Ketamine Assisted Therapy offers a powerful complement to IFS work by creating a unique window of opportunity for deeper healing. During ketamine sessions, the medicine temporarily relaxes the protective parts that normally guard your system—those parts that might manifest as inner critics, people-pleasers, or controllers. As these protectors step back, you gain enhanced access to your Self-energy—that wise, compassionate core within you. In this expanded state, your Self can more easily connect with and understand your protective parts, building trust and positive relationships with them. This collaborative approach allows for gentler access to wounded parts that may have been difficult to reach through traditional therapy alone. By combining ketamine's neuroplasticity-enhancing properties with IFS principles, we create a safe container for profound transformation where healing can occur with greater ease and compassion.
