During your intensive, the time between sessions is greatly reduced, which lessens the need to address symptoms that can arise between typical sessions that are scheduled around busy life. The focus is all on you and you have the opportunity to focus completely on the process. While the pace is determined by you, intensives allow rapid accomplishment of your personal goals. Relief comes quickly and changes from negative to positive thought patterns are activated and accomplished with lasting results.
Intensive packages are designed and customized with consideration of the needs and schedule of the individual participant.
All intensives include a no-cost consultation for planning and a follow-up to review progress and/or additional needs and the implementation of agreed upon next steps.
Intensives offer busy people the relief and results they need with efficient scheduling. Arena EMDR Intensives offer extra support and allow more work within a shorter timeline. An intensive is personalized to your needs and designed to support your goals as well as your schedule.
Intensives are available to anyone and are especially convenient for those who:
The presence of horses offers support and helps build confidence for processing of traumatic experiences or exposure. Processing an experience means to make sense of it and no longer be disturbed by it.
Intensives offer the opportunity to move in and out of the difficult material while staying present and moving through it.
The end goal of EMDR is adaptive resolution - an elimination of symptoms related to the underlying trauma including a shift in memories which become more neutral, less emotional and are no longer intrusive. Completion of treatment offers lasting results.
Let us help you design a plan to reach your treatment goals and set a pace that is right for you on your wellness journey,

An assessment is important for you to be confident and entrust your care to us and to know that Arena EMDR Intensives will be a beneficial format for you. An assessment can be completed in one of the following ways, or a combination:
The first session includes an introduction to us and the helpful herd and an orientation to the setting where sessions will take place. The initial sessions include the early phases of EMDR and history taking, treatment planning, preparation and discharge planning.
These sessions will be used to reprocess the identified life experience or circumstances and reduce the associated distress. The estimated number of additional sessions will be determined at the initial session.
This session is important for reviewing your progress and ensuring that there is a plan for addressing anything that may need additional attention. This session may be done on site or by video chat.
