Looking for therapy to help you get unstuck or go deeper? It might be time to try an intensive.

At , we offer options outside of the standard 50-minute weekly or bi-weekly session, including a 3-4 day therapy intensives.

🌿What is a therapy intensive? 🌿

A therapy intensive is a concentrated healing experience, typically spanning multiple days (in our case 3-4 days) that allows you to engage in extended therapy sessions and multiple sessions in a day without the interruptions of daily life.

Rather than 50-minute sessions spread out over years, intensives provide several hours of therapy each day in a safe, supportive environment.

🌿 Tending to joy takes presence and patience. 🌿

Amidst rush of life and culture's constant demand on our attention, don’t forget to slow down and nurture the moments that bring you joy. It's in these moments that we regain the clarity and capacity needed to care for ourselves and others. 💛

If this is hard for you to do - that's ok. Noticing joy can feel challenging when your system has been designed to protect above all else.

🌿 Somatic therapy is about creating the right conditions for our nervous systems to heal and reconnecting ourselves on a cellular level to a felt sense of well-being.

🌿 Spiritual healing invites us to connect with meaning and purpose, and move beyond survival into expansion, peace, trust, creativity, and aliveness.

We integrate these concepts with IFS and EMDR and use them as a wise guide to help people move toward healing that is felt, embodied, and transformational - not just intellectual.

Burnout: Emotional and physical exhaustion, decreased motivation, and a sense of detachment from work. 💥

Over time, relentless demand for productivity can push our nervous system beyond its limits chronically, leading to burnout. The constant pressure to perform without adequate rest or boundaries can deplete mental and physical resources, leading to chronic fatigue and a decline in overall well-being.

Signs of burnout:
-Chronic fatigue or lack of energy
-Insomnia or disrupted sleep patterns
-Frequent headaches or muscle tension
-Feelings of hopelessness or helplessness
-Increased cynicism or negativity
-Detachment or isolation from others
-Decreased satisfaction and sense of accomplishment
-Reduced performance or productivity
-Increased absenteeism or tardiness
-Withdrawal from social or work-related activities

It doesn't have to feel like this forever.

Healing from burnout typically involves a combination of self-exploration, self-care, boundary-setting, and oftentimes professional support. If you want to work with a therapist who will help you prioritize you, get in touch with us here: https://ifsemdrtherapy.com/contact-us🌺

One sign healing is happening is when you move toward reclaiming the parts of your system that went quiet to survive.

The ones that hid, adapted, or shut down — start to have a voice. Recovery is not just about surviving, but about gently and safely welcoming those parts back into the light, back into relationship with you.

With the right resources and support, you can create a life where your parts feel loved, seen, and safe. ✨

Today is Independence Day in the USA 🎇

is meant as a day to honor the freedoms we have and acknowledge the ones still out of reach for many.

It may feel like a challenging time for some to celebrate Independence Day and freedom when so many continue to experience fear, oppression, and inequity.

We’re holding space today for reflection, grief, resistance, and collective healing. May we continue to imagine and build a world where freedom is a lived experience for all.

Understanding the different kinds of trauma is essential for recognizing and validating the experiences of individuals who have been impacted. 🌿

As comes to an end, let's revisit the 7 types of trauma:

-Acute (single event)
-Chronic (long-term stress)
-Developmental (in childhood)
-Complex (multiple relational traumas)
-Vicarious (witnessing others)
-Secondary (through loved ones)
-Collective (affecting entire groups/communities)

Trauma comes in many forms, each with its own unique impact on individuals and communities. By understanding the seven kinds of trauma and their psychological consequences, we can better support those affected and foster environments of healing and resilience. 🌼

🌸 The Self in Internal Family Systems (IFS) has been defined by the “8 C's” and “5 P's." 🌸

There are different ways to think about Self energy. At IFS EMDR Therapy Group, we align with the founder of IFS in the belief that we are all born with Self energy.

We also prioritize the belief that there are “no bad parts,” as stated by Richard Schwartz, which means we respect every part and aim to harness the wisdom of every part within our system. This is our pathway to Self energy. ☀️

Juneteenth is a celebration of the liberation of Black Americans from slavery and a time to honor Black American culture.

And in current times, today is a reminder that true liberation has always been fought for, not simply given.

When hard-won rights are under threat and conversations about race, history, and mental health are being silenced, the need for community, rest, and liberation is more urgent than ever.

At our practice, we are committed to cultural and racial humility, and supporting and celebrating Black Americans. 🖤
