Overview of the Training

This 2-day, 16-hour live training provides clinicians with a comprehensive framework for delivering the Enamory Model of Ketamine-Assisted Couple Therapy (KAP). Across 5 modules (Background, Assessment, Feedback & Preparation, Dosing, and Integration), participants will be introduced to the theoretical foundations of couples’ KAP and the evidence base supporting the integration of ketamine with couple therapy.

The training outlines how ketamine’s unique mechanisms can be applied to relational contexts. Special emphasis is placed on learning a model of individual & conjoint assessment with goal of identifying recurring interactional patterns that are subsequently used to inform case formulation and guide decisions for KAP treatment. We explore multiple dosing models and demonstrate how to tailor dosing choices based on relational goals, relational patterns, and safety considerations. Subsequent exploration of dyadic integration strategies inform therapists on how to help partners process ketamine experiences together, soften into vulnerable emotions, and shift entrenched relational patterns.

Throughout this interactive training, participants will participate in experiential activities and watch live case demonstrations to help them acquire practice skills necessary to be an effective couple KAP provider. After completion of this training, participants will be equipped with knowledge, skills, and strategies grounded in peer-reviewed evidence, enabling them to effectively bring couple KAP into their practice regardless of theoretical orientation.
