EMDR Intensives, What Are They?

Written By Danielle Fazio

Hey all, my name is Dani and I am an LCSW practicing out of Inner Healing Therapy PLLC in Wilmington, NC. I started my practice in July 2024 with EMDR and psychotherapy for adults looking to work on trauma. I am now adding an additional service of EMDR Intensives. I wanted to get into a bit of the details of what this service is and what it can offer for trauma healing.

What Are EMDR Intensives?

EMDR Intensives are a concentrated form of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy. Unlike traditional weekly sessions, these intensives offer an immersive healing experience over a short period, typically 3-5 days. This accelerated approach allows for deeper emotional processing and faster symptom relief

Benefits of EMDR Intensives

  1. One of the most significant advantages of EMDR Intensives is the speed of recovery. Clients often experience substantial improvements in just a few days, with studies showing dramatic reductions in symptom severity

  2. The extended sessions in EMDR Intensives allow for a more thorough exploration of traumatic memories. This deep dive into emotional experiences can lead to profound insights and more comprehensive healing

  3. EMDR Intensives minimize the long-term emotional toll often associated with traditional therapy. With lower dropout rates and condensed treatment timelines, clients in Wilmington can achieve meaningful recovery without the exhaustion of prolonged therapy

  4. Each EMDR Intensive is tailored to the individual's unique needs. This personalized approach ensures that Wilmington residents receive targeted support for their specific mental health challenges

  • Individuals with busy schedules who can't commit to weekly sessions
