Discover Healing Powers Of A Therapy Retreat
WHAT IS A THERAPY RETREAT?
In a THERAPY RETREAT, the healing time is maximized. The ONLY client the therapist has for the entire day, is YOU. Each THERAPY RETREAT is up to 8 hours of highly focused individual counseling with a 1-hour lunch break.
The amount of days you need depends on the severity of your issue, your emotional stability, and your ability to process. The extended therapy time allows emotional healing to occur much more rapidly throughout the day, rather than weeks, months, or years.
WHY NOT JUST STICK TO TRADITIONAL 60 MINUTE SESSIONS?
Traditional 60-minute therapy is always helpful, but it can sometimes cause emotional wounds from your past to remain activated in between sessions.
Untreated emotional wounds create feelings of anxiety, depression, second guessing yourself, feeling angry or resentful, loneliness, low motivation, and constantly feeling as if you are being judged by others.
A Therapy Retreat allows us to address multiple problems over a large block of time without life’s daily interruptions.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM A THERAPY RETREAT
Think of a Therapy Retreat as a type of “emotional surgery". We go in and clean up all the hurt which led you to feel and believe things about yourself that have never been true. These types of hurts (we call them emotional wounds) often lead to self-sabotaging behaviors and living a life that may seem great to others on the outside, but on the inside, you feel like a hot freaking mess and think "if only they knew just how damaged I really am”.
Each of our therapist have undergone extensive trainings and will be utilizing multiple therapeutic techniques throughout the course of the day. Your therapist will create a custom-tailored treatment plan designed exclusively for your presenting symptoms and personal goals.
Having experienced rapid emotional healing, you will leave transformed and renewed. You will uncover how emotional wounds have impacted your behaviors and choices in life, and as you heal, you will discover how to love and embrace your true, authentic self.
