Trauma therapy in Fair Haven offers you unhurried time for healing. During intensives you can process a traumatic event, heal negative beliefs, improve self-esteem, get unstuck and change the way you feel.
🤔 You’ve been in therapy and you can’t put a finger on why but you’re thinking 50 minutes a week or twice a month isn’t working.Â
🤔 You like your weekly therapy, and feel good immediately after, but you’re often frustrated or confused about why all the work you’ve been doing in therapy isn’t getting you where you want to go.Â
🤔 You understand so much more than you used to about why you react or believe certain ways, but you still don’t FEEL any different. Like part of you gets it but part of you can’t make the changes you know you want to make.Â
🤔 You feel like you spend your weekly sessions catching up on all that happened in the week so you don’t have time to address the big problem you came for therapy in the first place.Â
🤔 You have wanted the support of therapy for a while now, but you just can’t make sessions work with all that is in your schedule.Â
🤔 You want relief right now, not after weeks or even months in traditional therapy sessions.Â
🤔 You are new to this whole therapy thing and the idea of working intensively, with time for a variety of mind-body interventions in a weekend is more appealing to you than traditional weekly 50 minute sessions.
Traditional therapy is helpful for many. Intensive sessions are simply an evolution that will help meet the needs of more. We need flexible options for how we get support. Life is complicated. Getting help shouldn’t be.
Intensive therapy includes highly curated treatment plans that will give you faster access to treatment and will support your preferred timeline and schedule. Â
Intensives allow you to progress through concerns in a more focused way without the interruption of a 50-minute session.
An intensive format may decrease overall treatment time because of time not spent on:
Yes, you can come to weekly therapy. If that’s working for you already, then great! Intensives are probably not a fit for you.Â
However, if you:
✓ want to experience deep therapeutic work in a compressed amount of time that could lead to quicker life changes
✓ had a painful or uncomfortable experience that is still impacting you today and you want focused help now
✓ have some time off of work or school, and you want to use some of your time for a mental spa day
✓ have done EMDR or other trauma focused therapy before, found it helpful for healing and want that type of experience again
✓ want to prepare yourself for a big life event or transition to a new stage of lifeÂ
✓ already go to weekly therapy and you feel stuck in some area and you want to try an intensive session as a supplement to your weekly therapy
✓ find the idea of a weekend dedicated only to you and your healing very appealing and something you think you both need and deserve to try
Then let’s set up an intensive session today.
Much of the research highlighting Intensive Trauma-focused therapy focuses on PTSD and the studies show generally positive outcomes, including in some cases enabling faster and often greater reduction of symptoms than traditional talk-therapy. This is possibly due to the compact time frame that reduces the risk of clients dropping out or losing steam before true healing happens.Â
Maybe this is the question you most want to ask. Here’s the thing, I can show you all the research I can find. I can tell you all the extra certifications and training I have to make me qualified to do this, but I’m guessing all you really want to know is why am I offering this now.
So, I’ll tell ya.Â
