Beyond talk therapy
Beyond Talk Therapy
Therapy with Angela Pak Psychology goes deeper into your life story uncovering the patterns and threads that have kept you stuck on repeat.
Experiential Therapy
Talk therapy is valuable for building understanding and consolidating insight, but it works primarily through logic and reasoning, and can stay "in your head" without reaching the deeper layers of your experience. EMDR and other experiential approaches work differently they help resolve what you haven't been able to think your way through.
EMDR Intensives
EMDR Intensives are immersive and fully experiential — an "all-in" approach to therapeutic work.
We move through a structured list of specific moments and issues using EMDR. For those who hold and feel a lot in the body, we draw on Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), a body-based approach developed by psychiatrist Dr Frank Corrigan, to work with the brainstem's primitive responses and release patterns of shock and bracing.
If the work calls for a more compassionate relationship with your emotions or with different parts of Self, we may incorporate Internal Family Systems (IFS) or Resource Therapy, helping create greater internal harmony.
EMDR Intensives offer focused, highly personalised therapy in a condensed timeframe. This is a distinct alternative to traditional weekly 50-minute sessions, group wellness retreats, or inpatient programs.
