Therapy Intensives: Accelerated Healing & Growth
Deep, focused work for transformative results in less time.
What is a Therapy Intensive?
Intensives are concentrated periods of therapeutic work—ranging from a full day to several days—that replace weeks or months of traditional weekly sessions. This format is designed for **fast and effective results** by creating a protected, immersive space for deep emotional and relational processing.
Benefits of Couples Intensives
Break Through Gridlock
Instead of stopping right when the tough topic emerges, an intensive provides dedicated time to move past **dysregulation** and the deep sense of hopelessness. This allows couples to confront long-standing issues, like **unresolved disillusionment**, that traditional therapy sessions often run out of time to process.
Intensives include structured practice time. You learn and immediately apply a **communication process to increase honesty** and the capacity to have difficult conversations, actively working to **reduce ineffective behaviors and increase effective ones** within the safe space of the session.
By the end of the intensive, you’ll have a customized plan emphasizing the **need for practice and follow-through**. You leave not just with insight, but with a practical roadmap for maintaining the positive changes and supporting the relationship’s natural **developmental evolution**.
Benefits of Individual Intensives
Deep Core Change and Trauma Work
Individual Intensives, particularly those based on models like **Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT)**, allow you to safely “assemble your emotions” and work through the deep impacts of trauma, anxiety, or depression. This focused time helps you shape a **secure sense of self** and move past feeling frozen or paralyzed.
Intensives are excellent for addressing specific, persistent issues. For example, a **CBT-I (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia)** intensive can deliver evidence-based interventions for sleep disorders related to trauma, anxiety, or chronic pain in a highly concentrated and structured manner, leading to faster relief.
By dedicating significant, uninterrupted time, you can rapidly expand your **sense of self** and address **stalled developmental capacities**. This concentrated focus allows you to move beyond avoidant strategies and fully engage in the process of personal growth and fitness.
