What an EMDR intensive is:

An EMDR intensive is a concentrated version of standard EMDR therapy. Instead of weekly hour-long sessions, we work in longer blocks over a shorter period. The exact format depends on what you're working on and what fits your circumstances, get in touch and we can talk it through.

How the format differs:

• Concentrated format - several hours of therapy over days rather than weekly hours

• Fewer interruptions between sessions, so you stay with the material

• Scheduling that can work around travel or work commitments

Who they might suit

EMDR intensives may be a good fit if you:

• Have experienced trauma or distressing events

• Would prefer a focused, immersive format to weekly appointments

• Find it hard to commit to a regular weekly time

• Are travelling to Alstonville from outside the area

What to Expect:

• Assessment - we start with a thorough assessment of your history and what you'd like to work on

• EMDR sessions - extended sessions using bilateral stimulation (eye movements, tapping or sounds) to process traumatic memories

• Support before and after - preparation beforehand, and follow-up to help consolidate the work

Things to consider

Intensives are emotionally demanding, and they aren't right for everyone. It helps to have support around you during and afterwards and some people benefit from follow-up sessions once the intensive is finished.

Intensives are tailored to your situation. Get in touch to talk through format and cost.
