The Financial Investment of EMDR Intensives: Why It’s Worth It
You’ve already tried to manage it — the anxiety, the overthinking, the emotional weight you carry even on “good” days. You’re functioning. Showing up. Doing all the things. But under the surface, it’s taking a toll.
And now you’re looking at something like an EMDR intensive.
Something that promises real movement.
Something that costs more than a co-pay.
And maybe that stirs something complicated in you — hope, hesitation, a little guilt for even considering putting yourself first. That makes sense. You’re thoughtful. And this matters.
But here’s the truth: the cost of staying stuck is often way higher than the one written on an invoice.
What Are You Actually Paying For?
An EMDR intensive isn’t just “a longer therapy session.” It’s a focused, immersive healing experience — personalized to you from beginning to end.
When you invest in an intensive, you’re investing in:
• A pre-session consultation to map out your goals
• A customized session plan with targeted resourcing
• 2 to 6 hours of uninterrupted EMDR therapy
• Breaks, grounding, and space to actually breathe
• A therapist trained in trauma, EMDR, and perinatal mental health
• A personalized aftercare and integration plan
• Follow-up support to help the work stick
You’re not just buying time. You’re buying transformation.
What Are You Saving?
Time, for one. Weekly therapy is powerful — but it can take months (or even years) to get to the root of what’s holding you back.
In an intensive, you get to stay in the process without pausing every 50 minutes. No starting and stopping. No warming up and cooling down. Just deep, supported work — with real momentum.
You’re also saving emotional energy. Because dragging unresolved trauma behind you week after week, year after year? That takes a toll, too.
Therapist note:
When a mom tells me, “I’ve been talking about this for years and I still feel stuck,” I know it’s time for a different approach. That’s where intensives shine.
What If I’m Not Sure I Can Justify the Cost?
You’re not being selfish for asking that question. You’re being smart.
But let’s reframe it a bit:
What has not healing already cost you?
• Sleepless nights
• Tension in your relationships
• Snapping at your kids
• Anxiety that makes your chest feel tight all day
• Second-guessing everything
• Feeling like you’re “too much” or “not enough” — all the time
• The loss of time, peace, presence
This isn’t about guilt. It’s about choice. Because if you’re already paying the cost emotionally — why not reallocate some of that into your healing?
