EMDR INTENSIVES
Changing the memories that form the way we see ourselves also changes the way we view others. Therefore, our relationships, job performance, what we are willing to do or are able to resist - all move in a positive direction

WHAT IS EMDR?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a highly effective trauma treatment that allows for the brain to access its own ability to heal. With a trained EMDR therapist, you are guided safely through your traumatic experiences and supported towards healing. Kelly Klene reports “clients are able to access similar insights and growth as with more typical talk therapy, but they are able to access it much more quickly. What might take six months in talk therapy may take a single session with the use of EMDR.”
To learn more about EMDR please visit the EMDR international association website. There you can find information on how EMDR works, articles and publications about the efficacy of EMDR, and information about the requirements for EMDR therapists.
WHAT IS AN EMDR INTENSIVE?
An EMDR Intensive is a period of several hours designed to allow the brain to resume its natural healing processes through eye movement. It helps the individual resolve unprocessed traumatic memories without detailed memory recall through talking. EMDR therapy is widely recognized by professional organizations as an effective method for treating trauma and PTSD, including the American Psychiatric Association, the American Psychological Association, the United Kingdom’s National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, the U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs/Dept. of Defense, and the World Health Organization, to name a few.
Cairn Counseling offers half-day (3 hours) and full-day (6 hours) Intensives to allow for more movement to happen in the session time, often cutting down on the total number of hours to integrate the memory. For many clients, this therapy can be completed in fewer sessions than other types of therapies.
