What is an EMDR Intensive?

EMDR Intensives?

EMDR Intensives are extended therapy sessions designed to help you process trauma more deeply and efficiently than traditional weekly therapy.

Instead of meeting for 50-minute sessions over many months, intensives allow you to engage in longer, focused blocks of time—often over one or several days.

This format creates the space needed to:

Stay connected to the healing process
Reduce repeated start-and-stop cycles
Build momentum in trauma processing

What is EMDR?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a trauma therapy that helps the brain process and integrate distressing memories.

Rather than talking through every detail, EMDR works by:

Activating the brain’s natural healing system
Reducing the emotional intensity of memories
Reconnecting thoughts, emotions, and body sensations in a healthier way

EMDR is based on the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model, which understands that trauma can become “stuck” in the nervous system.

EMDR Intensives?

EMDR Intensives can be especially helpful if you:

Feel stuck in traditional therapy
Want faster progress
Have a specific trauma or target to focus on
Have a busy schedule and limited availability
Are traveling or not able to attend weekly sessions
Want to avoid prolonged distress over months of therapy

This format allows for deeper work with more continuity, which can lead to meaningful shifts in a shorter period of time.
