EMDR Intensive Therapy Program for Trauma Recovery
Traditional weekly therapy can sometimes feel like it takes too long to reach the breakthrough you need. Our EMDR Intensive therapy program in North Carolina is created for those who need a more focused therapy experience.
Accelerated Healing
What is an EMDR Intensive Therapy?
Our program is designed for those who struggle to get into a weekly session due to a hectic schedule, failed attempts at weekly one-hour therapy sessions in the past, those who have experienced recent traumatic events, and those who have a desire to obtain accelerated healing and symptom reduction.
It is a concentrated way to get the power of EMDR therapy without having time between sessions. The intensive program is a total of 14 hours with 12 face-to-face hours condensed into two days — comparable to 9–12 months of weekly one-hour therapy sessions.
Who Does Our EMDR Intensive Help?
Our EMDR Intensive program is designed and led by W. Anthony Burchette, an EMDRIA-Certified EMDR Therapist with specialized training across a wide range of experiences. We provide in-person EMDR Intensive Therapy throughout North Carolina, and our program utilizes our Pet Therapy team of Askari and Obi.
Why Do an EMDR Intensive?
If you have a strong desire to experience big change, and the traditional model has not provided the results you want.
If you had a painful experience in the past, and it is still impacting you today.
You are looking at the future and want to change how you handle and react to certain situations, need help with emotional regulation, and are looking to make stronger and longer-lasting relationships in the future that are now impacted by reactions caused by past events.
If you have had a recent traumatic experience.
How Does It Work?
Prior to the EMDR Intensive, we meet for a pre-intensive interview to determine the goals you have for the program. We will look at your current coping skills, your current support system, what is presenting currently that you are seeking relief from, and areas you want to grow in.
During the session, we will aim to make painful “stuff” in your life hurt less in the present moment, and aim to increase the positive “stuff”. We use a combo of audio, handheld tappers, and hand motion bilateral stimulation with Guided Imagery, Inner Child Part Work, DBT, and Meditation during the intensive processing.
