On this episode, Dr. Jill Corvelli talks about the 4th component of her ND Compass Method.

The first 3 components are: Education; Niche Construction; and Differentiation. The 4th and final component is: Autonomic Rese,t which includes work with Ketamine and Psyilocybin. 

Other topics discussed include:

When there is chronic relationship trauma the dendrite stalks get worn away.

Memory consolidation makes ongoing present moment roadblocks

EMDR can help with healing in 1-6 sessions

Need to find a way of resetting our nervous system or we are constantly in a flight, fight, freeze, or fawn response state

Research shows that the "default mode network" (DMN) is different in ND folks

Lower level of neurotransmitters in ADHD brain.

Stress and cortisol can make neurons and dendrites atrophy and they can’t communicate

Release of BDNF regenerates what trauma has withered away!

Not everyone is eligible for Ketamine.  You need an assessment and it needs to be done with a licensed therapist.

Jill is starting 2 new groups for innate healing and neuroplastic reset for those eligible to safely and clinically participate. Jill's co-leader, Mary Beathea is a nurse

Group 1-Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy group for women in complex relationships. May 7-9 onsite in Oregon.  This is not a processing group it is an intervention group.  Three prep sessions by Zoom and then 2 dosing sessions in Oregon.  Then 3 integration sessions where you make sense of the experience with a group.

Group 2-Psilocybin group for complex couples. Meets September 26-28 in Oregon.

PLEASE NOTE:

Psilocybin is legal at the state level in Oregon for regulated use in certified service centers with certified facilitators. It remains federally illegal-(much like cannabis). It has been identified as a break through drug at the federal level fueling research and strong potential change in its scheduling and legal status. Many states are also looking to follow Oregon in providing accessibility for its demonstrated ability to quickly resolve treatment resistant depression, anxiety, and addiction.

Ketamine is federally and state legal with FDA approval for anesthetic use and not FDA approved but commonly and legally prescribed for off label use for treatment of depression, anxiety, PTSD, eating disorders, and other issues.
