Have you ever felt like talk therapy has been ineffective?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a powerful therapy that helps people heal from overwhelming life experiences. EMDR is an incredible tool that can help individuals process their experience in a healthy way, leading to improved mental health outcomes.

EMDR intensives help people to feel better faster and provide a way to take EMDR therapy to the next level. This is a chance to process and resolve the pain of the past in a format that allows for quicker results than traditional therapy. 

These intensive sessions offer an intense focus on healing and can either support progress occurring in talk therapy or eliminate the need for weekly therapy sessions. EMDR intensives can be customized depending on your individual needs, and typically last 4-8 hours. Week long EMDR intensive retreats are also available.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a type of psychotherapy used to treat overwhelming life experiences. EMDR helps people process overwhelming memories and negative core beliefs in a more effective way, allowing them to move forward in life with greater emotional clarity.

  • The way that EMDR works is through a series of bilateral stimulation techniques. This includes eye movements, sounds, or tapping that alternate between the right and left sides of the body. EMDR helps to process overwhelming life experiences and negative core beliefs in shorter amounts of time than just traditional talk therapy alone. EMDR allows you to get right to the core of your issues and rapidly resolve them.

  • Like a lot of people, you might not have time for weekly therapy. What’s more, you may find that improvement happens very slowly because of how infrequent sessions are. An EMDR intensive sidesteps this hurdle by taking a break to retreat away from your day-to-day life and immerse yourself in a deeply focused healing process. Intensives are customized to your needs and can ranges from a series of half days or full days at a time.

    An EMDR intensive provides a chance to process and resolve your trauma and stress in an individualized way with someone who can devote their entire day(s) to you. It’s an accelerated approach for people who are ready to be free from their past and move forward in their lives!

About EMDR Intensives

The traditional model of weekly psychotherapy is shifting to meet your needs. Now more than ever, we need flexibility in how we get support.

Perhaps you’ve been meaning to get into weekly therapy for a while now, but your schedule has been so hectic and demanding that a weekly therapy appointment feels more overwhelming than supportive.

Perhaps you’re needing help — and a lot of it — right now, and you don’t want to spend months in the traditional weekly model of therapy treatment to feel better.

  • “I’ve worked with Rebecca for over a year now. I learned many things about myself that gave me an understanding of why I behaved the way I did in the past and why I behave the way I do now. However, for about the first six months of therapy, my sessions were conducted via teletherapy due to the Covid 19 pandemic. It wasn’t until I was able to meet Rebecca in person and she was able to perform EMDR that I “finally” gained a deep understanding of where my fears, anger, sadness, insecurities, etc. originated.

    EMDR Client

  • I’ve had about three EMDR sessions, but it wasn’t until the second session, that I had an “Ah Ha” moment. I was in tears; my emotions ran high. I finally learned the “whys” of my behaviors and beliefs. It was like a weight being lifted off my shoulders. I’ve regained my hope, confidence, and positive self-esteem. I now feel confident that my relationship with my fiancé will continue to grow more intimate; that I won’t sabotage relationships with family, friends, and co-workers; and that I can walk through life with a bounce in my step, rather than aimlessly dragging my feet. My advice to anyone considering EMDR… Just Do It!”

  • "My experience at Soul Space truly changed my life, it healed me. After Soul Space I was able to take my life back and no longer live in fear, but live in joy for the coming days ahead of me."

  • "The EMDR session that I did with Rebecca was amazing! She was able to help me see what the root of my problem was and was able to resolve it in such a quick time frame. The therapy has helped me in so many ways and I am forever grateful for the Intensive I did."

    EMDR Intensive Client

  • After a difficult couple of years, I was dealing with a high-level of anxiety, specifically around my health, and felt like I was stuck in a rut, seemingly unable to make changes in my life. I found Rebecca & SoulSpace via a google search and booked a half-day EMDR intensive, without knowing what to expect. Rebecca offered excellent pre-session support and guidance and was a joy to work with. After one half-day session of EMDR, I started seeing an improvement in my mood, a reduction in anxiety, better sleep and have been able to start making positive changes in my life again. Booking EMDR with Rebecca was one of the best things I've done for myself in a long-time, and I cannot recommend her enough!

  • I completed the 4 hour EMDR counseling session with Rebecca Hamlin and it genuinely changed the trajectory of my life. EMDR with Rebecca broke through strong holds in my thought processes like nothing I have ever done before. I was able to process through my past in a safe, healing, and comfortable space with this kind and therapeutic trauma informed counselor. I have been set free from years of trauma in a way that would have otherwise taken months and years by completing the intensive method. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. Would recommend this incredibly challenging but fruitful process to any of my friends or family that need healing.
