EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a powerful therapy that helps people heal from overwhelming life experiences. EMDR is an incredible tool that can help individuals process their experience in a healthy way, leading to improved mental health outcomes.
EMDR intensives help people to feel better faster and provide a way to take EMDR therapy to the next level. This is a chance to process and resolve the pain of the past in a format that allows for quicker results than traditional therapy.
These intensive sessions offer an intense focus on healing and can either support progress occurring in talk therapy or eliminate the need for weekly therapy sessions. EMDR intensives can be customized depending on your individual needs, and typically last 4-8 hours. Week long EMDR intensive retreats are also available.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a type of psychotherapy used to treat overwhelming life experiences. EMDR helps people process overwhelming memories and negative core beliefs in a more effective way, allowing them to move forward in life with greater emotional clarity.
-
The way that EMDR works is through a series of bilateral stimulation techniques. This includes eye movements, sounds, or tapping that alternate between the right and left sides of the body. EMDR helps to process overwhelming life experiences and negative core beliefs in shorter amounts of time than just traditional talk therapy alone. EMDR allows you to get right to the core of your issues and rapidly resolve them.

Like a lot of people, you might not have time for weekly therapy. What’s more, you may find that improvement happens very slowly because of how infrequent sessions are. An EMDR intensive sidesteps this hurdle by taking a break to retreat away from your day-to-day life and immerse yourself in a deeply focused healing process. Intensives are customized to your needs and can ranges from a series of half days or full days at a time.

Perhaps 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.
