Accelerated Healing for Trauma, PTSD, and Emotional Recovery
Looking for a faster, more focused way to heal trauma?
Our EMDR Intensive Trauma Retreats offer a safe, structured, and accelerated approach to healing for individuals and families.
Whether you’re recovering from childhood trauma, emotional abuse, grief, or complex PTSD, EMDR intensives can help you process painful memories and reclaim your peace—in days, not years.
What Is an EMDR Trauma Retreat?
An EMDR trauma retreat is a private, short-term therapy experience that condenses months of traditional therapy into just 1–3 days. Using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)—a highly effective, evidence-based therapy—these retreats help you reduce emotional distress and rewire traumatic memory patterns in a safe, supported environment.
Dr. Sue Egan offers both individual EMDR intensives and family trauma retreats, customized to your history, goals, and emotional needs.

What is EMDR therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a scientifically validated therapy that helps people recover from trauma and distressing life experiences by changing how the brain stores painful memories.
How is an EMDR intensive different from regular therapy?
An EMDR intensive condenses months of therapy into just a few days, allowing for deep, uninterrupted healing. It’s ideal for people with limited time or those needing rapid support.
Are virtual EMDR retreats effective?
Yes. Virtual EMDR sessions can be just as effective as in-person therapy when delivered by an experienced clinician like Dr. Sue Egan.
Can families attend together?
Yes. Family trauma retreats support relational healing and help family members process shared or individual trauma in a supportive, integrated way. This may include 2 practitioners allowing work to be done with family members at separate times.
