Intensive EMDR treatment benefits

An intensive EMDR therapy program may involve longer and more frequent sessions over a shorter period of time compared to traditional EMDR therapy. This concentrated approach can be beneficial for individuals who want to address trauma-related issues more rapidly or who may have scheduling constraints that make regular weekly therapy sessions challenging.
