Comprehensive Healing Experience:
A 4-Day EMDR Intensive for Deep Trauma Healing & Somatic Integration
A private, trauma-informed EMDR intensive for clients who are ready for depth, embodiment, nervous system support, and meaningful integration — not just another hour of therapy squeezed into a busy week.
Has your mind been holding on to too much for too long, or your body been through too much too fast?
Some healing requires more space, more pacing, and more support than weekly therapy can hold.
The Comprehensive Healing Experience is designed for people carrying complex trauma, developmental trauma, or long-standing emotional patterns who are ready for a slower, deeper, more supported way of working. This is not about rushing your nervous system or forcing a breakthrough. It is about creating a protected therapeutic container where your mind and body have time to process, settle, and integrate the parts of you that have been disconnected in order to survive.
Investment: $7,200
Flexible payment options available
Includes: 4 days of EMDR intensive therapy, somatic integration, two follow-up sessions, a guided integration workbook, customized somatic routine, and a 30-day integration arc.
This experience may be for you if healing has felt layered, not linear.
You may have done therapy before. You may understand your patterns. You may even have language for your trauma, your nervous system, and your triggers.
But insight does not always mean your body feels free.
Maybe you still feel braced in relationships. Maybe old experiences show up as anxiety, shutdown, over-responsibility, emotional flooding, numbness, or difficulty trusting safety when it is finally available. Maybe you are not looking for a quick fix — you are looking for a space where the complexity of your story will not be minimized.
This experience is for the person who does not need to be pushed harder.
You need to be supported more deeply.
This is where a comprehensive EMDR intensive for complex trauma can offer a different kind of support — one that gives your nervous system enough time to process without being rushed back into daily life too quickly.
You may be carrying…
Complex or Developmental Trauma
Maybe it was not one single event. Maybe it was years of having to adapt, stay alert, stay quiet, or become who you needed to be in order to survive.
This can look like:
Growing up walking on eggshells
Being the “easy one” or the “responsible one”
Not having an emotionally safe adult to turn to
Feeling like your body learned survival before it learned rest
Relationship Wounds or Attachment Injuries
You may want connection, but your nervous system may still associate closeness with danger, loss, disappointment, or having to abandon yourself.
This can look like:
Feeling anxious when someone takes too long to respond
Struggling to ask for what you need
Staying quiet to avoid conflict
Feeling responsible for other people’s emotions
Expecting rejection even when things are going well
Long-Standing Emotional Patterns
You may understand your patterns, but still feel caught in them. Insight helps, but sometimes the body needs more support to respond differently.
This can look like:
Overthinking every text
Feeling rejected when someone’s tone changes
Getting angry faster than you want to
Going numb when emotions feel too big
Know what you “should” do, but feeling unable to put the vice down in the moment
A nervous system that has been in survival mode for too long
You may be functioning, achieving, caregiving, and holding everything together — while your body is still living as if it has to stay ready for the next threat.
This can look like:
Feeling tired but unable to relax
Needing control to feel safe
Being productive but disconnected
Feeling guilty when you rest
Always scanning for what could go wrong
Crashing after holding it together all day
This is more than extended EMDR. It is a full healing container.
The Comprehensive Healing Experience goes beyond trauma processing alone. It is designed to support how healing is felt, embodied, and sustained after the intensive ends.
Over 4 days, we use EMDR therapy, nervous system pacing, somatic awareness, rest, reflection, and integration practices to support your system without overwhelming it. The goal is not to “get through as much as possible.” The goal is to work with what your system is ready to process and support the changes that begin to emerge.
This intensive prioritizes:
Safety over speed
Depth without overwhelm
Embodiment, not just insight
Integration beyond the therapy room
A slower pace for complex healing
This may be right for you if…
You have complex trauma, developmental trauma, or long-standing emotional patterns.
Your healing feels connected to both your mind and your body.
You notice patterns in relationships, emotions, self-beliefs, or nervous system responses.
You want trauma processing with spacious pacing and integration.
You tend to need time to settle after emotionally intense work.
You want a highly supported experience that extends beyond the intensive itself.
You are seeking not just symptom relief, but more embodied, sustainable change.
This is not for the person who wants to force healing. This is for the person who is ready to listen to the body with support.
This may not be the right fit if…
The Comprehensive Healing Experience is deep therapeutic work, but it is not crisis care, emergency support, or a replacement for all ongoing therapy when ongoing care is clinically needed.
This may not be the right fit if you are currently in acute crisis, need on-call support, are unable to reduce responsibilities during the intensive window, or are looking for a guaranteed outcome within a specific timeframe.
EMDR intensives are private-pay services and are not billed to insurance. Preparation and integration are required parts of the process, not optional add-ons.
If a different level of care would be more supportive, we can discuss that during consultation.
What is included in the $7,200 Comprehensive Healing Experience
This is a full therapeutic container during and after the intensive days, with required preparation completed beforehand to ensure safety, readiness, and pacing.
Required Preparation Before Your Intensive
You do not need to be a current client to apply for this intensive. However, at least 4 preparation sessions are required before the intensive begins to assess readiness, clarify treatment targets, build stabilization, and prepare your nervous system for deeper work.
Preparation sessions are separate from the $7,200 intensive investment and are billed separately at $150 per session.
At this time, the Comprehensive Healing Experience is offered fully online/virtually.
During the Intensive
4 intensive EMDR days
Built-in regulation breaks
Two integration sessions

How the Comprehensive Healing Experience unfolds
Phase 1: Preparation
Before the intensive, we meet for four preparation sessions. These sessions help us clarify what you are bringing into the work, assess readiness, build resources, and create enough stabilization for deeper processing.
Phase 2: The Intensive Days
During the four intensive days, we move through EMDR processing with careful pacing, breaks, grounding, and somatic support. The work is structured, but not rigid. We follow the clinical map while staying responsive to your nervous system.
Phase 3: Somatic Integration
Because trauma does not only live in thoughts or memories, this experience includes body-based integration. This may include breathwork, gentle movement, somatic release, and trauma-informed yoga practices tailored to what your system needs.
Phase 4: Follow-Up Integration
After the intensive, you receive two integration sessions within 30 days. These sessions help you make sense of what shifted, support emotional and physiological regulation, and identify what ongoing care may be helpful.
What a Typical Intensive Day May Look Like
Each day is thoughtfully structured to balance depth, pacing, and nervous system safety. Timing may be adjusted based on clinical need and how your system is responding.
Sample Day:
9:00–10:30 a.m. — EMDR Processing Block
10:30–10:45 a.m. — Integration Break
10:45 a.m.–12:15 p.m. — EMDR Processing Block
12:15–1:15 p.m. — Extended Rest & Integration Break
1:15–3:00 p.m. — EMDR Processing Block
3:00–3:15 p.m. — Integration Break
3:15–4:00 p.m. — EMDR Processing Block
4:00–4:30 p.m. — Debriefing, Grounding, and Closure
The goal is not to leave you open and activated. The goal is to help your system process, settle, and carry the work back into your real life.
Breaks are therapy.
Rest is part of the work.
Pacing is part of the treatment.
Why the Body Matters in Trauma Healing
Trauma healing is not only about remembering differently. It is also about helping the body experience safety differently. Somatic integration means bringing the body into the healing process. After trauma, your mind may understand that something is over, but your body may still feel guarded, tense, numb, or on alert.
Through grounding, breathwork, gentle movement, somatic skills, trauma-informed yoga, and nervous system awareness, somatic integration helps your body begin to settle and reconnect. The goal is not to force release, but to support your system in feeling safe enough to process, soften, and carry the work into daily life.
Many people can explain their trauma clearly, but still feel activated, shut down, disconnected, tense, guarded, or overwhelmed in their bodies. That is why this experience includes somatic integration, trauma-informed yoga practices, breathwork, and nervous system reflection.
Your integration workbook supports preparation, processing, and integration while giving you permission to move slowly, skip sections, return later, or use it as a reference rather than homework.
This is not about performing healing correctly. It is about increasing your capacity to stay with yourself safely.
Support continues after the intensive ends
The days after an EMDR intensive matter.
Processing may continue through emotions, dreams, body sensations, insights, fatigue, tenderness, or a new sense of clarity. The Comprehensive Healing Experience includes a guided integration workbook and a 30-day integration arc to help you stay connected to the work without turning healing into homework.
The workbook includes reflection around intentions, resourcing, nervous system mapping, how memory lives in the body, closure, somatic integration practices, a between-session care plan, and a 30-day integration arc.
You will not be expected to figure it all out alone after the intensive.

Why choose an EMDR intensive instead of weekly therapy?
Weekly therapy can be deeply valuable. And sometimes, the traditional weekly model can feel limiting — especially when it takes time to settle in, approach the work, process, and then close before the session ends.
An EMDR intensive offers extended therapeutic time so we can stay with the work more continuously. This can be especially supportive when trauma patterns are layered, connected, or difficult to access in shorter sessions.
This does not mean faster is always better. There is no advantage to moving faster than your nervous system can comfortably tolerate. The right intensive is the one that supports healing without overwhelm.
The Comprehensive Healing Experience is not about rushing the process. It is about giving the process enough room.
