Intensives for Trauma Healing and Relationship Healing

Intensives (intensive psychotherapy) are customized therapeutic experiences for situations that need resolution and movement. Intensives are for individuals, couples, families, and or siblings that want to move through an impasse. Sometimes this is working through the pain of a betrayal, or the memory of childhood trauma, or solidifying new healthy behaviors in a family system. At times, working with clients weekly is more injurious than helpful, an intensive allows for the healing to take place deeply and over the days that are scheduled. Intensive Psychotherapy appointments usually span a half day to 4 days and are scheduled by appointment. In that amount of time, participants are able to access an emotional depth that helps them move through an event. They are also able to acquire and utilize tools in an emotionally safe environment. Intensive Psychotherapy requires an extensive intake process.

The Healing Collective is a teaching practice and to that end, we include interns and or invite other therapists who are eager to learn this process to participate and enhance our work. These professionals have experience in assisting in intensives, where they can play roles of your family members, currently and historically. This helps with identification and sharing of feelings. They also give helpful feedback and are there to learn, accommodate and provide support. Of course, having interns in the room would require the consent of the individual, couple or family.

Amber has been practicing for over a decade and supporting individuals, family’s, and couples in intensives to gain relief faster. When it comes to a family system, when one is in pain, the whole family is in pain. Most types of illness be it mental health or physical health create a strain not just on the individual but also on the system around the individual. There is change and with change their is grief. Therefore, Amber’s intensives utilize the entire model within one session that is extended. The intention of this approach is multifaceted, but the ultimate outcome is focused on relieving the pain.

Have you realized talk therapy doesn’t work to heal the body?

Are you looking for holistic support for REAL changes?

At The Healing Collective, we believe in addressing the entirety of your well-being during our Therapy Intensives. These intensives are designed to provide a profound and comprehensive healing experience that goes beyond traditional therapy sessions. Bessel van der Kolk’s research is evidence the trauma we experience in our lives are not stored in our mind or memories, but in our body. Therefore, healing the whole body collectively is what creates movement, healing, and integration.

Intensives with The Healing Collective Team, will include slowing down the process and noticing details that you may have not noticed previously. The process of slowing down alone is triggering for some of us, especially if we live in over functioning. You don’t have to do this alone. All activities, interventions, or enactments are modeled first or practiced with you to maintain the level of attunement throughout. Our team at The Healing Collective live in a state of integrity through practicing recovery on a daily basis. Our commitment to our recovery is what allows us to walk alongside you in your journey. A clinician can only take a client as far as they have traveled.

• Body: Recognizing the mind-body connection, our intensives may include practices such as mindfulness, yoga, or guided relaxation techniques. These activities are aimed at reducing stress, enhancing self-awareness, and promoting physical well-being.

• Spirit: Nurture your inner self through guided reflection, exploration of values, and connection to a deeper sense of purpose. Our therapists facilitate discussions that help you align your life with what matters most to you.

Comprehensive Support:

• Nutrition and Wellness: Receive guidance on nutrition and lifestyle choices that support mental and emotional health. We emphasize the importance of a balanced diet, exercise, and self-care practices as integral parts of your healing journey. It is the basis of Maslow’s Hierarchy.

• Environment: Create a supportive environment conducive to healing. We may recommend strategies for optimizing your physical surroundings and relationships to foster positivity and growth but also a necessity for integration. The body heals when it is at rest.
