EMDR INTENSIVES
WHAT ARE EMDR INTENSIVES?
EMDR Intensive Therapy is a way to experience powerful healing in a short time. Instead of attending therapy weekly, you do your work in a concentrated block of time. For those with busy schedules, this gives you the opportunity to combine sessions into what can be a truly transformational experience. In just a few days, you can experience months or even years of positive change. We will focus on the root of the issues causing distress in your life and the core beliefs that keep you from getting past these issues that have had a lasting impact on your mental and physical health, all in just a few days.

Before the Intensive:
Skill Building and Preparation: In the preliminary stage of an EMDR Intensive, we will focus on skill building and preparation so you get the most out of your experience. The purpose of this is to empower you to have the tools you need to explore challenging emotions, memories, and beliefs that will come up during your EMDR Intensive sessions. You will receive a workbook so we have a good understanding of your history and beliefs, This will be reviewed in our 90-minute pre-intensive phone call approximately one week prior to your scheduled sessions. We will also work on grounding techniques and emotional regulation skills that are crucial for managing intense emotions that may arise when you're processed, as well as regulating your nervous system in between sessions.
