How does EMDR enhance Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy?
EMDR helps enhance Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy by providing a structured method to process traumatic memories and emotional responses and integrate these experiences, allowing for quicker resolution of trauma-related symptoms and potentially reducing the overall duration of therapy needed to achieve desired outcomes. Where psychedelics induce profound emotional and cognitive experiences, EMDR provide a complementary framework to process these experiences efficiently and integrate the insights gained during psychedelic sessions more rapidly.
