EMDR and IFS Therapy Intensives for Trauma

Do you have a traumatic past that you'd like to break free from? Perhaps you are finding it hard to forget about the trauma, or continue to be triggered by a past situation, such as abuse, medical trauma, or a traumatic birth? Even 'little t' traumas, such as divorce or infidelity can have long lasting effects. These experiences can result in having negative beliefs about yourself, such as 'I'm not good enough' or 'I have to be perfect'. Therapy Intensives are an effective option for healing from the past and shifting these negative beliefs, and often just one 4 hour session is needed.

What is EMDR/IFS Intensive therapy?

EMDR/IFS Intensive Therapy allows you to condense your therapy and progress into a shorter time frame. Instead of going to weekly sessions for months, treatment occurs in 3-5 hour increments over the course of 1-3 sessions. Often, clients experience a lessening of symptoms after just the first day. These Intensives are ideal for those who have experienced a past trauma and are ready to be free from the intrusive thoughts, triggers, body sensations, and intense emotions associated with the trauma. I use a great deal of somatic interventions in my work, to more fully process the trauma and decrease physical symptoms associated with the trauma.

What does a Therapy Intensive look like?

We begin by identifying the target of our work, perhaps a past trauma or negative belief about yourself/the world. After we’ve identified the target, we begin the work to process the trauma/memory/etc. for around 2 hours. When it’s time for a break, you can relax in the office, by the creek, or under a tree while you rest and eat/drink/meet your needs. When you’re ready to resume the work, we start where we left off and continue to work for another hour or two. If the issue is not fully processed, we pick up where we left off at our next session. Typically, 1-2 days is enough time to fully process an issue and greatly decrease the symptoms associated around the issue. If two days is not enough time, we will plan another day when it works with your schedule.
