How EMDR Intensives Help You Heal From a Breakup
Breakup Therapy with an EMDR Therapist in Long Beach, CA
Breakups can feel like more than just the end of a relationship—they often resurface old wounds, stir up anxiety, and leave you questioning your worth, your choices, and your future. If you're stuck in the pain of heartbreak or keep finding yourself triggered long after the relationship ended, you're not alone—and you don’t have to stay stuck.
As an EMDR therapist in Long Beach, I offer EMDR therapy intensives specifically designed to help you process the emotional aftermath of a breakup so you can move forward with clarity, confidence, and peace.
Why EMDR for Breakup Recovery?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a trauma-informed therapy that helps you process painful memories and stuck emotions stored in your nervous system. It doesn’t just treat the symptoms—it gets to the root. EMDR is especially effective for:
Past relationship trauma
Abandonment wounds
Betrayal and trust issues
Codependency and anxious attachment
Replaying painful memories or conversations
When we go through a breakup, especially if it was unhealthy, confusing, or unexpected, it can reopen unresolved attachment wounds—especially those from childhood or earlier relationships. EMDR, combined with an attachment-based approach, helps heal those wounds at the source.
The Power of EMDR Therapy Intensives
A traditional 50-minute therapy session often isn’t long enough to dive into deeper healing. That’s where EMDR intensives come in.
With a 90-minute or 3-hour intensive, you get uninterrupted space to:
Fully process a painful memory, trigger, or recurring thought
Work through grief, anger, or fear without being rushed
Explore the deeper attachment patterns that shaped your relationship choices
Rewire limiting beliefs like “I’m not good enough,” “I’ll always be alone,” or “It was all my fault”
Whether you’re healing from a toxic relationship, struggling with obsessive thoughts about your ex, or finding it hard to trust yourself again, a breakup therapy intensive can fast-track your healing.
Benefits of EMDR Intensives for Breakup Therapy
✔ Faster Relief – Instead of spending months feeling emotionally flooded, an intensive helps you make meaningful progress in just a few sessions.
✔ More Space to Feel and Heal – You don’t have to “hold it together” for 50 minutes. There’s time for the tears, the releases, the breakthroughs—and the calm that follows.
✔ Custom-Tailored to You – We’ll focus on your biggest pain points: whether it’s that one conversation you can’t stop replaying, fears about dating again, or the shame that keeps you stuck.
✔ Integrative and Regulating – EMDR doesn’t just reprocess trauma. It helps your nervous system feel safe again, using mindfulness, resourcing, and self-compassion.
