What are EMDR Intensives
EMDR Intensives are a focused, accelerated way to do EMDR therapy. Instead of spreading sessions out weekly, they’re designed to help you work through trauma and emotional pain more quickly and in greater depth—getting to the root of things faster than the traditional approach. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Intensives offer a focused and accelerated approach to therapy, diverging from the traditional weekly session model. This intensive format is specifically designed to facilitate a more rapid and profound processing of trauma and emotional pain. By dedicating concentrated time to EMDR, individuals can often reach the core of their issues and experience significant breakthroughs much faster than through a more spaced-out therapeutic schedule. This accelerated method can be particularly beneficial for those seeking to make substantial progress in a shorter timeframe, allowing for deeper engagement with the therapeutic process and potentially quicker resolution of long-standing emotional burdens.
What Makes EMDR Intensives Different?
Instead of 55 minute weekly sessions, EMDR intensives are usually scheduled in longer, concentrated blocks — for example:
- Half-day (3 hours)
- Full-day (6 hours)
- Multi-day formats (several consecutive days)
This allows for deeper, uninterrupted work on specific issues or themes, rather than spreading it out over months.
Why People Choose EMDR Intensives
- Condenses months of therapy into a few days.
- Targets specific trauma, limiting distractions from day-to-day life.
- Great for people with busy schedules or those who want relief quickly.
- Often offered in-person and sometimes virtually, depending on the therapist.
