Why Choose An EMDR Intensive?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a powerful, evidence-based therapy that can help heal the impact of trauma. EMDR Intensives are intensive, one-on-one sessions that can help you make significant progress in resolving your trauma. If you are considering an EMDR Intensive, here are some things to keep in mind.

You're not alone in feeling stuck - many people feel like they're at a crossroads in their lives.

It can be extremely difficult to feel stuck along a crossroads in life and it's not something that you have to endure alone. Chronic PTSD, dissociation, somatic struggles and chronic pain can cause any individual to feel disconnected from their current environment, or uncertain around which direction is the right one. It helps to know that these experiences are universal, so rather than feeling alone, build personal relationships with other individuals who could understand. It’s important to talk through the feelings associated with the sense of being stuck and having no control over one’s own life path — alongside identifying one’s goals and values — as this not only shares the load but also provides much-needed emotional support.

An EMDR intensive can help you get to the root of your trauma and start to heal

Trauma can have a variety of effects on our lives, often causing us to feel stuck or disconnected from ourselves and the present. An Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) intensive offers an opportunity to explore your trauma in a safe and potentially healing way. Identifying stuck points, with the guidance of a trained professional, can be an effective way to begin to unravel traumatic experiences. Additionally, utilizing parts therapy aids in allowing individualized components of trauma to be expressed separately from the whole experience. This unlocks valuable forward momentum toward healing as each element of trauma can be presented in detail and evaluated for its varied impacts. Ultimately, an EMDR intensive may provide a launch point for successful long-term recovery from trauma.

The process is intense but it's worth it, and you'll have the support of a therapist every step of the way

The process of cash-pay therapy can be intense, but the individualized, personalized guidance and support of a therapist make it worth it. You will have the benefit of having both the hard truths that sometimes just need to be said, combined with the compassion and comfort of also knowing you are not alone in your experience. Each patient's plan is tailored to their goals and needs, whilst being supported by a professional as they go through their journey. It's hard to put a price on this kind of experience, making cash-pay therapy an investment well worth making.

After an intensive, you'll be able to move on with your life with a new perspective

An intensive can give you the noticeable change you've been looking for in your life. Whether it's leaving behind old behaviors or mindsets that are no longer working, or simply getting to the root of issues and problems, intensive activities can provide clarity and support in a short amount of time. After an intensive, you're able to start tracking progress more closely as you have picked out attainable goals based on what you have learned. You have acquired wonderful knowledge to make sure success becomes achievable. It could be the perfect opportunity to begin again in hopes that a new perspective will bring purpose and motivation into your life.

If you're ready to make a change, an EMDR intensive could be exactly what you need

If you're feeling hopeless and exhausted from the complexity of life, an EMDR intensive might be the best place to start reaching for change. It is increasingly used as a comprehensive treatment plan to help individuals see improvements in their symptoms. With intensive sessions with a trained practitioner, you can take steps toward healing that you may not have thought possible. The therapeutic process is demanding, but worth it if you are truly ready to make a change in your life and start living on your own terms again.
