About Us

Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG) intensives are specialized programs designed to help individuals navigate and thrive in the aftermath of trauma. Unlike traditional therapy, which often focuses on symptom reduction and coping strategies, PTG intensives emphasize personal growth, resilience, and transformation following traumatic experiences. We incorporate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Brainspotting, and Internal Family Systems (IFS)/EGO state informed parts work can offer a powerful and integrative approach to healing and transformation following trauma. Each of these modalities can contribute to the PTG process within an intensive program

Key features of PTG intensives may include:

1. Focused Exploration: PTG intensives provide a structured and concentrated environment for individuals to explore the impact of trauma on their lives and identify opportunities for growth. Participants engage in deep reflection, introspection, and processing of their experiences under the guidance of a trained practitioner. 

2. Strength Based Approach: PTG intensives focus on harnessing individuals' strengths, resources, and resilience to facilitate growth and healing. Participants are encouraged to recognize and build upon their innate abilities, coping mechanisms, and support networks as they navigate their journey toward post-traumatic growth.

3. Evidence-Based Techniques: PTG intensives draw upon evidence-based practices from positive psychology, trauma therapy, mindfulness, and other modalities to promote growth-oriented outcomes. Participants may engage in activities such as narrative therapy, mindfulness exercises, expressive arts, journaling, and group discussions to facilitate healing and transformation.

4. Integration and ongoing services: PTG intensives emphasize the importance of ongoing integration and application of growth-oriented strategies beyond the intensive program. Participants are provided with tools, resources, and support systems to continue their journey toward post-traumatic growth in their daily lives, empowering them to sustain positive changes over the long term.

Overall, Post-Traumatic Growth intensives offer a comprehensive and structured approach to supporting individuals in transforming their traumatic experiences into opportunities for personal/professional and spiritual growth, resilience, and meaning-making. By providing a supportive and empowering environment for healing and exploration, PTG intensives can help individuals not only survive but thrive in the aftermath of trauma.
