Accelerate Your Healing Journey

Intensive EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a focused and fast-paced form of therapy designed to process traumatic experiences from the past. This treatment involves longer sessions over several days or weeks, allowing for deep exploration of specific issues. By concentrating on the root causes of distress, clients can achieve significant breakthroughs and healing more quickly than with traditional therapy methods. If you want to speed up your healing journey and effectively work through past trauma, intensive EMDR could be a helpful option to consider.

What Does Research Say About EMDR Intensives?

Research on EMDR intensives shows that this method can be highly effective for treating various types of trauma, especially PTSD. Here’s a rundown of what the research says:

  1. Van Woudenberg et al. (2018) found that EMDR intensives significantly reduced PTSD symptoms in adults. Participants received a mix of Prolonged Exposure therapy in the morning and EMDR therapy in the afternoon over two weeks. The results were clear: this intensive approach is both safe and effective for severe PTSD​. (EMDR International Association)​.

  2. Another study looked at intensive EMDR therapy for patients with complex PTSD due to various traumas. The findings showed significant improvements in PTSD symptoms, highlighting the safety and effectiveness of intensive sessions​ (EMDR International Association)​.

Benefits of Intensive EMDR Therapy

  • Quicker Therapy: Intensive EMDR usually helps you feel better faster than regular weekly sessions. Because the therapy is focused, it quickly helps you process traumatic memories, reducing symptoms in less time.

  • Reduced Disruption: Intensive sessions fit better into your life. Instead of weekly therapy that might feel interrupted, the continuous sessions of intensive EMDR keep the healing process going smoothly. This is great for people who find it hard to move in and out of intense emotions.

  • Flexibility and Convenience: Intensive EMDR can be easier to schedule if you have a busy life. You can plan it for a week off from work or during school breaks, which is helpful for people who travel a lot or have demanding jobs.

  • Adjunct to Ongoing Therapy: Intensive EMDR can add to your regular therapy. If you’re already seeing a therapist but feel stuck or need to work on specific trauma, an intensive session can give your therapy a helpful boost without messing up your regular sessions.

  • In-depth Processing: Longer sessions let you explore and work through traumatic events more deeply. You have the time to really dive into complex issues, leading to bigger and longer-lasting changes.

    Immediate Support and Intervention: Intensive EMDR can give you quick help if you’re dealing with severe trauma or need fast relief from strong symptoms. This is especially useful in crisis situations where quick help is needed.
