Therapy intensives aren’t only for people who’ve survived trauma or for people in crisis—they are for anyone who wants to grow with intention, for anyone craving clarity. Really for anyone who knows there’s more for out there for themselves, knows the regular session format may not be the best fit for them, but doesn’t quite know what options that leaves them with. You don’t need a traumatic past to deserve focused, accelerated support. You just need to be a person, navigating a life that occasionally (or often) feels like a lot.

Maybe you're tired of the anxiety, the relationship tension, the not-quite-sure-what’s-wrong-but-it-still-hurts feeling. Tired of lying in bed at night, replaying things you wish you could forget. Or maybe you just keep wondering why everything feels like too much all the time. Trauma isn’t always about what happened. Sometimes it’s about how what still lives in you. And healing doesn’t have to mean dragging yourself across town, putting on real pants, or sitting in a waiting room trying not to cry. That’s the beauty of online trauma therapy—you can start healing exactly where you are. Literally.

If you’ve ever heard the phrase “therapy intensive” and immediately pictured something like a boot camp for your emotions, you’re not alone. It’s not what we’re used to and can sound a little… intense, pun intended. The truth is, therapy intensives are often misunderstood simply because they’re unfamiliar. And when something’s unfamiliar, myths take hold. Let’s clear those up.

When most people think of summer, they picture sunshine, BBQs, and carefree evenings. But what if, instead of feeling carefree, you’re feeling… off? Maybe you’re more anxious, no motivation, or just pressured to be happy when you’re just not. If that’s you—you are not alone. Not everyone feels their best in summer. For folks navigating chronic stress, autism or ADHD, or recovering from dysfunctional relationships or other traumas, sometimes the sunshine just isn’t enough. Here are some ways you can stay grounded and connected to yourself when the season is harder than expected.
