LAY THE GROUNDWORK
Preparing for the Journey
OVERVIEW
Setting clear intentions and a healing vision are essential for getting the most out of ketamine therapy for sexual trauma recovery. Think of them as your compass and destination. This course offers grounding exercises and tools to create your own personal toolkit to manage any difficult emotions that arise during your healing journey. Take some time to explore these tools and find what works best for you.
SESSION 1
Confronting The Shadows Of Shame
OVERVIEW
This section explores shame, a common but difficult emotion. Shame can make you feel like you're unworthy of love and connection. To better understand shame and develop resilience, you can review preparation tips, watch these videos and explore journal prompts to focus your intention.
SESSION 2
Releasing The Burdens Of Misplaced Guilt & Self-Blame
OVERVIEW
Guilt can be a positive force, guiding our moral compass and motivating us to be better people. However, it's important to distinguish between healthy guilt and misplaced guilt, especially for survivors of sexual abuse.
SESSION 3
Defeating The Dragons Of Escapism, Avoidance & Addiction
OVERVIEW
Sexual trauma can leave you using coping mechanisms that may feel helpful in the moment, but can actually hinder long-term healing. Escapism, avoidance, and addiction can create dependence and stop you from processing the trauma. If you're struggling, you're not alone.
SESSION 4
Rebuilding Bridges From Isolation And Withdrawal
OVERVIEW
Sexual trauma can trigger withdrawal, a natural response to protect yourself. While temporary withdrawal is healthy, it can become isolating and hinder healing. Learn more about withdrawal types, watch the video and explore journal prompts to refocus your intention and move forward.
SESSION 5
Building A Safe Haven: Trust & Safety
OVERVIEW
Trust is essential for healthy relationships but sexual trauma can make it difficult to trust again. Feeling safe and secure is key to rebuilding trust. Explore our resources to prepare for healing and rediscover trust.
SESSION 6
Facing The Fire Of Anger
OVERVIEW
Feeling angry after sexual trauma is completely normal. It stems from the violation, loss of control, and societal messages. To help process this anger, explore preparation tips, a helpful video, and journaling prompts to focus on healing and reclaiming your power.
SESSION 7
Unmasking PTSD and Triggers
OVERVIEW
Everyday encounters can trigger PTSD flashbacks, like landmines for the mind. These triggers aren't a sign of weakness, but a way to cope with past trauma. To navigate this journey, understanding and acknowledging your triggers is key. Learn more about defusing these triggers and reclaiming your path by reviewing our preparation tips, video, and journal prompts.
SESSION 8
Sexuality Revisited
OVERVIEW
Sexual trauma can mess with your arousal and lead to negative thoughts. The good news? Understanding your "arousal template" - the things that turn you on - can be a powerful tool for healing. Explore tips, watch a video, and use journal prompts to identify your triggers and build a healthier sexual experience.
BONUS SESSION
Embracing Forgiveness and Acceptance
OVERVIEW
Forgiveness and acceptance are often misunderstood, but they are powerful tools for healing. Forgiveness frees you from negativity, while acceptance allows you to acknowledge your experience without judgment. This path to healing is unique, but by exploring these concepts, you can begin to move forward.

I was nervous about signing up for this package, however after my first treatment with Danielle as my guide I was immediately at ease. Knowing that I was speaking to a fellow survivor made me feel that I was exactly where I needed to be. The journal prompts and meditations provided have helped immensely in organizing my thoughts and have prepared me for each session. I highly recommend this application in your life!

What Is ketamine and is it safe?
Ketamine is a legal medication, originally used for anesthesia. It was developed in the 1960s and was commonly used in the Vietnam war because it could be used in the field safely and effectively. Ketamine does not suppress the respiratory drive or paralyze muscles the way other anesthetics do, and its dissociative properties provide for rapid pain relief.
Ketamine has been used in mental health for more than 20 years, and as a result we know the medicine itself is extremely safe for most individuals. It’s also used as an off-label medication for pain and a variety of mental health conditions.
Is Ketamine Therapy At Home Safe?
We take many steps to ensure the safety, comfort, and success of your ketamine therapy program. Your Clinician will ensure you are the right fit, prescribed an appropriate dose, and be available for ongoing support alongside your guide. The ketamine experience is generally calm, positive, and peaceful as reported by clients, and ketamine has been used safely in clinical and therapeutic contexts for several decades.In studies fewer than 5% reported any side effects, while less than 1% reported worsening symptoms. According to the World Health Organization: Ketamine, “Ketamine is extremely safe because, unlike other anesthetic agents, it does not depress breathing or blood pressure.”
