EMDR Intensives

EMDR is a type of guided psychotherapy that I use to help people heal from traumatic or really distressing experiences, like PTSD. In simple terms, it works by using something called bilateral stimulation — that could be eye movements, sounds, or gentle tapping — to help the brain reprocess memories.

​It’s a bit like what happens naturally during REM sleep, when our brain is busy sorting through the day’s events. The aim with EMDR is to reduce the intensity of the emotions tied to painful memories, so they no longer feel as overwhelming. This helps your brain’s natural healing process get back on track, so you can move forward with more ease and peace.

Create Space for Deep Healing with an EMDR Intensive

When life feels nonstop, it can be hard to find the space needed for meaningful healing. EMDR Intensives are designed to offer intentional, focused time away from daily demands so you can fully invest in your healing journey. This approach allows for deeper trauma processing in a supportive, one-on-one setting, often leading to clarity and relief in a shorter period of time.

Whether you choose a single extended session or a multi-day intensive, each experience is thoughtfully structured to provide safety, support, and space to process what you’ve been carrying. EMDR Intensives invite you to slow down, reconnect with your inner strength, and move forward with greater peace and resilience.

Meet Addison Futrell

Addison brings years of experience in trauma-informed care and EMDR therapy to her work with individuals seeking deep, focused healing. Addison is trained in EMDR and has walked alongside children, teens, and adults navigating trauma, grief, anxiety, and life-altering experiences. Her approach is grounded in compassion, clinical excellence, and a deep respect for each person’s story.

Through EMDR Intensives, Addison offers a concentrated, one-on-one therapeutic experience designed for clients who are ready to devote intentional time to healing. She creates a safe, steady environment where clients can process painful memories, develop healthier beliefs, and move toward clarity and emotional freedom. Addison believes healing is possible when the right tools, time, and support come together—and EMDR Intensives allow space for that work to unfold with purpose and care.

Why choose an EMDR Intensive?

Sometimes healing calls for intentional space and focused time away from everyday demands. An EMDR Intensive offers a concentrated, one-on-one experience that allows for deeper trauma processing in a shorter period of time. By dedicating focused sessions to your healing, many clients are able to move through long-standing pain more efficiently, gaining emotional relief and clarity sooner than with traditional weekly therapy.

EMDR Intensives support emotional regulation, increased self-awareness, and lasting resilience. As difficult memories are processed, clients often experience a renewed sense of balance, calm, and confidence in daily life. This approach is about prioritizing yourself—creating space to work through what has been holding you back so you can move forward with greater strength, peace, and freedom.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a structured therapy that helps people recover from trauma and distressing life experiences. It works by using bilateral stimulation, often through guided eye movements, to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact.

WHAT IS EMDR THERAPY?

Close

An EMDR Intensive provides extended sessions over a short period, allowing for in-depth processing without the weekly gaps typical in traditional therapy. This can lead to faster breakthroughs and is ideal for individuals looking for focused, concentrated healing.

HOW DOES AN EMDR INTENSIVE DIFFER FROM REGULAR THERAPY SESSIONS?

Close

EMDR is commonly used to treat PTSD, complex trauma, anxiety, depression, and distressing memories from a range of situations, such as accidents, abuse, and grief. It is also effective for people who feel ‘stuck’ in their healing journey.

WHAT TYPES OF TRAUMA DOES EMDR INTENSIVES HELP WITH?


Close

We offer different options, including 4-hour, 8-hour (over two days), and 16-hour (over three days) sessions. Each session type provides a focused amount of time tailored to the client’s needs and healing goals.

HOW LONG ARE THE EMDR INTENSIVE SESSIONS?

Close

EMDR Intensives are available to individuals who are appropriate for trauma-focused care and are ready to engage in extended, focused therapy sessions. Eligibility is determined through a pre-intensive interview to ensure EMDR Intensives are the right fit for your needs and goals. At this time, Intensives may be offered to existing clients or new clients who complete the required intake and screening process.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR THE EMDR INTENSIVE SESSIONS?



Close

EMDR Intensives are held at The Bunk House, a private, cozy space designed to support focused healing and rest. Overnight accommodations are available at The Bunk House for an additional charge and can be added to your intensive experience if desired.

WHERE ARE EMDR INTENSIVES HELD, AND ARE ACCOMMODATIONS PROVIDED?


Close

The sessions involve structured phases, including history-taking, preparation, and reprocessing of traumatic memories. This approach is designed to help individuals process difficult experiences and gain insight and relief quickly.



What can I expect during emdr intensives?

Close

We recommend getting plenty of rest before the session and bringing comfortable clothing and any personal items that help you feel at ease. Your therapist will provide a full guide on what to expect and how to prepare in advance.

how should i prepare for an emdr intensive session?

Close

Many clients report feeling a significant reduction in distress after just one intensive. However, everyone’s healing journey is unique, and some may need additional sessions for deeper issues or complex trauma.
