If you are motivated to reduce intense or severe symptoms efficiently, an EMDR intensive may be for you. This is a powerful way to do deep healing work in a short amount of time. I like to describe it as an intentional personal retreat where we spend several hours a day together over the course of several days.

 

This format allows you to process trauma and painful experiences without the constant stop-and-start of weekly therapy sessions. It’s especially helpful if you’re dealing with a single incident trauma or the layers of a more complex history of trauma. An EMDR intensive gives you the space to move forward without interruption. 

​

If you're a teacher, student, or have a demanding job, EMDR intensives can be a great fit—allowing you to do deep healing during a winter, spring, or summer break; or whenever time off is available. For those with inflexible schedules, intensives offer a way to address symptoms quickly and effectively so you can return to work or school feeling more grounded and focused.​​

​

While intensives are not easy and are not for everyone, I have seen them be transformative for my clients. If you are interested, feel free to reach out and we can develop a personalized intensive that best fits your needs for healing and growth.
