EMDR Intensives for Rapid Trauma Healing
Sometimes the path to healing requires more than an hour a week
When trauma runs deep, whether it’s birth trauma that still takes your breath away, childhood wounds that surfaced when you became a mother, or the complex grief of fertility struggles, traditional weekly therapy can feel fragmented. Just as you’re settling into the work, the session ends.
That's where EMDR intensives come in.
My weekend EMDR intensives in San Diego at my centrally located office or virtually, offer concentrated trauma processing designed specifically for the perinatal journey. Over two focused days, I create a protected space where your nervous system can move through complete healing cycles without interruption.
This isn’t about rushing your process. It’s about honoring it. About giving your trauma the dedicated time and space it deserves to be fully witnessed, processed, and integrated.
What to expect
Before We Begin
We’ll start with a 60–90 minute preparation session to ensure you feel ready and supported. During this time, we’ll clarify your goals, identify the memory or theme you’d like to focus on, and establish personalized safety protocols that honor your unique perinatal journey.
Weekend Intensive
The core of the work takes place over two consecutive 4-hour sessions—typically Friday evening and Saturday, or Saturday and Sunday. Together, we’ll focus on one specific experience (such as a birth trauma, pregnancy loss, NICU stay, or postpartum event) and move through all phases of EMDR: from stabilization, to reprocessing, to integration. Mindful breaks are woven throughout to support rest, reflection, and nervous system balance.
Integration Support
About one week later, we’ll meet for a 60-minute integration session to help your system continue processing, deepen insights, and ensure you leave feeling grounded and complete in your healing process.
Why one trauma focus?
One Step at a time
During an intensive, we intentionally focus on one central experience or theme rather than trying to process everything at once. This allows your mind and body to stay fully present and complete a full healing cycle without becoming overwhelmed or scattered.
In perinatal work, one experience often carries threads that connect to others—like how a birth trauma might touch old feelings of powerlessness, or how a miscarriage may awaken grief from earlier losses. By tending to one focal point, we often see ripple effects that bring relief and integration across many areas of life.
Focusing deeply on one trauma isn’t about minimizing everything else you’ve lived through—it’s about honoring the depth your healing deserves, one step at a time.
