EMDR Group Intensives

EMDR Group Intensives allow for accelerated healing at a very affordable rate. It is perfect for those who struggle to have the time or the funds to commit to weekly one:one sessions. 

​

EMDR group format has slight differences than the original individual protocol. EMDR Group IS NOT like standard Support Groups or Group Therapy. In EMDR Groups, you have virtually no conversation around the participants trauma.  You are reprocessing in a group without having to share the details of your experience nor hear the details of other's experiences. People are not sitting in a circle, but instead all eyes are facing forward like a classroom environment. Most people keep their eyes closed during the entire experience.  It is powerful and effective.

 

The group format was introduced by Dr. "Nacho" Ignacio Jarero when responding to natural disasters like earthquakes, tsunamis, and other catastrophic and traumatic events. It has effectively reduced PTSD and proactively helped avoid a full PTSD diagnosis with school aged children and adults.

EMDR Intensives require an Initial Consult to determine if a Group Intensive is suitable. If it is determined that Group Therapy is not suitable for you, you will be invited to participate in Adriana's Support Group specific to your situation, individual therapy, or her educational membership until you are ready to participate in an EMDR Intensive.
