Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured therapeutic approach that helps individuals process and recover from trauma and other distressing life experiences. Developed by Francine Shapiro in the late 1980s, EMDR is based on the idea that traumatic memories can become “stuck” and not fully processed, leading to ongoing emotional distress and psychological symptoms.
Benefits of EMDR
Effeciency
EMDR can often produce faster results than traditional talk therapy.
Effective
It has been shown to be effective in treating PTSD, anxiety, depression, and other trauma-related symptoms.
Holistic Approach
EMDR addresses both the emotional and physical aspects of traumatic memories.
Why choose EMDR Intensives?
01
Accelerated Progress
• Rapid Results: EMDR intensives are designed to deliver significant therapeutic progress in a shorter timeframe compared to traditional weekly sessions. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals who need immediate relief from their symptoms.
• Focused Work: Intensive sessions allow for deep and sustained focus on specific issues, which can lead to more effective processing of traumatic memories and quicker resolution of symptoms.
03
In-depth Processing
• Comprehensive Approach: Intensives offer the opportunity to address multiple layers of trauma and related issues in a cohesive and uninterrupted manner.
• Continuous Support: With extended sessions, clients receive continuous support from their therapist, which can enhance the therapeutic relationship and provide a greater sense of safety and trust.

Efficiency
• Time-Saving: For those with busy schedules or those who are unable to commit to regular weekly therapy, intensives provide a more efficient way to receive treatment.
• Fewer Disruptions: Intensive therapy reduces the number of transitions between daily life and therapy sessions, allowing for a more immersive therapeutic experience.

• Customized Treatment: Each intensive session is tailored to meet the unique needs of the client, ensuring that the therapy is relevant and effective.
• Flexible Scheduling: Intensives can be scheduled over a few days or weeks, offering flexibility to fit into the client’s lifestyle and availability.
