EMDR intensives include personalized treatment plans that give clients faster access to therapy services and are designed to support quicker symptom relief.
An EMDR Intensive offers you uninterrupted, focused, dedicated, one-on-one time to delve deeply into the issues that are currently keeping you from living your most abundant and connected life.
In an EMDR Intensive, you and I will create a treatment plan together and then immerse ourselves in the profound work of EMDR therapy for a full 1-2 days. During our time together, we will address various challenges that may be holding you back, whether it’s a recent trauma, a lingering past trauma that continues to haunt you, ongoing stress that weighs you down, anxiety that restricts you, or any other obstacle that hinders your journey towards growth and fulfillment.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an integrative psychotherapy approach that facilitates healing by processing traumatic experiences and changing negative beliefs to alleviate distress and promote emotional well-being.
EMDR Intensives might be a good fit for you if you…
have been in ongoing talk therapy, but keep getting stuck surrounding internalized beliefs & impacts of past experiences
have a busy life and find it difficult to fit weekly therapy into your schedule
want a retreat-style, focused therapeutic experience
want to address a specific traumatic or difficult event (past or recent)
are highly motivated to work through trauma in an accelerated & focused format
have persistent negative beliefs about yourself that get in the way of living fully
logically know something to be true (i.e. I'm safe now, I can make mistakes, I'm doing the best I can), but your body & emotions have not yet got on board with that knowledge
have an upcoming life transition or event that you want to prepare for (i.e. marriage, surgery, becoming parent, new job)
Wondering if this is for you?
1. Is coping with recent trauma. When you've experienced a recent traumatic event, its effects can disrupt your daily life and well-being. An EMDR Intensive provides an immediate and supportive approach to address your symptoms and guide you towards reclaiming a fulfilling and vibrant life.
2. Has limited availability for weekly therapy. If your schedule or commitments make it challenging to engage in regular weekly therapy sessions, an EMDR Intensive offers a concentrated period of focused work that accommodates your time constraints.
3. Is seeking faster results. An EMDR Intensive could be the best choice for someone who is hoping to accelerate their healing journey and reduce symptoms more quickly. By working intensively, more material can be processed, and significant progress can be achieved in a shorter period.
4. Wishes to focus their work on specific issues. If you have specific issues or traumas that you wish to address comprehensively and in-depth, an EMDR Intensive allows for a concentrated exploration of those areas, facilitating profound transformation and growth.
