EMDR intensives are personalized treatment plans that are designed to support your preferred schedule and timeline.
Intensives might be a good option for you if…
You’ve been meaning to get into weekly therapy for a while now, but your schedule has been so hectic and demanding that a weekly therapy appointment feels more overwhelming than supportive.
You need help right now and you don’t want to spend months in the traditional weekly model of therapy treatment to feel better.
You are a busy person and just need more efficient support, either to deal with a one-off (e.g., exploding at a co-worker) or a continuing provocation (e.g., being triggered your child’s behavior).
EMDR can be utilized for the following:
Resourcing: We will work to strengthen internal resources while soothing parts of you that feel limited. EMDR utilizes images, emotions, body sensations, and positive cognitions to increase feelings of calm, safety, and confidence.
Resolving relationship difficulties: Attachment-focused EMDR works to repair unmet development needs (often called attachment wounding) when we have experienced an absence of care/neglect or abuse.
Trauma recovery: Clients can benefit from EMDR if they have “big T” trauma (e.g., a major car accident, assault), or “little t” trauma (e.g., chronic or ongoing stressful conditions, such as interpersonal conflict, difficult parents, financial stress). One of the most overlooked aspects of ‘small t’ traumas is their accumulated effect. Multiple, compounded ‘small t’ traumas may lead to distress in the nervous system and trouble with emotional functioning.
