The final part of the year is jam-packed with holidays, including Thanksgiving, Diwali, Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, and the New Year. That means this time of year is full of making plans and being busy. However, for many, the holidays bring in depressed mood, increased stress, old patterns, overwhelm, or maybe just some memories that bring grief or triggers.

Give yourself the gift of a full nervous system reset this year, allowing for peace, restoration, and leaving old pain behind, so you can fully immerse yourself in the holiday spirit.

What is a holiday intensive?

It’s not much different than the trauma intensives we already offer. However, they’re more focused on what you experience within the Fall and Winter months and the holidays. Because they’re a bit more targeted, they tend to be more economical and can be completed within a 2-week time span. Our primary focus will be on whether there were any traumatic events that happened during this time of year, grief of losing a loved one, and it being hard to move through the holidays, managing boundaries, or releasing old patterns. These intensives offer a mixture of somatic interventions that get you tuned into your body, and allow for the brain to “let go” of all of the old stuff that has been hanging around. One of those somatic interventions is Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), which you can read more about here. ART utilizes bilateral stimulation, which is considered one of the most effective ways to target old reactions that live in our body, erase them, and program in healthier thoughts and behaviors. Holiday intensives are a great way to allow yourself to possibly feel safe enough to lean into the spirit of the holidays and let you find the ways that you truly want to celebrate.

What is the process of a Holiday Intensive?

  1. Reach out to schedule your Holiday Intensive. We will book a 30-minute consultation so that we can collect all the pertinent information, answer questions, create a plan, and set goals for your intensive.

  2. You’ll receive an intake packet from us, as well as directions on how to find us in person or how to log onto your virtual appointment.

  3. You’ll be scheduled for 4-6 sessions within a two-week time frame; sessions run anywhere from 60-90 minutes. We do try and offer more flexible timeslots for intensives.

  4. As each session ends, we will process the progress made and the goals for next sessions and if there is any homework in between.

  5. Enjoy your holidays!

I have some questions about Holiday Intensives

The primary focus of these appointments does not have to be centered around trauma; they can target anxiety, anger, depression, grief, or more. This also shouldn’t be considered a replacement for the deep work that trauma therapy can entail. This can help bring relief, but there can’t be any promises that you’ll have done all the work that trauma therapy sometimes asks us to do.

How long do Holiday Intensives take?

The goal is to get you “through it” within 2 weeks. Each session ranges from 60-90 minutes.

We are always going to have a preference for doing intense work like this in person. However, we do have ways of offering this virtually. Feel free to reach out to see how Holiday Intensives are done virtually.

Is this done in person or virtually?
