Program Details

 

See the different programs offered and descriptions below:

 

Intensive for Trauma  -  This program will include a comprehensive assessment of the type of trauma - single event or complex history of trauma.   An individualized treatment plan is created to safely facilitate the EMDR process.   You will carefully be led through each of the 8 phases of EMDR allowing you to feel less disturbances from your past experiences and more relief.

 

Addiction Program -  This program will do a deep dive into your history with the addictive behavior.  Using specific EMDR addiction protocols can help you break the negative cycle that keeps you trapped in the problem behaviors.  This program can help you go very deep to the root of these behaviors and reclaim a life where you feel healthy, lighter and free.

 

Relationship & Attachment Lens - This program will have a focus on the family history and how other past experiences impact you today.   Early losses, trauma and neglect in childhood, caregiver disconnection, rejections and other difficult experiences in the earlier years have a significant impact on our lives today.   It can also have a profound impact on all our relationships.   We will work together to find relief of symptoms related to earlier issues to feel more complete healing.

 

Anxiety Focus - When we experience anxiety, our mind is focused on a felt danger in the future.  Sometimes its very clear, such as preparing to get on a plane or take an important exam.   Other times it may feel random without any cause at all and the symptoms can be debilitating.   EMDR allows you to connect the symptoms to past events and negative beliefs that might be feeding the anxiety.   The EMDR reprocessing will allow you to resolve anxiety and help you achieve your goals.

Structure of Intensive sessions

 

For all the programs the structure will consist of the following: 

A structured schedule is created depending on your needs and preferences.   So instead of going to weekly therapy sessions for months or even years, I offer these intensive sessions that can be offered as a half-day, a full day or over multiple days.    That may be months of therapy in just a few days.   We will discuss options and recommendations for how long your intensive should be for your situation.  

EMDR is composed of 8 phases and here is a brief overview of the phases below: 

  • Treatment planning (phase 1) - We will talk about the process in depth, go into history taking and discuss exactly what will be focused on during the intensive. 
  • Preparation phase (phase 2) - During this phase we will be working on different ways to help you get grounded to stabilize.   This is recommended outside of sessions and will also be done at the end of sessions.   We will go through various exercises together that will prepare your body and mind for the reprocessing.  This will include grounding, mindfulness, visualization and calming techniques.
  • Reprocessing phase (phases 3-7) - This is when we will get to the core of the work.  We use some kind of bilateral stimulation such as tapping or eye movements to facilitate the memory reprocessing.  This will allow you to integrate or "digest" difficult memories/feelings/sensations related to painful events.   Finally to close we return to the calming techniques used in the preparation phase to help you feel grounded and stabilized before ending the session.
  • Reevaluation - (phase 8) - When we check in later at the follow up session we will assess any updates and progress.   At that point we will discuss a personalized plan for your integration and self care.   I will make recommendations for next steps for follow-up options, resources and possible referrals.  

The EMDR intensive will be paced in a way to make the process most comfortable for you.   Sessions can be done either virtually or in-person on the West Coast of Florida.   Breaks and time for lunch is built into the format.   

 

All Programs Include:

 A 70-page Personalized Intensive Workbook - This workbook is designed to support your EMDR immersive journey by offering a space for reflection and ongoing personal growth.  You can use this workbook before, during and after the Intensive experience.  

 First Aid Coping Strategies Guide - We will work together so that you have the coping strategies you need.   After learning some strategies and putting it into practice this will get easier.   When you have these skills, you won't always feel you are putting out fires with your symptoms.   In the meantime,  you can use the guide to find techniques to immediately shift your mindset out of fight/flight and return to a calmer state.

 Individualized Treatment Plan - After we discuss your situation more I will be offering you a customized plan for your care with recommendations on which type of program is needed and the duration of the Intensive program.

 Customized self care kit - This is a special collection of items to help you care for your mental and emotional well-being after the Intensive.   This typically includes things that engage the senses and promote relaxation.  It may include soothing bath salts, essential oils, and tea, creative items such as colored pencils and sketch pad, affirmation cards for inspiration, journal or fidget tools.

 Post-Intensive Session - During and after the Intensive we will review any changes in symptoms and insights gained during the experience.   At this point we will have much more information to discuss your ongoing plans for your care following the Intensive.  

 Recommendations for aftercare - During the post-intensive session we will review tools, recommendations and next steps for ongoing support.
