ACHIEVE LASTING CHANGE ON YOUR OWN TERMSEMDR Intensives in Vermont
Are you ready to get to the root of what’s keeping you stuck?
Maybe you have done therapy in the past – even for years – and while it may have helped, you are realizing that there is deeper work to be done to get you to the next level of relief or growth. You might know that there are experiences from your past that you haven’t yet touched on in your regular, weekly therapy that need attention. Perhaps the daily stresses of life end up taking up your weekly therapy time – and you DO benefit from that support. At the same time, you know you need to get to the root of what is causing you distress or keeping you stuck. EMDR intensives can help
Traditional, weekly talk therapy is a long-term support system to help you work through life challenges over time. But flexibility in how you receive therapeutic support is important, and the traditional model of weekly psychotherapy is shifting to meet your needs. Intensives offer you a different experience - one that:Allows you to do deep healing work on a schedule that works for youHas a clear and customized treatment plan focused on what most needs attention for you to find relief or get unstuckGives you dedicated, distraction-free time to really focus on your healingMakes space for you to go deep, as you don’t have to worry about being ready to jump back into the demands of “real life” after 60 minutesCan be more efficient than weekly therapy, as a smaller percentage of time is used opening up and then containing and closing the sessionCan be an excellent adjunct to weekly therapy. Your intensive can be a place where you attend to a core issue or past event, and your weekly therapist can provide continuity of care before and after, as you integrate what you have gained from your intensive.
