A Different Approach to Therapy
Although traditional therapy is weekly, there are other ways to do individual therapy. Intensive therapy gives the opportunity to do a lot of work in a short space of time without the distractions and demands of daily life.
Over 3 days you can do what you could usually do over nearly 6 months. If 3 days feels like too much then have a look at my 1 or 2 day packages. Intensive therapy works particularly well for trauma and chronic pain as it gives you space to focus and make quicker progress.
Why consider Intensive Therapy?
Powerful
Working intensively can give you time and space to work at a deeper more profound level. There’s space to focus and not get distracted.
Individualised
These retreats do not follow a prescribed formula. Therapy is tailored to your needs and wishes.
Efficient
There are so many demands in modern day life that working intensively means being able to recognise the difference sooner.
“Working with Abby in intensive day sessions was invaluable for me. We made such progress each day. I really valued how productive each session was and that we didn’t have to spend the beginning recapping to where we had last got to; instead we flowed seamlessly through.”
“During one intensive weekend, we were able to cover four or five major areas of my life in two days, in a way that would otherwise have taken several months to explore. It meant we could go much deeper into each one, and I reached insights I’m not sure I ever would have in our weekly sessions. That space, combined with the EMDR work, helped me release emotions in quite a physical and visceral way. It was an intense way to work on emotional issues, but one that I’m sure accelerated the journey to recovery that I now feel firmly and confidently on.”
Intensive Therapy Retreats are run from my therapy space near Wedmore, Somerset. If you require accommodation there are a number of different options in the local area. Intensive therapy days usually start at 10am and go on until 4pm with a number of breaks during the day that work for you and are flexible depending on how the work is going or what you need. Intensive therapy can include any of the therapy modalities that I am trained in but work particularly well for EMDR.
