What Are Intensives?
EMDR + IFS Intensives
Intensives are not simply ‘longer’ therapy sessions. Intensives are planned weeks in advance and include extensive preparation from both the client and the therapist.
Intensives are focused, intentionally outlined sessions. Intensives allow the opportunity to progress through your symptoms in a more succinct and focused way without the interruption of a 50-minute session.
An intensive format may decrease overall treatment time because of time not spent on:
checking in at the beginning of each session
addressing current crises and concerns
focusing on stabilizing and coping skills that the client won’t need after healing
assisting the client in regaining composure at the end of the session.
Who Can Benefit from Intensives?
Existing Clients
You’ve been seeing Jessica or another EMDR or IFS Therapist and want to jump-start or reboot your trauma reprocessing.
Long Time Therapy Go-er.
You’ve been in therapy for a long time already. You’ve made tons of progress, but realize something or several things have been missed.
You Aren't Usually in Michigan.
I can only work with you if your feet are in Michigan. If you travel in for 2-3 days, we can do 9-12 hours of intensive trauma reprocessing.
You Want to Get Unstuck.
You’ve been in weekly therapy and find yourself circling around the same feeling, pattern or behavior without new clarity, insight or resolution.
You Want to See the Changes Faster.
Instead of 12 weekly, hour-long sessions, we’ll do 12 hours of therapy in 3 days. You’ll do in 3 days more than you would in 12 weeks.
You're in Group and Need More Support.
If you’re in the Cycle-Breaker’s Group, adding an Intensive can be the perfect addition to maximize everything you’re learning!
