EMDR Intensives in Merritt Island and Online Throughout Florida

Frustrated by the slow progress of weekly therapy sessions?

You've been coming to weekly therapy sessions for months, making some progress, but you're still carrying the weight of trauma. Each week, you settle into the session, start processing with your therapist, then time runs out. You leave mid-process, managing difficult emotions all week until your next appointment. The momentum stalls. The healing feels painfully slow.

 

Maybe you're in crisis and can't wait months for relief. Or your schedule makes weekly appointments impossible. Perhaps you've hit a plateau in traditional therapy and need a breakthrough.

 

If you need faster healing, there's a more effective way forward.

Why Traditional Weekly Therapy Falls Short

Weekly sessions are often helpful, but when processing traumatic memories and their impact on your daily life, the traditional 50-minute format actually works against deep healing. In traditional talk therapy, you spend time explaining and re-explaining your trauma without processing it at a neurological level. And in weekly EMDR, after check-in and closing down the session safely, you only get 20-30 minutes of actual trauma processing. That's about two hours per month.

 

You might recognize some of the common frustrations with weekly therapy from your own experience: 

  • Running out of time mid-processing

  • Managing activated emotions all week between sessions

  • Taking 6+ months for issues that feel urgent

  • Life interruptions derailing your momentum

  • Spending money on months of sessions

  • Feeling like you're treading water instead of healing

 

For trauma that's controlling your present, the slow drip of weekly sessions can feel excruciating. Meanwhile, the symptoms that brought you to therapy continue disrupting your life. If you can relate, EMDR Intensives might be a better fit for you.

 

Ready for accelerated healing? Let's explore EMDR intensives.

Immersive EMDR That Creates Breakthroughs

EMDR Intensive Therapy is a focused, immersive format that compresses months of healing into just a few days. With extended sessions spanning 1-5 consecutive days, you'll process traumatic memories more deeply and completely than weekly sessions allow.

 

What makes intensives different:

  • 4-6 hours of EMDR therapy per day

  • Uninterrupted time to fully process memories

  • One day of intensive equals three months of weekly sessions

  • Breakthroughs happen without the start-stop of traditional therapy

  • Significant symptom relief in days instead of months

 

Research shows EMDR intensives are equally or more effective than weekly therapy, with over 80% of intensive participants experiencing significant improvement.
