Brainspotting Intensives

Therapy Intensives are a great way to capture the emotional healing in the moment. We offer intensive sessions spanning from 1-5 days to support motivated clients in engaging in focused therapeutic treatment and support their functioning within their day-to-day lives. 

Why an intensive as opposed to Regular sessions?

Intensives can offer the “biggest bang for your buck” in therapy. By engaging in an intensive, the individual can gain symptom relief and healing faster than engaging in 60 minute weekly sessions.

The session is focused solely on the goals of treatment while your therapist is there to monitor closely and support you throughout the intensive to accomplish the treatment goals. 

Emotional and Physical Healing: Brainspotting is a powerful therapeutic technique that supports neurophysiological regulation through emotional healing, expansion towards more positive self-regard, awareness of triggers of disturbing behaviors, and blocks towards personal growth.

The Process:

  • A thorough intake and treatment plan to establish goals. 

You will complete intake documents prior to the intensive. Your clinician will then assess symptoms and severity with you in your first session (intake). You will discuss with your provider:

  • therapeutic goals that include desired states of functioning or being

  • review of a timeline of disturbing or traumatic events in childhood and adult lifespan

  • assessment of negative beliefs

  • identification of resources and the assessment of strengths.

    This will be a “road map” to support your processing journey over the span of the intensive and will be regularly reviewed throughout the intensive sessions to continue to monitor growth and healing. 

  • “Dropping into the process” to support regulation, healing and growth. 

This is the part where the work begins towards emotional regulation with use of the therapeutic techniques of Brainspotting. Your clinician will help guide you through deeper levels of emotional exploration with use of a variety of Brainspotting techniques that will help clear harbored emotional responses, release somatic responses, and help to eliminate and shift negative thoughts and programmed messages of regard towards self. Sessions will build on strengthening positive beliefs about self and expand into desired states of being.
