Therapy Intensives
Some people have more success doing trauma-tocused therapy all at once rather than doing it bit by bit each week. Intensive sessions can bring relief taster. Unlike shorter weekly sessions, intensives last at least 3 hours.
Advantages of Intensive Therapy
It has been found that when clients are prepared and ready, faster recovery is possible with intensive sessions compared with weekly sessions.
Intensive therapy modality, which can include EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) or Progressive Counting Therapy as its main trauma-focused therapy tool, has the advantage that it allows us time to fully explore and progress in therapy.
- We can avoid situations where time runs out and the trauma resolution is interrupted.
- It eliminates the time spent on the initial check-in and getting settled.
- It reduces the time spent on the final calming exercises you do every session in weekly therapy.
These advantages allow trauma reprocessing in intensive sessions to be more comprehensive and impactful. Find out more about the benefit of the Intensive approach and The Economic Value Of Intensive Trauma Therapy, written by Dr. Ricky Greenwald, the director of the Trauma Institute and researcher on the intensive method.
The intensive schedule can be a half-day (9 am to 12 pm or 1 pm to 4 pm with breaks as needed per day), a full-day (typically 9 am to 4 pm with a 60-minute lunch break and additional breaks as needed per day) for 3-5 days depending on your needs.
Adjunct Therapy
Do you have a good therapeutic alliance with your current therapist, but feel like progress has stalled?
Getting “Unstuck” In Therapy
Being “stuck” in therapeutic work is due to the subconscious blocking of unprocessed memories. This weakens your insight. Working with a specific memory, sensation, or belief can provide increased insight and accelerate the healing work.
I’m happy to collaborate with you and your primary therapist and offer short-term adjunct trauma-focused therapy with EMDR and other healing methods.
