Ketamine Dosing Approaches & Why Clients Respond Differently

A 3-hour, case-based workshop on dosing frameworks and why clients respond differently in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy.

Why do some clients respond differently to similar doses of ketamine? And how do you tell a medication response apart from nervous-system activation or therapeutic readiness?

This interactive workshop explores dosing frameworks and individual client response in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. Working through real-world clinical scenarios, you'll look at what shapes treatment response — preparation, nervous-system regulation, medication tolerance and therapeutic engagement. Through case discussion and practical exercises, you'll sharpen your ability to recognize response patterns, communicate clinical observations and contribute to collaborative treatment planning within your professional scope.

By the end of this workshop, you'll be able to:

• Identify factors that influence individual responses to ketamine-assisted therapy
• Recognize clinical considerations related to dosing protocols, titration and treatment tolerance
• Differentiate medication-related responses from factors tied to preparation, nervous-system regulation and therapeutic engagement
• Apply clinical reasoning to case scenarios involving unexpected or limited treatment responses
• Practise interdisciplinary communication that supports individualized treatment planning

Who it's for: PAT-trained clinicians working with, or preparing to work with, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy.
