An intensive session provides more time to complete the goals for EMDR therapy. It also provides more time to use somatic tools for integration and calming of the nervous system. There can be other therapeutic tools provided, such as breathwork, stretching, movement, infra-red mat (simiar to an infra-red sauna), EFT tapping, accupressure practice and more. Sessions can run half a day to one day, or 3 day intensives. Please inquire for more information and whether this method is appropriate for your concern.
