If you’re a therapist or small business owner, you are your own retirement plan. This post will help you understand why investing is essential—and how to get started building lasting financial security.

As a nurse, a doctor or other healthcare provider, you're trained to respond quickly, stay composed under pressure, and keep going…no matter what. But over time, this constant state of high alert takes a toll on your body, mind, and nervous system. If this sounds familiar, you are not alone.

If you’ve ever been told to “just breathe” or “calm down” when you’re feeling anxious, you know how unhelpful that can be. Anxiety isn’t just in your head—it’s in your body, your nervous system, and sometimes, your past.

That’s where EMDR therapy comes in.

A car accident can shake you to your core. Even if your body walks away with minimal injuries, your nervous system might still be stuck in the moment of impact—reliving the fear, replaying the “what ifs,” and reacting with anxiety long after the event has passed. If you’ve been in a car accident and you’re feeling stuck, anxious, or hyper-alert behind the wheel, you’re not alone.

Feeling stuck often happens when unresolved trauma or stress keeps replaying in the background of life. Weekly therapy can be supportive, but sometimes it only touches the surface. This is where EMDR therapy intensives for growth come in.

Have you ever paused to think about how much time and money you’ve already spent or might spend on traditional therapy? Weekly sessions can be incredibly helpful, but they can also stretch out over months or even years. There is another option: therapy intensives. Therapy intensives are a faster, more focused, and cost-effective way to create lasting change.

For women who feel like they’re holding it all together while quietly carrying the anxiety and overwhelm, traditional therapy can sometimes feel like it moves too slowly. Weekly sessions are valuable, but life doesn’t always allow for months or years of gradual progress. That’s where intensives shine.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated by the slow pace of weekly therapy, especially when working through trauma, anxiety, or overwhelm, you’re not alone. Traditional 50-minute sessions often end just as the REAL work begins. That’s why I offer extended EMDR sessions to help you make meaningful progress more efficiently.

EMDR therapy offers a way to really face what’s weighing you down, without staying stuck in the past. But many people wonder: How will I feel afterward? Lighter, Calmer and More Present.
