The National Institutes of Health recognizes ketamine as an effective treatment for Complex Trauma (C-PTSD). It works uniquely by calming the brain’s fear and rumination centers, specifically the default mode network, while also fostering neuroplasticity. For trauma survivors, ketamine can provide swift relief from intense symptoms such as hyperarousal, flashbacks, and depression that resists traditional treatments.
Although ketamine is occasionally given solely through infusions to treat depression, its most beneficial use for complex trauma is when combined with integrative therapies, such as the approach we specialize in at Empathy Grove.
