Course Description

BTT Professional Training is a three-day course designed to teach mental health care providers the basics of Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). The course is instructed by Dr Dawn DeCunha, a clinical psychologist with decades of experience in trauma-informed assessment and treatment.

Participants will learn how to safely screen patients, explain the process, provide basic education about how ketamine works on the brain, develop a ‘set’ or intention for the journey, teach and practice several ‘expanded state’ skills to manage potential distress, establish clients’ self-care routine, prepare the patient for their ketamine journey, safely conduct a journey online, assist patients through distress moments during the dose session, manage disappointments, help integrate the experience, help establish a sustainable after-care routine, facilitate an integration circle, and specify therapist’s own self-care routine.

Course eligibility is open to psychologists, clinical therapists such as RP’s, SW’s, and other Regulated Healthcare Professionals who have a valid license in their respective colleges. BTT Professional Training provides a good start to learning the basics of psychedelic psychotherapy, with additional medical training needed for working with patients undergoing IV or IM Ketamine treatments in a medical clinic.

About Instructor

Tatayo (“Fruit of the Wind”) first arrived in Gabon in 1971 at the age of 21 and became a Gabonese citizen. In 1979, he became the first white person to be initiated into the Bwiti Fang tradition in Gabon. In 1994, he was initiated into the Misokko tradition. As a guide for numerous expeditions and missions, including those of National Geographic, the BBC, and others, Tatayo is considered to have “opened the door” to westerners in Gabon.
