EMDR Intensives: Accelerate Your Healing Journey
![Photo of Tameka Whittlesey, MSW, LCSW, LCASA, Clinical Social Work/Therapist](https://photos.psychologytoday.com/fb330dda-37f4-44ae-8f8b-57f90ba38426/2/320x400.jpeg)
When trauma strikes, it shatters our sense of safety. While traditional weekly talk therapy is helpful, somatic approaches offer a more comprehensive path to healing by reconnecting us with our bodies, fostering integration of mind & body as one unified system. In EMDR, the use of eye movements aids in processing traumatic memories to enhance our ability to cope. Intensives help by accelerating this healing process, providing a dedicated & safe environment in a condensed format, ranging from 4-hour sessions to 3-day retreats. Reach out to us for more information on how to schedule your personalized intensive.
