Standard therapy has a rhythm built into it. It's scheduled for an hour, a week or more apart, with the first stretch of each session spent finding the thread again and the last stretch spent putting things away safely. For much of the work I do, that rhythm serves well. For some, it can become an obstacle. Often, a session reaches the material that matters just as the hour ends, and a week of ordinary life sits between that moment and the next one.
An intensive removes the interruption. We work in extended blocks: a half day, a full day, or several days in sequence, structured around a focus we define together in advance. What might unfold across three months of Tuesdays can often move in a single concentrated arc.
