What is an “intensive?”

Intensive therapy consolidates months of therapy into a weekend’s worth of work. There’s no right or wrong when it comes to the length and frequency of therapy sessions. We make this decision by determining what our nervous systems prefer.

Sometimes we want the large chunks of time to really gain momentum and keep that momentum up. Other times we want slower, trickled support week by week. Not sure which one’s right for you? Click here to book your free consultation call.


Why would I choose one?

If you constantly get to the end of your therapy sessions feeling like you had to cut yourself off right as you were starting to open up, a therapy intensive is for you. Intensives minimize the disruption that can happen for folks in traditional 50-minute therapy sessions.

Some people find that they learn and process better in focused bursts of activity rather than spread-out sessions. If that’s you, an intensive might suit your learning and processing style better. And it doesn’t have to be one over the other! You can start with intensives and then switch to regular therapy or vice versa.

This isn’t your weekly therapy session, it’s an in-depth dive into the missing links of your chronic illness journey.

Is a chronic pain therapy intensive for me?

Despite what you think, you’re not a burden. Let’s get your mind and body on board with that notion. Intensives are best suited for the highly self-aware person who has benefited from previous therapy and other physical treatments (like physical therapy) but wants to experience more relief.

If you’ve been feeling…

  • hopeless and frustrated by all the medical treatments you’ve tried that still leave you with little to no relief

  • difficulty managing your emotions because your pain clouds your brain

  • like your relationships are suffering because no one understands what you’re going through

  • like you can’t be the person you used to be and want to be again

  • stuck in a cycle of pain and negative coping mechanisms

Then it’s time to stop suffering alone and start finding your way again.

Unlike other chronic pain programs, this one won’t tell you “it’s all in your head,” “you’re doing it wrong,” “just focus on the positive,” or “you need to push through it.” These are the messages that lead to exacerbated pain and a damaging cycle of pushing through only to crash and burn.

*An intensive therapy weekend is not suitable for those who are actively suicidal, homicidal, or in acute crisis. For fast and immediate crisis help, please call or text the national suicide hotline at 988.
