It is not uncommon for trauma to have a profound and lasting impact on an individual's life, affecting their emotional and physical well-being, as well as their relationships and ability to function in daily life.
What if standard therapy wasn’t enough?
For some individuals, traditional weekly therapy may not be enough to fully address and heal from their trauma. In these cases, an EMDR Intensive may be a valuable option for achieving deeper and more comprehensive trauma recovery. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy is a widely recognized and effective treatment for trauma, helping individuals to process and overcome traumatic memories and experiences.
What is an EMDR Intensive?
An EMDR Intensive is a concentrated and Intensive version of traditional EMDR Therapy, typically lasting several days or even up to a week. During this time, the individual will participate in multiple EMDR sessions each day, allowing for deeper and more rapid processing of traumatic experiences. The Intensive nature of the therapy allows for a more immersive and therapeutic experience, as well as the ability to address and work through multiple traumatic events in a shorter period of time.
What are the Benefits of EMDR Intensives?
One of the main benefits of an EMDR Intensive is the rapid resolution of traumatic experiences. Traditional weekly therapy may take months or even years to fully process and overcome a traumatic event. An EMDR Intensive, on the other hand, can help individuals to make significant progress in a shorter period of time, allowing them to move on from their trauma more quickly. The ability to work through multiple traumatic events in a shorter period of time makes EMDR Intensive a more efficient way to process and heal from trauma.
Another benefit of an EMDR Intensive is that it allows for a more complete processing of traumatic memories and experiences. With the ability to work on multiple traumatic events at a time, individuals are able to gain a more comprehensive understanding of their trauma, leading to greater closure and a sense of accomplishment.
For individuals who have been in therapy for some time but have not been able to fully process and resolve their trauma, an EMDR Intensive can be especially helpful. This type of therapy can allow for deeper and more complete processing of traumatic memories and experiences, leading to greater closure and a sense of accomplishment.

But
EMDR Intensives Can Be Highly-Effective For Resolving Trauma
