Sometimes Weekly Therapy Isn't the Best Fit
A More Spacious Approach to Trauma Therapy & EMDR
EMDR Therapy Intensives
Sometimes weekly therapy can feel limiting, especially when meaningful material begins to emerge just as the session is ending. EMDR and therapy intensives offer a more focused and immersive therapeutic experience. Creating space for deeper continuity, nervous system support, and integrative trauma work in a more spacious format than traditional weekly therapy.
At Ground + Bloom Therapy, intensives are individualized and thoughtfully paced based on each client’s goals, history, readiness, and nervous system needs. While EMDR may be a central component of the work, intensives will likely also incorporate somatic and mindfulness-based approaches, parts-informed work, grounding and resourcing practices, restorative elements, and yoga-informed support throughout the process.
What is an EMDR Intensive?
An EMDR intensive is an extended therapy session that provides significantly more time than a traditional 55-minute appointment.
Depending on your needs, intensives may range from a half day to multiple days of therapy.
Every intensive is individualized and thoughtfully planned.
The additional time allows us to spend more time preparing, processing, and integrating your work without feeling rushed by the clock.
For some people, this format allows for meaningful progress in a shorter period of time while reducing the stop-and-start nature of weekly sessions.
Intensives vary in length and pacing depending on the client’s needs, treatment goals, and level of readiness.
My Approach
Rather than approaching intensives as emotionally overwhelming “marathon sessions,” I aim to create a thoughtful and regulated therapeutic environment with space for pacing, grounding, reflection, and integration alongside deeper processing work.
Depending on the client and clinical goals, an intensive may include:
- EMDR processing
- grounding and resourcing
- mindfulness and meditation
- yoga-informed movement or breathwork
- nervous system regulation practices
- parts-informed exploration
- restorative closure and integration
Who Intensives May Be Helpful For
Who Intensives May Be Helpful For
- Adults who are already engaged in personal growth or therapy and are looking for a more immersive and focused therapeutic experience
- Professionals, caregivers, and high-functioning individuals with demanding schedules who may prefer concentrated therapy work over ongoing weekly sessions
- Individuals wanting dedicated time and space to focus more deeply on a specific issue, life transition, trauma history, or recurring pattern
- Clients who feel stuck in therapy and would benefit from greater continuity and momentum in the work
- Individuals interested in integrating EMDR with somatic, mindfulness-based, or parts-informed approaches
- Clients seeking a more intentional and spacious therapeutic pace with time for both processing and integration
- Individuals working through single-incident trauma, relational wounds, chronic stress, burnout, anxiety, or long-standing emotional patterns
Who Intensives May Not Be a Good Fit For
Who Intensives May Not Be a Good Fit For
At this time, intensives may not be appropriate for individuals experiencing:
- Active suicidal ideation with intent or recent suicide attempts within the past 12 months
- Recent self-harm behaviors requiring higher levels of support or stabilization
- Active psychosis, mania, or severe dissociation that would interfere with safe trauma processing
- Active substance dependence or untreated addiction that may significantly impact emotional regulation or stability during intensive work
- Significant instability, crisis, or safety concerns requiring more frequent support or a higher level of care
- Difficulty remaining emotionally regulated within longer-format trauma processing sessions without additional stabilization resources in place
Intensives may also not be the best fit for individuals looking for a quick fix or expecting trauma therapy to immediately eliminate all symptoms or distress.
The consultation and assessment process helps determine readiness, pacing, and whether an intensive format is likely to be supportive, safe, and clinically appropriate.
