DENVER, CO - The Trauma Therapist Institute (TTI) invites trauma-informed clinicians, EMDR practitioners, counselors, and mental health professionals to its March Clinical Conversation — a free, live event designed to support thoughtful, responsible engagement with emerging psychedelic-assisted treatments in trauma care.
Bridging Realities: Integrating Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy and EMDR for Deeper Healing
Guest: Kate Kincaid, LPC, CMHC, PMH-C
Live: Wednesday, March 4, 2026 • 1:00–2:00 PM Central
On-Demand: Available one week after the live event
As ketamine-assisted psychotherapy becomes increasingly visible in mental health care, many trauma therapists are encountering it through clients, referrals, and collaborative treatment teams, often without clear guidance on how to support integration safely and ethically.
In this grounded Clinical Conversation, Kate Kincaid, LPC, CMHC, PMH-C joins TTI to explore what clinicians actually need to know when ketamine enters the therapeutic landscape without pressure to provide the treatment themselves.
This conversation is designed for therapists who are curious, cautious, and clinically responsible, not “all in,” but not disengaged either.
Key topics include:
-
What is actually happening for clients in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy
-
Ketamine’s neurobiological and experiential effects and how they may prepare clients for EMDR reprocessing
-
Ways EMDR can help organize, stabilize, and deepen insights that emerge during altered states
-
Clinical decision points: readiness, pacing, scope, and when not to integrate these approaches
-
Practical examples with clients navigating treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, OCD, and PTSD
-
Questions clinicians can bring into consultation, supervision, and interdisciplinary care
-
How this work fits into broader EMDR training, trauma therapist development, and long-term professional goals
Why EMDR Sometimes Doesn’t Land: The Hidden Role of Attachment and Neglect
Guest: Cassidy DuHadway, LCSW
Live: Wednesday, March 18, 2026 • 1:00–2:00 PM Central
On-Demand: Available one week after the live event
What happens when EMDR is “working” on paper — targets are clear, SUDs shift — but clients still feel empty, unseen, or fundamentally unworthy?
In this free Clinical Conversation, trauma therapist, EMDR Approved Trainer, and author Cassidy DuHadway, LCSW explores how attachment wounds and emotional neglect quietly shape trauma treatment outcomes.
Many clients present with anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, or spiritual distress, while the core injury lies in unmet attachment needs and long-term relational neglect. This conversation helps clinicians recognize and work with these deeper patterns.
Discussion will explore:
-
How attachment wounds and neglect hide behind presenting symptoms
-
Clinical signs that attachment dynamics are shaping sessions
-
Adapting EMDR when safety and attunement were never consistent
-
Working with core beliefs around worth, love, and belonging
-
Language for naming neglect without shaming or overwhelming clients
-
Staying grounded when attachment dynamics activate over-functioning or shutdown
This session is designed for clinicians who want to deepen attachment-informed practice and move beyond symptom management into lasting identity-level change.
This is not a webinar or a protocol-based training. It is a real clinical dialogue for therapists holding real-world complexity, including uncertainty, ethical tension, and responsibility to client safety.
