So, you’re considering EMDR therapy, but you’re not sure whether to go for the regular weekly sessions or invest in an EMDR intensive. Let’s break it down and help you decide what might work best for you.
Regular Weekly EMDR Therapy
What is it?
Weekly EMDR therapy follows the traditional model, where you meet with your therapist once a week for a 50-minute session. This approach allows you to work through your trauma or issues gradually over time.
Benefits:
- Regular and consistent support.
- Time to process and integrate each session’s work.
- Fits well into a regular schedule for some people.
Considerations:
- It may take longer to see significant progress.
- Some people prefer a more concentrated approach.
- Can be expensive if there is a high deductible or large copays.
EMDR Intensive
What is it?
An EMDR intensive typically involves several hours of EMDR therapy in a single day or over a few consecutive days. This approach allows you to dive deep into your healing process in a shorter period.
Benefits:
- Rapid progress and results.
- Immersive experience can lead to profound insights and breakthroughs in a very short period of time.
- May be more convenient for those with busy schedules.
- Helpful if someone is struggling with daily functioning or on FMLA and needs rapid relief.
Considerations:
- Emotionally intense and may require more downtime afterward.
- Finding consecutive days free can be challenging.
- Investing financially isn’t an option for everyone.
