Intensive Therapy Retreats in East Aurora, New York
Why should you consider an Intensive Therapy Retreat? While traditional individual therapy hourly sessions are effective, they are not necessarily efficient. Does this sound familiar? You fit sessions into your busy life, often rushing to arrive on time, then need time to settle in before starting therapy, only to soon feel that it's time to wrap things up and rush off to your next obligation. Intensive therapy retreats afford you the time to fully immerse yourself in your personal work. Please note that retreats are limited to those 21 and older.
Single-day or weekend personal intensive therapy retreats are held at beautiful Lost Elms with 250 acres of barns, pastures, fields and woods. Intensive therapy retreats are for those who prefer to immerse themselves in working on a specific issue or issues over a day, weekend or extended weekend.
What to expect:
If you live close enough, an initial in-person session is ideal. If not, then an hour phone or virtual consultation is needed. This affords you the opportunity to get to know me and for us to begin to clarify what your intentions and goals are for the intensive therapy retreat. We will schedule the initial consultation at least two weeks in advance of the retreat.
A typical full day (single day or weekend) involves two to three extended sessions with or without horses including mindfulness, strengthening coping strategies, somatically integrated EMDR and EquiLateral EMDR. Weekend retreats can be very powerful in supporting your healing and allow for more flexibility. There will be time to exercise, stroll around the small lake and woods, read, draw and relax. Therapy is hard work –sometimes a nap in the middle of the day is just what is needed, We can adjust our schedule easily during a weekend retreat,
Follow up sessions with your primary therapist (if you have one), me or, at least, a phone/virtual consultation with me is strongly recommended to support all the hard work you accomplished.
