What is Brainspotting Intensive Therapy?
Brainspotting Intensive Therapy is a powerful way to accelerate the healing that you would experience in a typical therapy session. Rather than going to counseling for an hour session once a week, you would set aside a specific chunk of time- 4 hours for 1-2 days – for intensive therapeutic work. it is a concentrated way to get the power of Brainspotting without having time in between sessions. It’s an expansive opportunity to explore and process further and move forward more quickly.
How does it work?
Prior to the Brainspotting Intensive, we meet for a 60-minute Pre-Intensive Interview to determine the goal of the intensive. We will look at what your life looks like now (your support system, stressors, ways you cope, and what you’d like to see improve or be different). During the Brainspotting Intensive we will work to release the remnants of painful experiences held within you and to rebuild your mind-body connection, supporting you in reintegrating all parts of your Self and bringing more peace to your internal system. We do this by integrating traditional Brainspotting with other somatic practices, primarily The Trauma-Conscious Yoga Method, weaving in resourcing/grounding and exploratory activities like guided meditation, breathing practices, mindful movement, and/or artwork. This process is very personal and customized to you. After the Brainspotting Intensive, we meet for a 60-minute Post-Intensive Interview to reflect on the elements that were most meaningful to you and how you want to infuse that into your life moving forward. We may also discuss whether additional intensive sessions or following up with individual therapy may be helpful for you.

How it Works
What does a Brainspotting Intensive Include?
All Intensives include a 60-minute Pre & Post Intensive Interview. The cost and time commitment depend on the number of 4 hour Intensives you wish to book. Here’s an idea of how it might break down for you, keeping in mind that this is the cost WITHOUT any assistance from an insurance company. And yes, you can always add an additional 4-hour Intensive session at any time!
