Reasons You May Prefer EMDR Intensives

Literature supports EMDR Intensives (Intensives) are as effective as EMDR administered during traditional psychotherapy sessions (54 mins); however, intensives can resolve/integrate painful and/or traumatic experiences quicker, allowing you to spend less time & resources in weekly therapy, and more opportunities reengaging in other areas that matters most in your life.
With intensives being a highly focused form of treatment, they can be more cost effective due to requiring less overall treatment time to address your concern(s).
Intensives provide focused therapeutic work on the root of your concern(s), without your various normal day to day normal life disruptions.
Intensives provide a less likelihood for you to be left managing potential distress in between sessions, compared to traditional EMDR therapy sessions.
Intensives allow you the option to continue to work with your already established long term therapist, life coach, or other healing professional(s), without interruption.
