Intensive Psychotherapy
A Hypnosis-Informed Depth Format
Some people experience their inner world vividly — through emotion, imagery, sensation, or subtle internal shifts. They notice what moves inside them, and they want a form of psychotherapy that works at that level.
Intensive Psychotherapy at Aequora is designed for this kind of inner experience.
This is not a shortcut to therapy. It is a different frame — one that works more directly with how the nervous system organizes, stores, and updates experience.
Who This Work Is For
This format is a good fit if you:
- Can stay present with emotional or somatic experience
- Have a specific pattern you want to shift
- Are open to experiential, imagery-based, or subconscious-level work
This work is not designed for acute crisis, severe instability, or situations where basic emotional safety is not yet established.
How This Work Is Different
Rather than meeting weekly with no defined arc, Intensive Psychotherapy is offered as a focused episode of care. The work is organized around one central goal — such as a recurring emotional loop, relational pattern, trauma imprint, or internal block — and approached with intention and structure rather than open-ended processing.
Sessions may include:
- Nervous-system preparation and stabilization
- Focused attention and imagery
- Hypnosis-informed techniques
- Somatic tracking
- Integration and consolidation
The aim is not catharsis, but reorganization — helping the system experience something new, safe, and lasting.
Hypnosis-Informed Work
When hypnosis is used in this format, it is:
- Collaborative
- Consent-based
- Gentle and internally guided
You remain aware, able to speak, and in control throughout. Hypnosis here is not performance or suggestion — it is a way of working with attention, imagery, and the subconscious mind to access deeper layers of learning and change.
How You Begin
All Intensive Psychotherapy starts with a 90-minute Intensive Assessment Session.
This session is used to:
- Understand your pattern and goals
- Assess nervous-system readiness
- Determine whether depth work is appropriate
- Decide together whether a 4- or 6-session series is the best fit
Not every person or concern is suited to this format, and part of ethical care is making sure the structure fits your needs.
A Thoughtful Way Forward
Depth work can be powerful when the timing, readiness, and therapeutic frame align. If this kind of work feels aligned, the next step is simply to begin a conversation.
