EMDR Intensives

What is EMDR and is it for you?

EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a type of psychotherapy that is used to treat a variety of mental health conditions, particularly those related to trauma by utilizing eye movements or other types of bilateral stimulation; such as tapping or sounds played. 

EMDR Benefits

  • Reduces symptoms of PTSD: EMDR therapy has been found to be effective in reducing symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in both adults and children.

  • Addresses underlying causes of symptoms: Unlike some other therapies that focus only on managing symptoms, EMDR therapy helps individuals identify and process the underlying causes of their symptoms.

  • Can be used to treat a variety of mental health conditions: In addition to PTSD, EMDR therapy can be used to treat anxiety, depression, phobias, and other mental health conditions that are related to traumatic experiences.

  • Can be used in conjunction with other therapies: EMDR therapy can be used as a stand-alone treatment or in combination with other therapies, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy or medication.

  • Evidence-based: EMDR therapy is an evidence-based treatment, meaning that it has been extensively researched and proven to be effective for certain mental health conditions.

  • Focuses on the present: EMDR therapy helps individuals focus on the present moment and process their emotions and thoughts related to past traumatic experiences in a safe and controlled environment.

  • Can be a relatively short-term therapy: While the length of therapy varies depending on the individual and their specific needs, EMDR therapy is often shorter than other types of psychotherapy and can be completed in as few as six to 12 sessions.

It's important to note that EMDR therapy may not be the best fit for everyone, and individuals should work with a qualified therapist to determine the most appropriate treatment approach for their individual needs.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) intensive therapy typically involves multiple sessions of EMDR over several consecutive days. The intensive format allows for more rapid progress and can be helpful for those who are struggling with  symptoms or have not responded to traditional weekly therapy. During the sessions, clients are guided through bilateral stimulation (e.g. eye movements, tapping, or auditory tones) while focusing on the traumatic memory or negative belief. This process helps to desensitize the emotional intensity of the memory and reprocess it in a way that reduces its impact on the person's life. I will also work with you to develop coping skills and resources to manage any distress that may arise during the process.
