How can ketamine integration coaching help?
Ketamine therapy has been making waves, and rightfully so. It has been around for many years. Ketamine was originally approved by the FDA for use as an anesthetic in 1970. It has long been known to be a safer alternative to other anesthetics. It was only in recent years that doctors discovered its anti-depressive properties.
It has since been used in the treatment of depression and other mental health disorders. Research has shown ketamine is effective in treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, pain, and more. While it has had great success, there is still more research regarding best practices being done. That being said, one thing has become clear from the research. Ketamine therapy combined with ketamine integration coaching is more effective in achieving lasting positive results.
Neuroplastic benefits
The reason for ketamine’s ability to create positive changes in mental health when combined with integration coaching partly comes from the utilization of neuroplastic effects. Ketamine infusions create neuroplasticity in the brain. What this means is that your brain becomes more malleable in the time during and shortly after your infusions.
The benefit of that is the ability to reframe old ways of thinking and change negative thought patterns. This neuroplasticity allows you to reshape the way you think about or relate to certain things. You can take advantage of these neuroplastic benefits with the help of ketamine integration coaching. This, in turn, can provide you with positive changes in thought patterns, attitudes, and behaviors. All of which can be conducive to the changes you seek in your mental health. Ketamine alone can have lasting positive benefits, but the changes in mindset and thought patterns can be the factor that can create the long term results you’re seeking.
Gaining insights
You may receive insights in addition to the neuroplastic benefits during your ketamine infusions. These insights can feel very powerful in the moment. However, if these insights are not integrated, they may soon fade. Integration is the process of taking the lessons learned during your experience and applying them to your daily life. Doing this will provide you with additional benefits. These benefits will go beyond what you experience from the ketamine infusions alone. Gaining insights Insights alone without action steps to make changes in your life can be pointless. Making the necessary changes in order to see the results you are seeking is the key to real, lasting benefits.
Ketamine Integration Coaching
Sometimes the process of integration can be challenging. Having an integration coach to assist you during this process can be extremely beneficial. Ketamine integration coaching is an investment. This further ensures the success of your treatment. Integration coaches are trained to assist you throughout your entire ketamine treatment.
An integration coach can help you prepare for your treatment and set intentions. They can also give you tools to help you remain calm and open during your infusions. Additionally, they can help you identify insights gained after your treatment and apply them to your daily life. Lastly, an integration coach can help with goal setting and planning.
Often times, there are environmental, mindset, or lifestyle factors that contribute to mental health disorders such as anxiety and depression. A coach can look at all of these factors with you. Together, you will come up with action steps to help you become the person you would truly like to be. All of this support can be the key to unlocking the full potential of your ketamine therapy. Don’t let your treatment fall flat. Invest in yourself with ketamine integration coaching!
