EMDR INTENSIVE THERAPY

What is EMDR therapy?

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EDMR) is a psychotherapy technique used to treat anxiety, depression, PTSD and more.

Trauma and other symptoms are treated by reconnecting the traumatized person in a safe and measured way to the images, self-thoughts, emotions, and body sensations associated with the trauma, and allowing the natural healing powers of the brain to move toward adaptive resolution.

How effective is EMDR therapy?

EMDR is not just for trauma; it is also used for performance enhancement to excel in areas such as athletics, business and relationships.

In fact, research supports the notion that intensive application of trauma-focused therapy is well-tolerated in patients with PTSD, enabling faster symptom reduction with similar, or even better, results, while reducing the risk that patients drop out prematurely. Intensive EMDR treatment is feasible and indicative of reliable improvement in PTSD symptoms in a very short timeframe.

An intensive program using EMDR therapy is a potentially safe and effective treatment alternative for complex PTSD. The economy is compelling: even compared to other trauma therapy, the intensive format may decrease treatment time, because of time not spent on:

a) checking in at the beginning of each session

b) addressing current crises and concerns

c) focusing on stabilizing and coping skills that the client won’t need after trauma healing

d) assisting the client in regaining composure at the end of the session

What to expect with your EMDR treatment?

A pre-consultation interview to assess candidacy, as well as target unpleasant beliefs, body sensations, emotions or images from which you are seeking relief.

A personalized treatment workbook, which allows you to work on your treatment goals before, during and after our EMDR intensive sessions.

A customized treatment program with targeted treatment goals. (EMDR with Junie is done in-person or virtually, often for 3-9 sessions (1.5 to 2 hours each session). Clients purchase their own tappers.)

Post-treatment interview to assess and support adaption to positive changes from treatment.

TESTIMONIAL

"EMDR transformed my life"

"EMDR transformed my life. I've been in therapy since childhood and it wasn't until I saw Junie for an EMDR intensive where I truly started healing my traumas and feeling emotionally and physically better.

EMDR helped me regain control, make changes in my relationships, manage my emotions better and lessen my anxiety. Junie and her team follow the protocol and truly cares about their clients, their safety and successes. I can't recommend this practice and EMDR intensive enough, my only regret is that I didn't find them sooner in my healing journey."
