Too Busy for Therapy? How an EMDR Intensive Can Fast Track Your Healing

In today’s world, everyone seems busy; and if you’re not, it feels like you should be. Most people find it hard to fit another weekly commitment into their schedule, even something as short as a one hour therapy session. And I get it. Life often feels like it’s bursting at the seams. You have work responsibilities, bills to pay, kids to get to extracurriculars, a spouse who deserves your time, and maybe, if you’re lucky, one hobby to recharge. There’s not much room left. If this sounds like you; no time for weekly therapy but still carrying stress, anxiety, or unresolved emotions — I want to share a unique solution. I offer an accelerated form of therapy called an EMDR Intensive. With this approach, we can accomplish months of progress in just a few days.

Here’s how it works: we start with a thorough first session to explore your goals and challenges. Then, over one to three consecutive days (three hours each day), we focus deeply on your most pressing issue. Afterward, I’ll follow up in a couple of weeks to check in and support your progress. The entire process takes no more than five total days, and only up to three of those days are consecutive, so it’s manageable even with a full schedule. Yet this format can bring the same results as months of traditional therapy. If you’ve ever thought, “I’d love to do therapy, but I just don’t have the time,” this is your moment to change that.

Schedule a free consultation to see if an EMDR Intensive could help you make meaningful progress — without disrupting your life.

So What Exactly is EMDR?

EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is one of the most well researched methods for healing trauma. It helps your brain process difficult memories so they no longer trigger the same emotional reactions, leading to a greater sense of calm and control. It also can greatly reduce anxiety, stress, and depression as well as a variety of other emotional challenges.

I’ve seen clients experience real breakthroughs through this process; deep emotional relief, clarity, and freedom; all in a condensed, powerful timeframe. Wouldn’t it be great to return to your life feeling lighter and more centered after just a few focused days, instead of months of juggling your schedule?

If you’re ready to see what an EMDR Intensive could do for you, let’s connect. You deserve to feel better, faster.
