Should You Try the Medicine Too? Considerations for Clinicians Entering KAP

Do you need to try the medicine yourself? It's one of the standard questions clinicians face when considering work in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. Karen's answer is yes. This excerpt from her larger training walks through why firsthand experience matters, and the considerations around when, how, and in what venues to have it.

For clinicians curious about KAP as a treatment model, it's also a chance to get a feel for how Karen approaches this work clinically — her framework, her thinking, her vibe — before investing in her larger training or supervision offerings.

From Karen L. Smith, MSS, LCSW — author of Prepare Yourself, Your Clients and Your Practice: A Step-by-Step Guide to Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, and clinical director of Full Living.
