About this listen

 It's been described as the most important breakthrough in mental health since the introduction of Prozac in 1986. And though once considered taboo, the psychedelic compound, ketamine, is experiencing a spectacular therapeutic comeback. When combined with psychotherapy, ketamine, which has been described as the being possibly the "most important breakthrough in antidepressant treatment in decades," has the potential to treat depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other debilitating mental illnesses-and change lives. Unlike antidepressants, which merely mask the pain, psychedelics that heal the brain are the future. Instead of putting Band-Aids on the brain, with Ketamine Assisted-Psychotherapy, you can actually repair the neurological damage caused by stress, anxiety, neglect, and abuse. In this book, best-selling author Dr. Mike Dow and Field Trip co-founder Ronan Levy provide a broad overview of where KAP came from, how it works, who it works for, and what to expect. More importantly, The Ketamine Breakthrough gives specific protocols for both practitioners and patients to follow in their work with KAP. This book contains hope for those diagnosed with treatment-resistant depression, plagued by trauma and frozen by fears. Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy has also proven effective for people with drug, alcohol, and behavioral addictions, existential depression, grief, and just feeling stuck. People with unresolved resentments, anger, and the everyday anxieties of modern life will also benefit. Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy has been enormously helpful with couples, groups, and veterans, which will be addressed in the book as well. This is the go-to manual for therapists and anyone who wants to learn more about Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy. For those undergoing this revolutionary protocol, it includes a session-by-session Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy Workbook to enhance and deepen the treatment.This audio product contains a PDF with supporting material, and the PDF is available to download.

I actually didn't mind the content about the Ketamine Assisted Pyschotherapy. But because it's such a sales book, mentioning the company they own hundreds of times throughout, it loses its integrity IN MY OPINION. That's just how I feel, someone else might feel differently, but in the current world when you spruik something as 'so great' I get suspicious and question how good the information is as it comes across bias because you have a conflict of interest to upsell your company and product.
KAP sounds like it could be really beneficial for a lot of people, I just would have preferred the book be more based in science and study results, with some anecdotal reporting mixed in.
Evidence the authors are opinionated and less in the science is when they mentioned eating meat is bad for you and grouped it with eating sugar and processed foods, like it's 2023 and you can do a bit of looking to see that meat is what we've eaten healthy for tens of thousands of years, is highly nutritious, and should not be blamed for the problems we see from sugars and processed food! Cars and industry are way worse for the environment yet the authors stated meat caused deforestation, like really, use your common sense. In maths it's called an error carried forward, it's just continuing the lies from biased vegan studies done where pizza and fast food (all highly processed) was called 'meat' and stupid stuff like that. I'm sick of hearing it and I'm calling out the stupidity of statements like these.
If they took the stupid meat comments out I would have given a higher rating, but because of the salesy approach the book has, I still couldn't give it a full 5 stars.
