Negative emotions, feelings, and behaviors are generally caused by unprocessed or unresolved earlier experiences. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a widely researched, evidence based therapy practice that encourages the patient to focus briefly on a traumatic or stress inducing memory while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation (generally through eye movements, audio, or tapping), which is associated with a reduction in the level of intensity of the emotion associated with the traumatic memories. EMDR therapy can help people recover from several disorders (not just Trauma).
The goal of EMDR therapy is to leave you with the emotions, understanding, and perspectives that will lead to healthy and useful behaviors and interactions. EMDR helps your brain to “process” completely the experiences that are causing problems, and to create new thought patterns and responses that are needed for full health.
First, you'll focus on a specific event. Then, you'll focus on a negative image, belief, and body sensations related to this event. Then, associate a positive belief that would indicate a resolution. While focusing on the event, your therapist will guide you through sets of side-to-side eye movements, sounds, or taps, prompting you to notice what comes to mind. You may experience shifts in insight or changes in images, feelings, and beliefs regarding the event. You have full control to stop at any point if needed. Eye movements, sounds, or taps are repeated until the event becomes less disturbing.
EMDR is typically every week. However, it can still be effective every other week, with slower progress. Emerging research establishes the effectiveness of "EMDR Intensives" that involve administering EMDR therapy several hours a day for multiple days in a row.
An EMDR Intensive is an extended traditional EMDR therapy session that will last multiple hours a day from a half-day session to as much as 2-5 consecutive days depending on your needs.
Although the cost is more, the shorter duration of therapy over time can potentially save you money.
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.

1. Your therapist at Blue Lotus Wellness will make a referral to your Awaken Prescriber
2. Initial consultation with Awaken prescriber, eligibility check and ketamine prescription
3. Preparation sessions together with Blue Lotus therapist to align on the process and set intentions for the KAP dosing session
4. KAP dosing session with Blue Lotus therapist: You will self-administer your ketamine lozenge at our office or remotely
5. Follow-up or “Integration sessions” with Blue Lotus therapist within 48 hours to review the memories, thoughts & insights that arise during your dosing session
6. Follow-up consultations with your Awaken prescriber with prescription refills if eligible
7. Additional KAP dosing sessions as appropriate
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.

In a mental health counseling session, you can expect to have a private and confidential conversation with a trained mental health professional. You will have the opportunity to discuss your mental health concerns and experiences in a safe and non-judgmental environment.
During the session, your counselor will actively listen to you and help you explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. They will work with you to identify the root causes of your mental health concerns and develop strategies to address them.

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 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.
