Ketamine & Embodiment — How KAP Helps You Come Back Into Your Body After Trauma
What if healing wasn’t about “thinking differently”…
but about feeling differently in your own body?

In today’s episode of Healing Is a Messy Bitch, Amy Wilhelmi, LMFT, CST, PhD (ABD), breaks down how Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) supports trauma survivors in reconnecting with their bodies, their sensations, and their internal cues — especially when dissociation, shutdown, or chronic self-protection patterns have been running the show for years.

This is not the hype version of ketamine.
This is the clinical, embodied, and relational truth about how ketamine opens the system for deeper therapeutic work.

You’ll learn:
Why trauma disconnects you from your body
How ketamine reduces rigid defensive patterns in the brain
Why embodiment is essential for long-term trauma healing
What happens in the nervous system during a KAP session
How EMDR, somatic work, and parts work integrate beautifully with ketamine
How ketamine can soften shame, fear, and dissociation so real intimacy becomes possible
What “felt safety” actually means — and how ketamine helps your body learn it
We’ll talk about the real neuroscience — NMDA receptor modulation, neuroplasticity, and the temporary loosening of protective networks — but in a way that makes sense for actual humans with actual trauma histories.

If you’ve ever said:
“I feel disconnected from my body.”
“I know I’m safe, but my body doesn’t believe me.”
“I can’t access emotion, pleasure, or presence.”
“I shut down when things get too real.”
“I want to feel more… but I can’t.”
This episode will speak directly to you.
Ketamine isn’t the healing.
It’s the window.
The opening.
The moment the body becomes available for the work you’ve been trying to do for years.
