Can’t Commit to Weekly Therapy? Here’s Why EMDR Intensives Are a Game-Changer for Busy Lives
Let’s be real: life is busy. Between work, family, errands, and the never-ending list of things to do, finding time for weekly therapy can feel like adding yet another thing to your already overflowing plate. You might know you need support—but who has the time?
That’s where EMDR intensives come in, and trust me, they’re not your typical therapy experience. These power-packed sessions are designed for people like you: driven, busy, and ready to tackle trauma head-on without waiting months for progress.
Why Weekly Therapy Feels Impossible (and You’re Not Alone)
Life doesn’t slow down just because you’re struggling. For many of us, committing to weekly therapy feels like:
Finding time: Between meetings, soccer practice, and life, who can spare an hour every week?
Staying consistent: Let’s be honest, life happens—work deadlines, travel, or that flu that keeps circling the house.
Feeling the progress crawl: Weekly sessions can feel like driving across the country in a car stuck in first gear.
Does this sound familiar? If so, it’s not that therapy isn’t for you—it’s that the format might not be the right fit. And that’s where EMDR intensives shine.
What Makes EMDR Intensives a Perfect Fit for Busy People
