Part of why we created Mom Parts KAP is because we were feeling the absence of spaces where we don’t have to perform wellness.

Even within healing spaces, we noticed how quickly folks can begin searching for the “right” framework, the “right” insight, the “right” interpretation, or the “right” way to heal.

But motherhood isn’t linear.
Healing isn’t linear.
And Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy often opens experiences that need slower, more relational, more compassionate ways of being understood and integrated.

Mom Parts KAP began emerging from that space.
A way of bringing the Mom Parts Method into KAP preparation, dosing, and integration.
A way of working with protective parts respectfully rather than pathologizing them.
A way of understanding maternal suffering within larger relational, nervous system, cultural, and societal contexts.
A way of slowing down enough to include the therapist, the mother, the body, and the relational field inside the work too.

Not as a rigid protocol.
But as a more human framework for being with what emerges.

This work is taking shape through:
🌿 Mom Parts KAP Labs

This is the kind of authenticity I encourage in sessions.

So grateful that Jessica Sorci created the Mom Parts Method, which applies Internal Family Systems (IFS) to maternal mental health. This work has helped me and so many other moms understand and relate to our internal experiences like guilt, anxiety, anger, overwhelm, and self-criticism with more curiosity, compassion, and Self-trust.

Together, we’ve woven the Mom Parts Method into Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) preparation, dosing, and integration to create a more relational, attuned, and nervous-system-informed framework for supporting mothers across the many seasons of motherhood.

There’s something strange about the way many of us were taught to learn as clinicians.

Sit still.
Take notes.
Absorb information intellectually.
Leave more “informed,” but often disconnected from ourselves in the process.

I’ve been reflecting on how different learning feels when we include the nervous system, the body, relationship, spaciousness, and lived experience.

That’s a big part of why Jessica Sorci and I are so excited to bring Mom Parts KAP to NYC: an experiential urban retreat + CE weekend for clinicians centered around the Mom Parts Method and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy through the arc of preparation, inward journeying, and integration.

No rushing through slides.
No performative expertise.
No pressure to “get it right.”

Just a slower, more relational space to explore motherhood, parts, identity, care, depletion, and healing in community.

Participants will receive:
🌿 10 CEs for live participation
🌿 When Good Moms Feel Bad book
🌿 Mom Parts Cards
🌿 Lunch both days + light refreshments
🌿 Experiential exercises, reflection, breakout spaces, and inward journeys
🌿 An intimate small-group experience at Journey Clinical HQ in NYC

I think many of us are longing for learning spaces that feel more human.

If this resonates, we’d love to have you with us.

I’m teaching a specialty workshop this Friday on integrating Brainspotting into KAP.

We’ll focus on how we track, attune, and hold the frame across preparation, dosing, and integration; and what shifts in higher dose work when the process becomes more internal.

New Blog Post: A simple 2-minute “taking out the trash” practice has been surprisingly supportive in creating a little more space (without turning it into another thing to maintain).

I learned this exercise in a writing group with Serene Calkins, and it immediately brought me back to a practice I leaned on over a decade ago called the 'Morning Pages' from The Artist's Way.Serene calls it “taking out the trash.” The idea is simple. You set a timer for two minutes and you writ...

A clinician said something to me recently:

“I love offering KAP… but it’s a terrible business model.”

When therapy works well, clients sometimes experience meaningful shifts relatively quickly and may not need as many sessions.

Clinically, that’s incredible.

And it also raises a real question for therapists:
How does KAP actually fit into a sustainable practice?

I wrote a short piece exploring this paradox.

Phase 5 Reflections 💫

Phase 5 Brainspotting training this past weekend left me with incredible insights. And it did so by giving my brain permission to stop trying to produce them.We are conditioned to orient toward understanding: "What does this mean?" "Where did it come from?" "How do we resolve it?". Over time, “som...

After the initial learning phase, there’s often a quiet plateau. The original protocol feels either too rigid or no longer aligned. The excitement has matured into something more complex.

My latest blog post explores:
>> The “post-hype” phase of KAP
>> Why expansion can feel harder than starting
>> The gap between certification and sustainable structure
>> What it means to build architecture around your work instead of relying on momentum

If this resonates, I’m also hosting a webinar where I’ll go deeper into how to evolve your KAP offerings intentionally without chasing trends or burning out.

Last week, I wrote about the idea that your KAP practice mirrors the way you hold session: that the architecture of your work reflects your clinical presence. If that’s true, then there’s something else we have to look at: What happens when you evolve, but your structure doesn’t? That’s usua...
