EMDR INTENSIVES SPEED UP YOUR PROGRESS

An EMDR Intensive is a great option if you:


💃🏻 Are ready to dive deep

🛋️ Have scheduling barriers
due to work, childcare, etc.

⏰ Need more time to
process a memory


🗓️ Can’t add another weekly commitment

🤯 Want to do accelerated therapy work in one session

🤷🏻‍♀️ Feel stuck in weekly therapy

Step One: Consult Call

We’ll connect for a 15 minute consultation call so I can hear about what you would like to work on and you can ask any questions. We will both use the time to confirm we are a great fit. If we proceed, you will be sent resources to complete and use to prepare for your intensive.

Step Two: Preparation Session

We’ll connect for 1 hour to identify your goal and target(s). We will focus on your coping skills and practice them to confirm you have resources for before, during and after the intensive. You’ll receive a customized workbook as a resource.

Step Three: Intensive (1, 2 or 3 day)

We’ll process your target memories/events and take breaks as needed. We will use your coping skills and practice grounding along the way. You can choose from eye movements, audio tones and/or tapping as your bilateral stimulation.

What’s the research say about EMDR and Intensives?

  • Intensive application of trauma-focused therapy seems to be well tolerated in patients with PTSD, enabling faster symptom reduction with similar, or even better, results, while reducing the risk that patients drop out prematurely. Learn more here and here.

  • Intensive EMDR treatment is feasible and is indicative of reliable improvement in PTSD symptoms in a very short time frame. Learn more here.

  • An intensive program using EMDR therapy is a potentially safe and effective treatment alternative for complex PTSD. Learn more here.

  • The economy is compelling: even compared to other trauma therapy, the intensive format may decrease treatment time, because of time not spent on a) checking in at the beginning of each session, b) addressing current crises and concerns, c) focusing on stabilizing and coping skills that the client won’t need after trauma healing, or d) assisting the client in regaining composure at the end of the session.
