Experience Transformation: An Intensive PTSD Program
Our Intensive Program is a transformative journey designed to provide focused and accelerated support for individuals. Combining evidence-based therapies, expert guidance, and a supportive environment, this program offers a comprehensive and immersive experience tailored to address the specific needs of participants.
Key Elements of the Program:
1. Intensive Therapy: Throughout the program, participants engage in intensive individual therapy sessions with experienced trauma therapists who specialize in stress and trauma treatment. These one-on-one sessions provide a safe space to explore and process traumatic experiences, address underlying beliefs and emotions, and develop effective coping strategies.
2. Group Therapy: Participants benefit from the power of group dynamics by participating in structured group therapy sessions. These sessions foster a sense of community, empathy, and shared support among participants who have similar experiences. Group therapy provides opportunities for validation, connection, and learning from others' perspectives, enhancing the healing process.
3. Evidence-Based Approaches: The program utilizes evidence-based therapies proven effective in treating PTSD, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Prolonged Exposure Therapy, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). These approaches aim to address intrusive thoughts, manage distressing emotions, modify unhelpful patterns of thinking, and promote adaptive coping strategies.
4. Psychoeducation and Skills Training: Participants receive comprehensive psychoeducation on the nature of stress and trauma, its impact on daily life, and effective coping mechanisms. They acquire practical skills and strategies to manage symptoms, regulate emotions, improve sleep, and enhance overall well-being. Psychoeducation empowers participants with knowledge and tools to take an active role in their recovery.
5. Holistic Therapies: Complementing traditional therapies, holistic approaches are integrated into the program to promote overall wellness and resilience. These may include mindfulness practices, relaxation techniques, expressive therapies (such as art or music therapy), yoga, and physical exercise. Holistic therapies help participants reconnect with their bodies, reduce stress, and promote self-care.
6. Aftercare Planning: Towards the end of the program, participants work collaboratively with the treatment team to develop a comprehensive aftercare plan. This includes identifying local resources, establishing ongoing therapy options, and outlining strategies for maintaining progress and support upon program completion.
The 10-Day Intensive Program provides a concentrated and focused approach to address symptoms and support individuals on their journey towards healing and recovery. With a compassionate and experienced team of professionals, a supportive community, and evidence-based interventions, participants can expect a transformative experience that lays the foundation for a brighter future.

Follow-up Clients
The Intensive Program is designed for clients who have previously attended a Long Program, or are seeking a more intensive treatment program. Follow-up care maximizes clinical efficacy and long-term rehabilitation.
The Intensive Program goals are to review the skills learned in the Long program and further integrate and develop them with each client, adding some more advanced training on an individual basis based on the individual’s readiness. The Intensive Program is carefully planned with the group composition and past group experiences in mind to plan an individualized program for all clients. Follow-up participants are encouraged to attend within 3-6 months after the Long Program and there are separate programs for Men's Programs and Women's Programs.
