Beyond Healing Center Retreats

I woke up this morning and quickly welled up with tears. I woke up knowing I fit and knowing I belong. So simple but a HUGE shift in how I think about myself.

For the past two years, I’ve been under the guidance of Melissa. She’s been key to my growth and healing process which has continued to lead me to the truest version of myself.

The intensive really was a huge breakthrough for me. Instead of working in a small section of time, I was able to start down a path of hurt and discomfort. The longer session allowed us to visit those wounds, identify root causes and begin the healing process. I left feeling whole and empowered. The longer session is really life changing because of the amount you are able to tackle in one setting.

Since the age of 11 I have undergone therapy and I have never felt as loved as I do at Beyond. Bridger has played a key role in my healing with OCD. The trauma that I experienced as a child has formed me as the person I am today and I wouldn’t be able to accept that if I had never chose therapy.

My negative self beliefs, anxiety, and sadness have had a significant decrease with the help of the people I love. I have had many therapists in the past ranging in age and gender and I can’t say all of them have been great.

My goal has always been to “fix myself” and without the support of Bridger and the Beyond Team, I don’t think I could understand that I don’t need to be fixed.

I have undergone an enormous transformation since starting EMDR. This is without question due to my therapists expertise and the benefit EMDR has for processing trauma.

While doing EMDR in our regular one hour sessions was helpful, the time frame was a limitation to my ability to reach the most vulnerable state of processing. The EMDR Intensive eliminated that entirely allowing me to explore things I didn’t realize were apart of my trauma and process them rapidly with out interruptions.

If someone is considering EMDR therapy as an option I would highly recommend the Intensive sessions. I have experienced amazing progress and growth first hand.

Beyond Healing retreats is a unique opportunity to intentionally take time for inner healing and be cared for by incredible authentic and kind people. I have experienced the process of scheduling a retreat and going through the process and am blown away by how much attention, thought and care was given to all my details. From food allergies to types of support services I was treated with honor and care. Food, transportation and therapy were all taken care of, so all I needed to do what get there, heal and rest. I also experienced profound healing and shift in my journey from my 3 day intensive. It changed my life so deeply that I scheduled a second one a few years later. Everyone deserves to heal and this retreat is a safe and impactful option for anyone open to the journey!
