Ketamine-assisted group psychotherapy integrating cognitive processing therapy to address identity-based trauma: a pilot study
Overview
This pilot study evaluates the feasibility and acceptability of Kindred, a nine-week group program combining ketamine-assisted psychotherapy with cognitive processing therapy for transgender and gender-expansive adults. The research assesses changes in mood, trauma symptoms, and well-being among eight participants through quantitative measures and qualitative interviews. Results indicate high retention and satisfaction, alongside reported reductions in depression, anxiety, and internalized transphobia.
