What to Expect from Your Intensive
It is entirely natural to feel a mix of anticipation and nerves as you prepare for this deep work. Our intensives are designed to provide a container of profound safety and intentional rhythm, allowing you the dedicated, focused time your healing deserves to move through trauma and find lasting restoration.
An intensive is structured, personalized, and paced with intention. We prepare thoughtfully beforehand and create a clear integration plan afterward so that the work continues to unfold in sustainable ways.
Before Your
Intensive
Intake & Discovery
We begin with a 60-minute collaborative assessment to understand your history and define the specific focal points for our intensive work.
Logistics & Scheduling
Coordination of your multi-hour session involves securing dates that work for your schedule and preparing your home for deep immersion.
Emotional Preparation
You will receive a tailored workbook to help you ground your nervous system and set intentions before your intensive work begins.
During Your Intensive
The Daily Rhythm
Each day is structured with a comforting predictability. We begin with grounding exercises to create a safe emotional container before moving into deep processing with Brainspotting, ensuring you feel held and supported throughout the work.
A Focused Pace
Unlike traditional therapy hours, we lean into the natural flow of your healing. Without the pressure of the clock, we can follow threads to their completion, allowing for meaningful breakthroughs in a single session and using evidence-based practices to get there.
Mindful Breaks
Rest is an essential part of the healing process. We weave intentional pauses and restorative breaks throughout the day, giving your nervous system the quiet space it needs to integrate and settle.
After Your Intensive
The Integration Phase
As the intensive concludes, the work of integration begins. This is a gentle, essential period where your nervous system weaves the insights and emotional shifts from our focused time into your daily reality. We provide somatic tools and practices to help you navigate this 'landing' with compassion and steadiness.
Next Steps & Support
Your path forward is clearly defined. We schedule a final 60-minute integration session to anchor your progress and address unfolding needs. You will leave with a personalized integration plan that identifies specific resources, ensuring the healing work continues to take root and flourish in your life.
IS AN INTENSIVE RIGHT FOR ME?
Intensives are designed for those ready to move past the surface of their pain. If you feel stuck in traditional formats, you’re facing a specific trauma or event you want to process fully, you want meaningful progress before a major life change, or you are ready to engage deeply and intentionally in your healing, it may be the restorative shift you need.
