Hawaii Ketamine Assisted Trauma Healing
By Deborah Sevy
I warmly accompany people to take a deep but gentle dive into their emotional and experiential bodies so they can more fully love and connect with themselves and other.
About Me
I was raised in a constant soup of fear, rejection, anger, and blame. Throughout my elementary school years I searched desperately for acceptance and connection from those around me. When my efforts to get my needs met consistently failed, at 13, I made a conscious decision to not care about what others thought of me. I shut down and became numb to my feelings. I actually found that when I showed up less needy people responded better to me which encouraged me to further my efforts to disconnect from myself and others.
In my teenage years fear and anxiety started seeping through the numbness making me aware that something was not right inside of me adding a layer of shame to my experience.
For years I have used coping strategies such as exercise, nature and lifestyle to regulate my emotions.
About 40 years ago I began my own personal journey receiving and studying a wide range of therapies and healing modalities including 5 years of non-directive high dose psychedelic therapy.
I have recently become certified in Psychedelic Somatic Interactional Psychotherapy (PSIP) which works relationally with the body and nervous system to heal trauma.
I began receiving PSIP sessions myself over a year ago. As I continue to move further into my process I am finding such relief and joy as my system opens up and allows connection and relationship to land deep inside me. It’s as if I have been traveling in the desert most of my life with barely enough water to drink and I have finally landed in an oasis. For my nervous system it feels like I have struck a vein of gold. As a result I am calmer, softer, more confident and feel generally more connected to myself and to others. It is with incredible gratitude that I have found this healing modality and I am able now to offer it to others.
I come to you with great empathy, non-judgment and a passion to heal.

What People are Saying
-
Over the course of 7 sessions, Deborah's patient and persistently loving presence allowed me to feel safe enough to traverse parts of my emotional landscape that have previously been too scary or painful to feel on my own. Her empathic curiosity let her snuggle down with me into the dark corners of my psyche, staying with me there as long as I needed to, and her playful brightness poured warmth and connection into my experience of aloneness time and time again. It made for a fascinating journey into those difficult emotions and far away places, and took away any resistance or fear that I had to tread there. I'm forever grateful for Deb's boundless care and her skill in meeting me in such delicate terrain.

Deborah's work helped me to explore with compassion and precision parts of myself that I habitually fight with and reject. This acceptance of myself is most precious to me, and a profound path. It is what my heart wants. Her simple, direct approach opened doors for me, and I am grateful. Importantly, Deborah has explored her own depths in many modalities, with great sincerity. Like all genuine guides, her intimate self-understanding holds space for others to simply be.

Deborah has a way of sorting through all I say to get to the heart of the issue. Through working with her I have discovered that some of my many ways of being were invisible to me, and yet dictated my behavior and attitudes in how I lived my life. I feel much more integrated and experience a fuller ranger of choices-- resulting in more aliveness and joy in my life. Deborah is gifted with a deep way of perceiving and understanding the energetic patterns and spirit of others, and has supported me in knowing and accepting more of who I truly am.

Deborah is a genuine, kind practitioner who I've been working with for many years. She is reliable and dedicated to the depth of work and cares about the people she works with. She does not judge and has an open willingness to go into any material I bring up. She is thoughtful, fair and adaptive as she brings herself into the room in an accessible and trustworthy way.

Ketamine Assisted Trauma Healing
A few years ago I organically began using Ketamine with my clients as a tool to go more deeply into their emotions and inner experiential realms. Ketamine has a way of softening defenses and emotions making them more tolerable and available to experience and process.
Most trauma occurs when difficulties arise throughout our lives and there is no one there capable of supporting and attuning to us. Trauma heals when we re-experience our difficult emotions in an attuned and supportive relational container.
In this 2 hour session Ketamine is utilized to process whatever arises in your system while I gently support and accompany you in your moment to moment experience.
I recommend this work for people:
Who have tried everything and feel hopeless and stuck.
Are having difficulty accessing their emotions or just want to feel more.
Who find it hard to connect with themselves and other.
Have a deep unmet need to be seen and understood.
Want to feel more relaxed and connected socially.
Who want to feel less anxious and more at peace.
Who want a slow more gentle approach to healing trauma.
Who have chronic pain.
Who want to free up energy that is normally being used to manage their stress.
Psychedelic Somatic Interactional Psychotherapy
PSIP Takes your trauma healing to a deeper level. In this root level core approach to healing trauma we revisit past traumas experientially so they can be released. Just as animals in the wild have the biological innate ability to process and release trauma we too are animals. Given the right support from a trusted practitioner, and with the assistance of Cannabis/Ketamine, we are able to inhibit the defense mechanisms of the conscious mind giving us access to the unconscious so we can go back through our trauma and process it just as animals do naturally in the wild.
Ketamine and, or, Cannabis used in the right context can be even more effective than other psychedelics in healing trauma and are legal to some degree in most U.S. states.
I recommend this therapy for people who are interested in a root-level deeper dive into healing trauma.
