Psychedelic Therapy

At SunshineInfusion.com, psychedelic therapy encompasses treatments that utilize substances like ketamine to induce altered states of consciousness. These sessions are designed to promote profound personal growth and emotional healing, all within a safe and controlled environment.

Intravenous (IV) Ketamine

Intravenous ketamine, a cornerstone service at SunshineInfusion.com, involves the administration of ketamine directly into the bloodstream through an IV. This method ensures rapid absorption and immediate therapeutic effects, overseen by our skilled medical team to ensure your comfort and safety.

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)

Combining the therapeutic potential of ketamine with traditional psychotherapy, KAP at SunshineInfusion.com is a holistic approach to mental wellness. Our licensed therapists work closely with patients during their ketamine sessions to facilitate deeper insights and long-lasting healing.

Subanesthetic Dose

A subanesthetic dose refers to the lower dose of ketamine used in our therapeutic treatments at SunshineInfusion.com. Unlike higher doses used in surgical settings, these doses are carefully calibrated to induce the desired therapeutic effects without full sedation.

Neuroplasticity

Neuroplasticity, a key benefit of ketamine therapy at SunshineInfusion.com, refers to the brain’s ability to reorganize and form new neural connections. This adaptability is crucial for recovery from mental health conditions, helping patients develop healthier thought patterns and behaviors.

Dissociation

Dissociation is a state often experienced during ketamine therapy sessions at SunshineInfusion.com. This feeling of detachment from one’s thoughts and body can facilitate profound therapeutic breakthroughs, allowing patients to explore their emotions and memories from a new perspective.

Integration

Integration is the process of making sense of the experiences and insights gained during ketamine therapy. At SunshineInfusion.com, our team provides continuous support to help you incorporate these insights into your daily life, ensuring lasting benefits and holistic healing.

Set and Setting

At SunshineInfusion.com, we emphasize the importance of set (mindset) and setting (environment) in our ketamine therapy sessions. A positive mindset and a safe, comfortable environment are essential for a beneficial therapeutic experience, and our clinic is designed to provide both.

BDNF

BDNF stands for brain-derived neurotrophic factor, a protein found in the brain and body that helps regulate, heal, and promote the growth of new cells and synapses. BDNF plays a crucial role in synapse health, long-term memory, and emotional regulation. Often referred to as “fertilizer for the brain,” BDNF aids in developing new connections, repairing failing brain cells, and protecting healthy ones. Psychedelic experiences can increase BDNF levels, promoting a sense of mental flexibility.

Body Load

Body load refers to the specific physical or tactile sensations brought on by psychoactive drugs, especially psychedelics. It can be challenging or uncomfortable, involving feelings such as nausea or increased heart rate. At SunshineInfusion.com, we consider the body load of medicines when developing dosing protocols to ensure client safety and a comfortable, powerful experience.

Classical Psychedelics

“Classical” psychedelics include compounds like LSD, psilocybin (mushrooms), and N,N-DMT. These substances work on the serotonergic system, binding to the 5HT2A/B receptors. They reliably induce hallmarks of psychedelic experiences such as ego dissolution, altered sense of space/time, and novel insights. At SunshineInfusion.com, we focus on the therapeutic potential of these substances in a safe and controlled setting.
