EMDR Regular Sessions

Problems EMDR can help with:

  • Depression
  • ​Stress and Anxiety
  • Addiction
  • ​Trauma/PTSD
  • ​Grief
  • ​Anger
  • ​Eating disorders
  • ​Bipolar disorder

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EDMR) is a type of psychotherapy which is commonly known for treating mental health conditions, such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

This interactive technique encourages patients to relive triggering or traumatic experiences in small doses, while the therapist directs the patient’s eye movements and using bilateral stimulation. Considered as a more unusual form of therapy, EMDR aims to divert the patient’s emotional response from reliving the trauma; aiming to make the feelings, emotions and thoughts associated with the trauma more manageable. While the patient is exposed to distressing or traumatic memories, the strong psychological response often associated with these triggers can then be reduced while the patient’s attention is focused on eye movements.

EMDR is found to be particularly effective for people who have difficulty talking or thinking about their past experiences. Although EMDR was originally considered as a treatment for Trauma and PTSD, there are also several other mental health conditions that can benefit from EMDR.

EMDR Intensives

Problems this can help with:

  • Depression
  • ​Stress and Anxiety
  • Addiction
  • ​Trauma/PTSD
  • ​Grief
  • ​Anger
  • ​Eating disorders
  • ​Bipolar disorder

Intensives are longer versions of the regular sessions.  

One benefit is accelerated healing, as the intensive format allows for faster results than traditional weekly sessions, which can be especially beneficial for individuals with severe symptoms or limited time to commit to ongoing therapy. Additionally, by dedicating several days to the therapy process, individuals are able to stay more focused and engaged, leading to deeper insights and more significant breakthroughs.

Multi-day EMDR intensives may also lead to better retention of treatment gains over time, as the concentrated and focused nature of the treatment allows for more effective processing and integration of traumatic memories. Comprehensive treatment plans may also be implemented during these intensives, addressing not only the traumatic memories themselves but also any related emotional, behavioral, or relational issues.

Furthermore, multi-day EMDR intensives are typically conducted in a supportive and therapeutic environment, where individuals can receive additional support and guidance from mental health professionals and peers. This can help them feel less isolated and more connected to others who have experienced similar challenges.

It's important to note that multi-day EMDR intensives may not be appropriate for everyone and individuals should work with a mental health professional to determine the best treatment approach for their unique needs and circumstances.

Ketamine Therapy

Disorders Ketamine can treat:

  • Major/Clinical Depression
  • ​Bipolar Disorder
  • OCD
  • Trauma/PTSD
  • ​Severe Anxiety
  • Treatment-Resistant Depression

What is ketamine Therapy?

Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is a holistic modality in which ketamine, a legal, safe and effective medicine, is used to treat a variety of mental health conditions, including Major Depressive Disorders, Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Bipolar Depression, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Severe Anxiety and Treatment-Resistant Depression. It is used as a complement to psychotherapy to help patients to actively examine, work with, and effectively process that material for long-lasting change and sustained improvement in symptoms.

It works by blocking the brain’s NMDA receptors as well as by stimulating AMPA receptors, which are thought to help form new synaptic connections and boost neural circuits that regulate stress and mood. Ketamine has also been shown to enhance overall neuroplasticity for lasting symptom improvement. Ketamine can be administered in a variety of ways, including IV infusion, intramuscular injection, via nasal spray and using sublingual lozenges. Blue Lotus Wellness uses the sublingual lozenge form, however options for intramuscular injection can be administered onsite at the Awaken office.

What does a ketamine session look like?

What does a ketamine session look like?

During your medicine session, you will be laying down and will have a mask to block light as well as noise cancelling headphones in order to fully immerse yourself in the experience. The effects of ketamine, which most patients find pleasant, last for approximately 45 minutes. These effects can make you feel “far from” your body and facilitate shifts in perception that can often feel expansive in nature. People can have a variety of experiences including:

• ability to access challenging states of mind with less fear

• allow inner access to difficult and often “stuck” material and emotions

• relief from obsessive and depressive states

• conscious awareness

• a sense of newness and healing afterwards

Once these effects subside, we’ll spend the remainder of our appointment giving you space to process and discuss your experience. While it may feel hard to articulate what happens during the experience, patients feel like the insights gained are clear.

Polyvagal Theory

Polyvagal theory, a neurobiological framework, explores the role of the autonomic nervous system in social behavior and stress response. It highlights the importance of the vagus nerve and its branches in influencing states of safety, connection, and defense in the body. While not a specific treatment for disorders, understanding polyvagal theory can inform therapeutic approaches for conditions related to emotional regulation, trauma, and social engagement difficulties.

Existential Therapy

​Existential therapy is a philosophical approach to psychotherapy that explores fundamental human concerns, such as the meaning of life, freedom, responsibility, and death. It is not specifically tied to treating specific disorders but is used to address existential challenges and help individuals explore their values, choices, and purpose, potentially benefiting those facing issues related to meaninglessness, existential anxiety, or a desire for personal growth and self-awareness

Motivational Interviewing

​Motivational Interviewing is a counseling technique that aims to elicit and strengthen an individual's intrinsic motivation to change by exploring and resolving ambivalence. It is used in treating substance abuse disorders, addiction, and behavioral issues, helping individuals explore their readiness for change and fostering a commitment to positive behavioral shifts.

LADC Evaluation

​A Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LADC) evaluation is an assessment conducted by a professional with LADC credentials to evaluate an individual's substance use and related issues. The evaluation typically includes gathering information on the individual's history of substance use, treatment history, mental health, and other relevant factors, helping to determine appropriate treatment recommendations and interventions.

Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)

Often referred to as "Psychological acupressure" or "Tapping", the technique works by releasing blockages within the energy system which are the source of emotional intensity and discomfort. These blockages in our energy system, in addition to challenging us emotionally, often lead to limiting beliefs and behaviours and an inability to live life harmoniously. Resulting symptoms are either emotional and/ or physical and include lack of confidence and self esteem, feeling stuck anxious or depressed, or the emergence of compulsive and addictive behaviours.

An EFT treatment involves the use of fingertips rather than needles to tap on the end points of energy meridians that are situated just beneath the surface of the skin.

Hypnosis

Problems this can help with:

  • Pain
  • ​depression
  • insomnia
  • Brain Fog
  • anxiety and Stress
  • ​habit disorders

Hypnosis is a natural state of selective, focused attention and heightened awareness while in deep relaxation and it is 100% natural and normal. Our ability to enter this unique state of consciousness opens the door to countless possibilities for healing, self-exploration and change.

Hypnosis has been used therapeutically in the treatment of pain, depression, insomnia, recalling forgotten experiences, anxiety, stress, habit disorders, as well as many other psychological and medical problems.

Contrary to popular belief, people under hypnosis are in total control of themselves and would never do anything they would normally find objectionable. This myth stems from people’s ideas about stage hypnotism. In actuality, hypnosis is a deep relaxed stated where the person is given positive suggestions for change. These suggestions seem to germinate in the unconsious and are intended to take effect after the person emerges from the trance and is no longer under hypnosis creating important behavioral or psychological changes.

Energy healing is an umbrella term for any holistic practice that manipulates the body's subtle energy systems to remove blocks. Trauma, emotional and mental stress, false belief systems, physical distress, environment stress, and other blocks to our personal growth can be stored in the energy fields of our bodies, impacting our ability to function at our full potential. Energetic healing facilitates the healing process by clearing blocks in the energy fields, repairing and rebalancing the energy so that the body access its inherent ability to heal itself.

Crystal healing therapy is an ancient healing system concerned with treating clients through the precise placement of crystals on or around the body in a grid like pattern. It is based on the premise that crystals can, through their electromagnetic field, communicate with and connect with the energies flowing around the human body. Every crystal has its own unique electromagnetic charge. These charges, or 'healing vibrations’ interact with the body's energy centers to remove 'blockages' and restore a healthy flow through the body, mind and energy field.
