What Is an IFS infused EMDR Intensive?

That’s what an EMDR + Internal Family Systems (IFS) Intensive offers: a way to step out of survival mode, dive deep into your healing, and create real, lasting change — all in a few dedicated days.

It’s not rushed. It’s not overwhelming. It’s a focused, compassionate experience that meets you exactly where you are — and helps you move forward, at a pace your heart can actually keep up with.

How it Works

Instead of spreading therapy over months or years, an intensive brings the work together into a few days of focused care.

Each day includes:

6 Hours of Personalized Therapy

‍Not six hours of talking at a wall — six hours of real, thoughtful, paced work. You’ll have time to:

• Reprocess painful memories using EMDR
• Heal wounded parts of yourself through IFS
• Integrate the work into lasting change
  

Space to Reflect and Breathe

• Healing isn’t just what happens in the session.
• Between therapy blocks, you’ll have time to walk, journal, nap, pray, sketch — whatever your mind and body need to settle and absorb the work.
• Rest isn’t extra here. It’s part of the process.
  

Many people find that in just a few days of intensive work, they experience breakthroughs that could take months of traditional therapy to reach.

Why IFS infused EMDR Together?

Because real healing isn’t just about knowing what happened — it’s about changing how it lives inside you.

• EMDR helps you reprocess trauma — it rewires how your brain holds painful memories, so they don’t hijack your present.
  
  
• IFS (Parts Work) helps you understand and bring peace to the different parts inside you — the ones that feel stuck, scared, protective, angry, or hurting.
  
  

You know these feelings:

“Part of me wants to move forward, but part of me just can’t let go.”

“One side of me is brave, and another side keeps slamming on the brakes.”

IFS helps you build a compassionate relationship with all your parts — not by forcing them to change, but by helping them heal. When you weave EMDR and IFS together, you don’t just survive your past. You get your life back — clearer, lighter, and more whole.

The Power of a Healing Environment

Healing doesn’t happen just anywhere. It needs safety. Stillness. Space.

That’s why your intensive takes place at the With Me Retreat Center — a peaceful seven-acre property built for restoration. Picture this:

• You start your morning with a slow walk among grapevines, the cool air waking you up gently.
  
• After a session, you sit by the pond (maybe the great blue heron will visit) and let your mind breathe.
  
• You end the day resting in your own private suite, the stars above, the silence around you.
  
  

Here’s what’s waiting for you:

• Private Suite — No shared walls. No hotel noise. Just quiet space for you to heal.‍
• Nature All Around — Trails, gardens, the pond, and wide-open skies.‍
• Focus, Not Distraction — Everything designed to support your healing — and nothing to pull you away from it.

This isn’t just therapy. It’s a retreat for your whole being.

• Relief from the emotional intensity of trauma
• Clarity about your story — and how it shaped you
• Deeper connection to the parts of yourself you used to fight against
• Newfound strength and resilience
• A renewed sense of hope for your life ahead
