EMDR INTENSIVE
Intensive EMDR Programs are designed for individuals who are ready to dive into their healing journey and are fully prepared to invest in their personal growth. By participating in the intensive program, you will gain exclusive access to appointments that typically allow you to start your treatment within just a few weeks, significantly cutting down on initial wait times.
With multiple sessions concentrated into 1 to 3 days, you can maximize your time spent addressing the core memories and symptoms that brought you to treatment. This approach reduces the time spent on session transitions, enabling you to make more substantial progress. The longer session lengths are specifically tailored for those willing to engage deeply with their experiences, allowing you to leave each session feeling less distressed and minimizing potential side effects.
By committing to a dedicated block of time for your treatment, you enhance the effectiveness of each session and significantly increase the amount of meaningful work you can accomplish. If you’re ready to take the next step in your healing process, this intensive program is the perfect opportunity to transform your journey.
The Process:
What to expect in the EMDR Intensive Programs?
The EMDR Intensive consists of three parts: An Assessment Appointment, an Intensive Processing Session or Sessions, and a Follow up Appointment.
The Intensive Program begins with a 2 hour Assessment Appointment prior to the Intensive Processing Session or Sessions. This appointment time is used to assess for candidacy in the Intensive Program, discuss the concerns bringing you to treatment, address your questions and identify the negative belief systems that have reinforced the old patterns of thinking and feeling.
Intensive Processing Sessions are available in your choice of either half-day and full day formats. The half-day appointment is from 9:00am-12:00 pm, while the full-day format is 9:00am-4:00pm with an hour break for lunch. Your Intensive Processing Session begins by developing resources to increase your sense of calm, security, and control, allowing you to more confidently examine your trauma. The initial 45-60 minutes will be spent creating these resources to support you both in and following your Intensive Treatment Program. Reprocessing the trauma with EMDR will last for 2.5 to 3 hours in the half-day format, and 4.5 to 5 hours in the full day format, with breaks for self-care as needed. The remaining 15-30 minutes are spent closing the session and assessing for additional needs.
The Intensive Program concludes with a 90 minute follow up appointment the week after your processing session. Additional EMDR therapy appointments may be necessary to achieve your treatment goals. Note: additional sessions including the Assessment and Follow-up Appointment are not included in the Intensive Program fee; recommendations are individualized based on your specific needs. In complex cases, especially with multiple traumatic events, additional intensive work will be recommended.
