“EMDR is the key when talking isn’t enough... when the body is still holding what the mind understands.”

Focused Trauma Healing with EMDR

If you’ve done the talking… If you understand why you are the way you are… and your body still reacts like the past is happening right now.  EMDR intensives are designed to help your nervous system reprocess what talking alone can’t reach.


This is not about reliving trauma.  It’s about helping your brain and body file it correctly, so the past stops interrupting the present.

What is an EMDR counseling intensive?

An EMDR intensive is a concentrated, trauma-focused therapy experience that allows for deeper processing in a shorter timeframe than traditional weekly sessions.


EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) supports your brain in doing what overwhelming experiences often interrupt: processing and storing memories in a way that no longer feels dangerous or activating. 


 Best for:

  • High-functioning, but emotionally exhausted
  • Persistent triggers and emotional reactivity
  • Feeling “stuck” despite insight and effort
  • Wanting focused momentum with structure and support


We assess readiness together in the pre-session to ensure pacing and emotional safety.

The Structure: Why this Format Matters

The EMDR intensive is intentionally structured to support your nervous system before, during, and after deep trauma processing.  Rather than compressing EMDR into one long appointment and sending you back into life without support, this structure creates a contained, ethical, and trauma-responsive arc of care.


The 90-minute pre-session is where we slow things down before going deep. This phase ensures that the work is intentional and safe, rather than rushed or reactive.  The 4-hour intensive is the heart of the experience, but it is not four hours of nonstop processing.  When we remove the pressure of a traditional time limit, we allow your system the space it needs to process rather than perform.  The after care and integration session, examines and reflects on the work we did and examine how the results allowed you to show up in your life.

Why Choose EMDR Intensives

Trauma doesn’t always unfold neatly inside 50 minutes. Intensives allow us to stay with the work long enough for meaningful shifts to occur, without leaving you holding it alone for a weeks at a time.


  • Continuity (less “start-stop” emotional fatigue)
  • Depth (enough time to move from insight to integration)
  • Support (regulation before, during, and after)
  • Momentum (targeted work that creates ripple effects)

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at DrRos@brownbeatty.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

 

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a trauma-informed therapy approach that helps the brain and body process experiences that were too overwhelming to fully integrate at the time they occurred.

When something distressing happens, the nervous system can get “stuck” in survival mode. Even long after the event is over, the body may continue to react as if the danger is still present—through anxiety, emotional reactivity, intrusive memories, or feeling easily overwhelmed.

EMDR works by supporting the brain’s natural healing process so those memories can be reprocessed and stored in a way that no longer feels activating or unsafe.


 

Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR does not rely on retelling your story over and over.

Instead, EMDR uses bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements, tapping, or tones) to help the brain reprocess distressing memories while staying grounded in the present.

This allows:

  • The emotional charge of the memory to decrease
     
  • New, healthier beliefs to take root
     
  • The nervous system to settle and regulate
     

You are not reliving the trauma—you are reprocessing it with support, so it no longer has the same hold on you.


 

EMDR is effective for:

  • Trauma and emotional triggers
     
  • Grief and loss
     
  • Childhood or relational wounds
     
  • Anxiety and chronic stress responses
     
  • Attachment injuries and patterns that repeat despite insight
     

Many clients say EMDR helps their body finally “catch up” to what they already know intellectually.
