Aftercare Expectations
It is normal to experience changes in emotionality, cognitive processing, or physical sensations after a KAP session. Please review and consent to the following aftercare guidelines:

Emotional Processing
You may feel heightened emotionality, including joy, relief, sadness, or introspection.
Journaling, mindfulness, and self-reflection are encouraged during this time.

Physical Sensations
Some clients experience mild dizziness, nausea, or fatigue after a session.
Resting and staying hydrated can help alleviate these symptoms.

Diet and Hydration
Avoid alcohol or recreational substances for at least 24 hours post-session.
Eat lightly and hydrate well.

Cognitive Changes
You may experience shifts in thought patterns, mental clarity, or increased introspection.
Take time to reflect but avoid making significant life decisions within 24–48 hours after the session.

I understand and agree to follow the aftercare expectations outlined above.

Integration Therapy Recommendations
Integration therapy is a critical component of KAP treatment to solidify and extend the benefits of the session. This phase helps you process your experience and apply insights gained during your Ketamine session.

Timing of Integration Therapy
We recommend scheduling your first integration session 24–48 hours after your Ketamine session. This period is when neural pathways are more pliable, and the potential for change is greatest.

Frequency of Integration Therapy
Continued integration sessions are highly recommended to support your therapeutic goals and maximize the long-term benefits of KAP.

Purpose of Integration
Integration therapy provides a safe space to:
- Explore the emotional and cognitive insights gained from your Ketamine session.
- Build new patterns of thinking, behavior, and emotional regulation while the brain remains more flexible.
- Reinforce therapeutic gains and translate them into lasting change.
Client Confirmation*

I understand and agree to participate in integration therapy as recommended to maximize the benefits of KAP.

- Contact your clinician or the Temenos Center.
- For urgent medical concerns, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
