EMDR Intensives in Vermont
Focused, accelerated trauma treatment designed to create meaningful progress in a concentrated format.
What Is an EMDR Intensive?
An EMDR Intensive is a structured, multi-day format of trauma treatment designed to accelerate progress.
Instead of meeting weekly over several months, treatment is delivered in a concentrated 2–3 day format.
This approach allows for:
Sustained focus on target memories
Reduced time between processing sessions
Increased therapeutic momentum
Structured preparation and integration
Intensives include a pre-intensive preparation session and a post-intensive integration plan.
Consultation is required to determine clinical appropriateness.
Who EMDR Intensives Are For
EMDR Intensives may be appropriate for:
Professionals with limited availability
Athletes during off-season or injury recovery
First responders managing cumulative exposure
Individuals preparing for major life transitions
Clients traveling for specialized trauma treatment
Those seeking accelerated progress rather than weekly therapy
Intensives are not appropriate for every clinical presentation. A consultation will determine readiness and fit.
Structure and Format
EMDR Intensives are typically structured as:
A pre-intensive consultation and preparation session
Approximately 12–15 clinical hours delivered over 2–3 consecutive days
Structured target sequencing
Breaks and regulation periods built into the schedule
A post-intensive integration plan
Intensives may be conducted locally or designed for clients traveling for care.
Scheduling is coordinated individually based on clinical goals and availability.
Is an EMDR Intensive Right for You?
EMDR Intensives are designed for individuals who are ready to engage in focused, structured trauma treatment.
This format is intentional, contained, and clinically guided. Preparation and stabilization are prioritized before trauma processing begins.
If you are considering an intensive, the first step is a consultation to determine readiness, clinical appropriateness, and scheduling options.
