Worried you won’t know how to fill 15 hours in an EMDR intensive? You’re not alone — I hear this fear all the time from therapists just getting started with intensives.
In this episode, I’m walking you through exactly how I structure my intensives so the time feels spacious, focused, and even energizing — not overwhelming. I’m sharing what’s worked (and what hasn’t), how my client workbook helps folks come in ready to go, and why your first intensive doesn’t have to be perfect to be powerful.
If you’ve ever worried about clients getting bored, not knowing what to do next, or just sitting there watching the clock… this one’s for you.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why the 15-hour intensive model isn’t just doable—it’s liberating
- The most common fear therapists have (and why your clients are not going to be bored)
- How I structure the time across the 3 days for maximum impact and flow
- The key tools and protocols I use to create a clear, client-centered roadmap
🎧 Tune in and let’s talk about what it really looks like to create a transformative experience, without burning yourself out in the process.

“It's energizing because you can get so deeply into the work, like that flow state. You see incredible results and that's really energizing for me and real protective of advanced burnout. It's liberating because you're not carrying this massive caseload anymore." - Carolyn
