Course Description

The Ketamine and Trauma Treatment Series is a course offered by Psychedelics Today and Polaris Insight Center that explores the ethical and compassionate uses of ketamine-assisted therapy (KAP) to support optimal outcomes in treating trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

The course is led by Kyle Buller and Veronika Gold, who will host trauma and KAP experts from across the United States to discuss using KAP in trauma treatment. The course covers a range of topics, including the use of different dosages of ketamine to address a scope of patients’ needs, treatment approaches that focus on reparation and regulation of the nervous system, development of self-compassion, and the replacement of fight-flight-freeze responses with inquiry and curiosity, along with cognitive-emotional flexibility.

The course is self-study, and participants will have lifetime access to the video lectures. This course, Ketamine and Trauma Treatment, has been approved for 12 CE credits for Homestudy, allowing you to complete it on your own schedule.

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.
