Ketamine for Repressed Childhood Trauma?
I've experienced significant trauma in my life (all the kinds of abuse) but there's a lot of it I've buried - I don't remember most of my childhood. Whenever I've had altered state experiences before, it's been very overwhelming and I sort of blew through my nervous system. The last few years I've just done therapy instead (somatic, EMDR, IFS, etc) and yet there is still SO much more to work through. So I've been feeling called to do a series of 6 IV sessions in tandem with integration therapy. Thoughts on whether ket is a good method for complex childhood trauma (much of which is repressed)? Part of me just wants to get to the core already rather than the slow march through constant therapy, but part of me is afraid of what memories may come up and being overwhelmed, a concern my therapist shares (she recommends smaller doses during therapy sessions... but honestly I'm not sure that will get to what I'm carrying any time in the next decade....). Appreciate thoughts, thank you.
