The Deepening Intensive
A Three-Day EMDR Intensive for Layered Trauma, Relational Wounds, and Patterns That Keep Repeating
A trauma-informed EMDR intensive for clients who are ready to go deeper with experiences that feel connected across time — without rushing your nervous system or forcing more than your system can hold.
Investment: $5,400
3-Day EMDR Intensive | 6 Hours per Day
Maybe it is not just one thing
You may have done enough reflecting to know this is not random. There is a thread. A belief. A body response. A younger part of you that learned to survive in a way that once made sense — but now feels heavy, exhausting, or limiting.
The Deepening Intensive is designed for clients whose healing feels layered, relational, or connected across time.
This is not about opening everything at once.
It is about creating enough space to follow the pattern with care.
Some healing needs more than momentum. It needs depth.
The Deepening Intensive gives us three protected days to work with trauma patterns that may not fit neatly into one memory or one target.
Instead of focusing only on a single event, this format allows us to explore how experiences may be connected — across relationships, self-beliefs, emotional responses, and nervous system patterns.
Weekly therapy can be deeply supportive, but when layered trauma is spread across short sessions, it can feel like you are constantly touching the edges of the work without having enough time to stay with it. The Deepening Intensive creates space to prepare, process, pause, return, and continue with more steadiness.
This is not about rushing into the deepest material just because there is more time.
It is about giving the work enough room to unfold safely.
This intensive prioritizes:
Depth without flooding
Pacing over pressure
Patterns, not just isolated events
Relational healing with structure
Enough time to return, continue, and integrate
The Deepening Intensive may be right for you if…
You notice patterns that keep repeating in relationships, emotions, or self-beliefs.
You have several connected experiences rather than one isolated event.
You feel like your reactions today are connected to earlier life experiences.
You want sustained EMDR processing with careful pacing.
You need more time for your nervous system to settle between sessions.
You want to go deeper, but still want the work to feel structured, contained, and supported.
Real-world examples:
You shut down whenever conflict happens.
You feel responsible for everyone else’s emotions.
You keep choosing emotionally unavailable people.
You over-explain, over-function, or over-apologize to feel safe.
You feel rejected when someone’s tone changes.
You can see the pattern, but still feel stuck inside it.
You know something is connected to the past, but your body still reacts like it is happening now.
This may not be the right fit if…
The Deepening Intensive is designed for layered work, but it is still a focused three-day therapeutic container.
It may not be the best fit if you have one clearly defined target and want the most contained option possible. In that case, the Core Focus Intensive may be enough.
It may also not be the best fit if your healing needs feel deeply connected to body-based integration, developmental trauma, nervous system survival patterns, or extended post-intensive support. In that case, the Comprehensive Healing Experience may offer the most spacious container.
This intensive is also not crisis care and does not include emergency or on-call support.
You do not have to know this on your own. We will talk through your needs, goals, current stability, and nervous system capacity during consultation.
What is included in the $5,400 Deepening Intensive
Three days of EMDR Intensive Therapy
Three 6-hour intensive days designed to support deeper EMDR processing with careful pacing.
Built-in regulation and integration breaks
Breaks are included throughout each day to support grounding, emotional pacing, and nervous system safety.
Space to follow connected patterns
This format allows us to work with several connected experiences, relational themes, or emotional patterns without rushing to close everything too quickly.
Focused treatment planning
We clarify the themes, targets, and patterns that are most clinically appropriate to address within the intensive.
Integration between intensive days
You will receive guidance for rest, grounding, and between-day care so your system has time to settle before we continue.
Follow-up integration support
A follow-up session supports reflection, regulation, and next steps after the intensive.
Important note:
Required preparation is completed before the intensive. Preparation sessions are billed separately at $150 per session.
How the Deepening Intensive unfolds
Phase 1: Preparation
Before the intensive, we clarify what you are bringing into the work, assess readiness, identify connected targets or themes, and build the resources your nervous system may need.
Phase 2: Day One — Opening the Pattern With Care
The first day helps us begin the work with structure. We identify what is most ready for attention, begin EMDR processing, and track how your system responds.
Phase 3: Day Two — Following the Thread
The second day allows us to return to the work with continuity. This is often where connected memories, beliefs, emotions, or body responses become clearer. We move carefully, without forcing your system to go faster than it can hold.
Phase 4: Day Three — Deepening and Closing With Intention
The third day gives us time to continue processing, support integration, and create a more intentional closure. The goal is not to leave you open and activated, but to help your system settle around what has shifted.
Phase 5: Follow-Up Integration
After the intensive, we meet to reflect on what changed, what still feels tender, and what next steps may be supportive.
The goal is not to process everything you have ever been through.
The goal is to give the most important patterns enough room to move with care.
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
Breaks are therapy.
Rest is part of the work.
Pacing is part of the treatment.
What This Experience Is Designed to Support
✓ EMDR processing for layered or connected trauma patterns
✓ Deeper understanding of the beliefs, emotions, and body responses tied to the work
✓ Time to follow relational wounds, attachment themes, or repeating patterns with care
✓ More continuity than a one- or two-day intensive can offer
✓ Nervous system support so the work does not move faster than your system can hold
✓ Space to pause, return, and continue without forcing closure too quickly
✓ Grounding and regulation practices to support integration after the intensive
✓ A clearer sense of what shifted, what still needs care, and what ongoing support may be helpful
Why choose three days?
Sometimes the work is too connected for one day and too layered for two.
A three-day intensive gives us more room to follow the thread — not just the event, but the belief, the body response, the relational pattern, and the way the past may still be shaping the present.
This can be especially helpful when you know your current reactions are connected to earlier experiences, but the pattern has felt hard to shift through insight alone.
Three days gives the work more continuity.
More space to settle.
More room to return.
More time to close with care.
This is not about choosing the biggest option.
It is about choosing enough support for the depth of what you are carrying.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Deepening Intensive
Is this covered by insurance?
No. EMDR intensives are private-pay services and are not billed to insurance.
Do I need to know exactly what I want to process?
You do not need to arrive with everything perfectly organized. During preparation, we will clarify the patterns, targets, and themes that are most appropriate for this intensive.
Is this emotionally intense?
It can be. Because this intensive works with layered trauma patterns, emotions, body sensations, fatigue, dreams, tenderness, or delayed processing may show up. The work is paced carefully, with breaks and grounding built in.
How is this different from Sustained Momentum?
Sustained Momentum is best for one or two connected targets. Deepening is more supportive when the work feels layered, relational, or connected across several experiences.
How is this different from the Comprehensive Healing Experience?
The Comprehensive Healing Experience includes the most spacious support, with more body-based integration, a customized somatic routine, workbook support, and extended integration. Deepening offers sustained trauma processing over three days without the full comprehensive integration container.
Is this for complex trauma?
It may be supportive for layered or relational trauma. If your trauma is complex, developmental, or deeply body-based, we will talk during consultation about whether Deepening or Comprehensive Healing is the best fit.
What happens between intensive days?
Your system may continue processing after each day. You will be encouraged to rest, reduce unnecessary stress, hydrate, eat nourishing food, and use grounding or regulation practices.
What happens after the intensive?
You will complete follow-up integration support to reflect on what shifted, support regulation, and identify next steps.
