7/5/2022 0 Comments EMDR IntensivesIntroducing EMDR Intensives with Jessica Wilkerson, LMFT What are the various options for EMDR? Many EMDR sessions are provided during a typical 50 minute therapy session. When we schedule to engage EMDR during a client's usual appointment time, we hit the ground running and we get a lot of healing done during that hour. When EMDR was created, it was implemented in 90 minute sessions. I still believe this is the most effective form, but in today's fast paced world it can be difficult for clients to carve out the extra time during their work day. EMDR Intensives are multiple EMDR sessions within the period of one or more days. These are specialty sessions that are full days of healing the traumatic experiences of a person's distant or more current past. What is the benefit of an EMDR Intensive vs EMDR in a weekly session?
Structure of an EMDR Intensive:
Fees: EMDR Intensives are not covered by insurance. Comparably, the overall cost of weekly sessions versus the upfront cost of an intensive is approximately equivalent or the intensive may save a client money. This is relative to many factors regarding each client's trauma history, existing internal resources and support systems, and therapy history. The hourly fee is $250, and the clock stops when you leave for meals and self-care. The average intensive is six hours per day and the number of days is dependant upon multiple factors which are discovered during your assessment. EMDR ACUMEN: I was trained in the standard model of EMDR in 2014 through an EMDRIA approved trainer. In 2022, I attended an advanced training by Roy Kiessling in Interpersonal EMDR and then invited him and his team to come to Chico to train my staff in his model. To reinforce my understanding of the tenets of this model I attended the basic training again with my staff. This means That in 2014 I received my original training, attended advanced training in RTEP/GTEP, advanced training in Interpersonal EMDR, and then attended another basic training in the updated modality. Basic Trainings are two weekends of three full days each weekends and each are EMDRIA approved. EMDRIA: The creator of EMDR, Francine Shapiro, also created the organization that makes sure everyone is doing EMDR the same and according to her protocol. The organization is called EMDRInternational Association, and it's based in Canada. There are many trainings to teach people how to do EMDR, but unless it's approved by Francine's organization it's not considered to be the highest and most respected EMDR training. When a therapist is referring their client to an EMDR trained clinician, they always check to make sure the clinician they're sending their client to was trained by an EMDRIA approved trainer. Every single training I have received has been under the umbrella of EMDRIA's approval. Here's more info about EMDRIA and EMDR in general: EMDR.org

MISSION: To provide a tranquil and healing space in which people in our community can find calmness internally through the relaxing atmosphere along with respectful and engaging therapy conversations. To contribute to happier and more secure families by helping individuals, couples, and teens heal within and thereby creating different ways of engaging with themselves, the world, and those they love.
VISION: Creating a new kind of therapy experience in the Chico area in which therapists have smaller caseloads, giving them the flexibility to spend more time with clients as needed - longer sessions, phone calls, client centered advocacy. Creating a space in our community where clients can go between sessions just to sit, linger, and re-center themselves when they're having difficult days. A place to belong while they heal their hearts and relationships. A therapy office that embodies the unconditional love of Christ no matter what a person's gender identity, romantic disposition, or previous life hardships, experiences, or actions might have been. To be a safe place.
