Completing an EMDR Intensive is a powerful step toward healing, but your brain will continue processing even after the session is over. Because of this, I offer aftercare support to help you integrate what you’ve experienced and ensure you feel stable, supported, and empowered moving forward. Here’s what you can expect in terms of aftercare:

​

Post-Intensive Check-In

​

I offer a follow-up check-in (via phone, email, or a short session) to see how you're feeling in the days after your intensive. This allows us to:

• Review any emotional shifts you’ve noticed

• Address any lingering thoughts, dreams, or insights

• Provide reassurance if unexpected emotions arise

 

Personalized Self-Care Recommendations

 

Healing doesn’t stop when the session ends—your brain keeps working in the background. I will provide personalized self-care strategies to help support your ongoing healing, such as:

• Journaling prompts to help process any lingering emotions

• Mindfulness and grounding exercises to stay present and centered

• Gentle movement practices (such as walking, yoga, or deep breathing) to help release any residual tension

 

Optional Additional Integration Sessions

 

Some clients feel completely at peace after their intensive, while others may want a follow-up session to discuss insights or work through any remaining emotions. You can schedule:

• A brief follow-up session to reinforce your progress

• Continued therapy sessions if you’d like ongoing support

• Periodic check-ins to ensure you maintain the benefits of your intensive

 

Support Resources & Tools

 

You’ll receive access to resources tailored to your healing journey, which may include:

• Recommended books, podcasts, or articles to deepen your understanding of EMDR and trauma recovery

• EMDR worksheets or reflection exercises to track progress

• Guided meditations or calming audio resources

 

Encouragement to Go at Your Own Pace

 

Your healing is unique to you. Some people feel immediate relief after an intensive, while others notice shifts unfolding over time. I encourage you to:

• Be patient with yourself—your brain is still processing

• Pay attention to positive changes in your emotions, thoughts, or behaviors

• Reach out if you need additional support

 

Open Communication & Continued Guidance

 

If anything comes up after your intensive, I encourage you to reach out. You’re not alone in this journey, and I’m here to support you in whatever way feels best. Whether it’s a quick check-in or scheduling another session, you have options.

 

You’re Supported Every Step of the Way

 

An EMDR Intensive is just the beginning of lasting transformation. I’m here to help you navigate the days and weeks that follow so you feel grounded, empowered, and ready to move forward with clarity and peace.

If you have any questions about what to expect after your intensive—or if you’d like to schedule a follow-up—I’m here for you.
