8-Week Intensive Trauma Processing (ITP) Program

---

If you’ve done therapy and understand why you feel the way you do—but your nervous system still seems to react as though the danger is happening right now—ITP may be the next step.

The Intensive Trauma Processing Program (ITP) at Perceptions Therapy is an immersive, 8-week program designed to help adults move beyond survival mode through targeted, brain-based trauma reprocessing, nervous system regulation, and practical skills for lasting change.

ITP may be a good fit if you continue to experience:

• Anxiety, panic, or emotional flooding
• Trauma triggers or flashbacks
• Chronic stress and/or burnout
• Difficulty trusting, relaxing, or sleeping
• A persistent sense of feeling unsafe

This program was created to help your nervous system reset—not just help you cope with the symptoms.

ITP combines individual trauma reprocessing with regulation and skills work in a focused 8-week format.

Each week, you’ll meet individually with a trauma clinician for targeted, brain-based trauma reprocessing using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) or ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy) modalities.

Our trauma clinicians are trained in ART and/or EMDR-trained and working toward EMDR certification.

The program is under the clinical oversight of Sandy Andres, LIMHP, EMDRIA Approved Consultant and Basic Trainer.

You’ll also participate in one weekly group focused on DBT skills and nervous system retraining.

The goal is to help you strengthen your ability to regulate emotions, understand your nervous system responses, and develop practical skills that support the deeper trauma-processing work you are doing individually.

ITP is intentionally different from traditional weekly therapy.

During the 8-week program, we ask that you pause your regular therapy. This allows you to fully engage in the intensive trauma-processing work and gives your nervous system time and space to focus on the treatment process.

After completing the 8 weeks, you will return to your regular therapist to continue your ongoing therapeutic work.

Length: 8 weeks

Each week includes:

• One individual trauma reprocessing session
• One regulation and skills group session

Sessions are available in-office or online when clinically appropriate.

Through intensive trauma processing, regulation work, and nervous system retraining, ITP is designed to support:

• Reduced anxiety and emotional reactivity
• Fewer trauma triggers
• Improved sleep and focus
• A greater sense of safety and calm

You deserve more than just survival. You deserve relief.

Healing from trauma isn’t simply about understanding what happened. Sometimes your nervous system needs an opportunity to process what it has continued to carry.

ITP offers a focused period of trauma reprocessing, regulation, and support designed to help you move forward.

Healing is possible. You don’t have to do it alone.
