A Deep Dive for Transformative Healing
Brainspotting Trauma Intensives offer a powerful alternative to weekly therapy sessions, creating a concentrated space for profound healing and transformation. These personalized intensive experiences are designed to help you process trauma more deeply and efficiently than conventional therapy alone can provide.
What Is a Brainspotting Intensive?
A Brainspotting Intensive is a personalized, immersive healing experience that allows for deeper processing of trauma in a compressed timeframe. Unlike traditional weekly therapy, intensives create a continuous container for healing work that can lead to breakthroughs difficult to achieve in hour-long sessions
What to Expect from an Intensive (Flexible Format Available)
I typically offer intensives in half-day, full-day, or multi-day formats, tailored around your specific goals and needs. While there is a general structure to guide the process, such as goal-setting, deep processing sessions, and integration support, we also recognize that every person is different. The structure, pace, and focus of the intensive can be adjusted to meet your comfort level and what feels most helpful to you. A common intensive format may include a 3-day structure with 3–4 hour sessions each day, or a 2-day option with two 3-hour sessions per day. Breaks are incorporated as needed to support rest and integration.
Comprehensive Support:
A free intake session before the intensive to establish goals and readiness
Customized breaks as needed during processing
A free follow-up session two weeks after to integrate insights and progress
Benefits of the Intensive Format
Deeper Processing: Extended sessions allow us to follow your brain's natural healing rhythm without the constraints of a standard therapy hour. When powerful material emerges, we can stay with it rather than having to pause until next week.
Accelerated Progress: Accomplish in days what might otherwise take months of weekly sessions. Many clients report significant shifts in their relationship to traumatic material after just one intensive.
Breakthrough for Complex or Stuck Issues: The intensive format is particularly powerful for processing trauma that has been resistant to other approaches or seems too complex to address in traditional sessions.
Tailored, Immersive Experience: Each intensive is customized to your specific needs, allowing for a fluid approach that responds to what emerges in the moment.
Efficient Use of Time: For busy professionals or those traveling for therapy, intensives maximize healing work while minimizing time away from other responsibilities.
Post-Work Integration Support: The follow-up session ensures you have guidance as you integrate the profound shifts that often occur during intensives.
Ideal Candidates for Trauma Intensives
Highly motivated for focused healing work
Experiencing stuckness in traditional weekly therapy
Processing single-event or complex trauma
Able to tolerate longer emotional processing sessions
Have adequate emotional support or coping tools
The Intensive Experience
Foundation Setting: We begin by establishing safety and resources, clarifying intentions, and setting the container for our work together.
Deep Processing: Using Brainspotting techniques, we locate and process the neurophysiological sources of trauma stored in your brain and body.
Integration Periods: Breaks are incorporated as needed to allow for rest, hydration, and initial integration of the material that emerges.
Closure and Resourcing: Each day concludes with grounding exercises and preparation for the next session or for your return to daily life.
Follow-Up Support: Two weeks after your intensive, we reconnect to process your experience, address any questions, and support continued integration.
What Makes Brainspotting Intensives Unique
The power of Brainspotting combined with the intensive format creates a uniquely effective healing environment. By maintaining focused attention on specific brainspots over extended periods, your brain's natural healing mechanisms can work more efficiently and thoroughly than in brief sessions.
As your practitioner, I'll create a safe, supportive container while trusting your brain's innate wisdom to guide the healing process. This approach honors both the science of neurobiological healing and the unique way your system processes trauma.
