Vanessa Hurr's Healing Journey: Finding Solace with Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy

Episode Overview

  • Vanessa's transformative experience with Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) after the loss of her brother to an overdose
  • The profound shift in grief and outlook on life through KAP sessions with licensed therapist Lacey Hamilton
  • Reframing grief and finding solace, joy, and a clear understanding of what's important
  • Exploring the power of KAP in healing from trauma and starting the recovery journey from any point
I felt so much more calm. I feel so much more settled. I feel like I have a very clear understanding again of what's important. It's almost like I feel like I must have been a stranger to so many other people before that hadn't known me and almost a stranger to myself in some aspects during that period of time.
After losing her brother to an overdose in April 2020, Vanessa Hurr found herself navigating the depths of grief and isolation. Describing herself as a 'high-functioning sad person', she threw herself into projects and a non-profit, hoping to outrun her pain. But nothing seemed to truly help. Enter Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). In this episode of 'The Courage to Change', Vanessa shares how this innovative treatment, facilitated by therapist Lacey Hamilton, transformed her life in just four sessions.
Through KAP, Vanessa experienced a shift that not only changed her perspective on her brother's death but also allowed her to find joy and love where there was once only sadness. This episode dives into the potential of KAP to reframe grief and offers a heartfelt look at how one can start the recovery journey from any point. If you've ever felt stuck in your sorrow or wondered about alternative therapies for trauma, Vanessa's story is a beacon of hope.
