You’re Not Imagining It—Weekly Therapy Sometimes Isn’t Enough

Many of our clients have already done meaningful therapy work. They’ve uncovered patterns, learned skills, and developed insight. But even with all of that progress, something still feels stuck.

Just as you begin to go deep, the session ends. Life takes over, and by the next week, you’re back to managing rather than healing.

If this sounds familiar, a trauma therapy intensive might be the next step.

What is a Trauma Therapy Intensive?

A Trauma Therapy Intensive is an extended session that spans several hours in a single day—or over a weekend. Unlike traditional therapy, which may feel fragmented, intensives provide sustained time to stay with what’s emerging.

In an intensive, clients spend several hours—or even multiple days—in therapy, allowing them to go deeper without being interrupted just as they’re getting to the heart of something important. This continuous support creates a powerful container for healing that simply isn’t possible in a 50-minute session.

You won’t be rushed. You won’t have to “wrap up” when things start to get real.

Instead, you’ll have the space to access, process, and integrate difficult experiences with full support.

Modalities We Use in Trauma Therapy Intensives

At The Catalyst Center, we personalize each intensive using evidence-based trauma therapies, including:

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Brainspotting
Somatic and mindfulness-based approaches
Psychoeducation to help you make meaning from your experience

These methods allow us to go beyond symptom management and address the root causes of trauma with care and compassion.

Who Might Benefit from a Trauma Therapy Intensive?

You might be a good fit for this kind of work if:

You’re navigating unresolved trauma or complex PTSD
Weekly sessions leave you feeling stuck or incomplete
You’re facing a major life transition, grief, or losa
You’re looking for faster, deeper progress than traditional therapy allows

Whether you’re new to therapy or looking for a breakthrough after years of work, a trauma therapy intensive offers a reset point—and a way forward.

Why It Works

Traditional therapy often opens emotional doors that must be quickly closed to fit within a 50-minute window. This can leave clients feeling raw, interrupted, or frustrated.

A trauma therapy intensive provides the space to:

Fully engage with what’s coming up
Stay with emotions instead of shutting them down
Process deeply without being rushed
Leave feeling clearer, lighter, and more grounded

It’s a powerful way to shift long-held patterns and begin true healing.
