Pre-Intensive Consultation
Prior to the intensive, clients complete:
- Clinical assessment
- EMDR readiness screening
- Goal clarification
- Trauma history review
- Stabilization assessment
This helps ensure the intensive is safe, focused, and appropriately paced.
EMDR Processing
The intensive uses EMDR to help clients process unresolved experiences that may continue to affect emotions, relationships, beliefs, and nervous system responses.
Examples of core beliefs addressed may include:
- “I am not safe”
- “I am not enough”
- “I am powerless”
- “I cannot trust others”
- “Something is wrong with me”
Treatment focuses on helping the brain and body process experiences in a more adaptive and integrated way.
Regulation & Grounding
Throughout the day, clients are supported with:
- Nervous system regulation strategies
- Grounding exercises
- Breathwork
- Body-awareness techniques
- Emotional pacing
- Resourcing exercises
- Present-moment orientation
The goal is not emotional flooding, but safe and meaningful processing.
