feeling a heightened sense of relief or insight in the days following the session, but it's important to discuss any specific feelings or concerns with your therapist to ensure a supportive and effective therapeutic experience.
