Frequently Asked Questions
What happens during an EMDR Intensive?
Your EMDR Intensive begins with assessment and treatment planning based on your symptoms, history, and treatment goals.
Much of the treatment day is dedicated to focused EMDR processing, helping your brain reprocess unresolved traumatic experiences and the emotions, physical sensations, and beliefs connected to them.
Treatment progresses based on your individual response, with breaks throughout the day and ongoing assessment to guide the work.
