EMDR Intensives: Supporting Focused, Continuous Trauma Therapy
-
Intensives condense weeks or months of therapy into a shorter timeframe, allowing clients to maintain therapeutic momentum.
-
Intensives provide longer blocks of uninterrupted time, allowing clients to stay immersed in the work and therapists to work more flexibly with clinical material as it emerges.
-
Rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach, EMDR Intensives are tailored to each client's formulation, treatment goals and clinical needs.
Why Therapists Choose EMDR Intensives
EMDR Intensives offer a flexible, focused and sustainable approach to delivering trauma therapy.
-
Working with one client over several consecutive hours or days allows greater flexibility to allow processing to unfold, without the time constraints of standard therapy sessions.
-
The intensive model offers an alternative way of structuring your clinical week, allowing dedicated time for client work alongside supervision, professional development, administration, research or business activities. Fewer clients per day means fewer transitions and for many, less emotional load, supporting your long-term wellbeing.
-
Whether you plan to offer occasional Intensives or develop a practice primarily centred around intensive treatment, the model provides flexibility to design services that align with your clinical interests, lifestyle and business goals.
-
The Lumify Health Intensive Model was developed through clinical experience delivering EMDR Intensives in private practice and refined through a pilot evaluation presented at the 2026 EMDRAA Conference.
Our EMDR Intensives in Private Practice course combines evidence-informed clinical decision-making with practical implementation strategies, helping therapists establish an Intensive service that is safe, ethical and responsive to the individual needs of each client.
