Intensive Therapy Retreats

(1 review)

For many years I had felt lost, a wanderer in the fog, caught in a limbo state, a marionette in…read morethis game of life. After many phone calls to clinics and hours of manic research, I found Intensive Therapy Retreats, filled out an online form and waited for my phone call to see if they would be a right fit for me. In a day or so, I received a phone call from Shannon and in all honesty I had to go through my notes to see which clinic was calling I had put out so many inquiries. After about an hour or so chat with Shannon, she had recommended Dr. Afua Forson for me and set up a phone call for me a few days later to see if the doctor would be a good fit for me. Afua and I spoke for a little over an hour on the phone and felt we would work best for each other. We confirmed dates of my retreat that was originally going to last for 4 days in Beacon, NY. With my affairs in order and securing the funding, as at the moment this is an out-of-pocket expense, I could not wait to head out east and upstate. As a pre-retreat ritual for myself, I timed it to see one of my best friends down in the city for dinner and some much needed girl time before I would head up early the next morning for a drive upstate. The timing of my retreat could not have been more perfect to be where I was. The end of summer in the Hudson Valley is a magical time to be there. My first session was due to start at 10 am and I rolled into town around 8 am to find the building, explore Main St. (I was a daily supporter of Beacon Bread Company and their Golden Milk Latte w/ OatMilk & their banana & pumpkin breads), and went down to the river to meditate. From the moment I met Afua as I reached the top landing of the stairs, the life I thought I knew was about to change forever. She showed me into my private room that was equipped with a love seat, two sitting chairs, a desk, restroom and a balcony (in my picture I posted of the house) over looking the parking lot and faced towards the river. The practice of EDMR will be an individual journey for each person. Afua and I connected in these exercises in a way I had never thought possible. With both of us coming from indigenous backgrounds, our beliefs in science and a deeper respect for the life forces around us, I for what felt like the first time in this life had been seen and understood. Though I had been scheduled for 4 days of my retreat, we came to a meeting point where I would be in a good place by the end of my third day. This therapy is not for everyone, it will not work for everyone, but it did work for me and I will advocate and patronize this company as well as Afua. This is not like weekly therapy, you have to be ready to face whatever "demons" may be tormenting you. For my work, we worked on healing specific points of my trauma. There were a handful of parts of me that had been damaged in my life. The "man-child," my sixteen year old self, was my biggest wound I had. It was a wound that never healed until this past weekend. It was a poison I carried for over twenty years and affected many aspects of my life. If you are a someone who may be wandering in the clouds like I was just a week ago, I offer prayers that this may be the place you find true healing and grounding. The feeling that I am feeling today, I never before thought it was a possibility. For lack of a better description, I have HOPE and I write it in all caps because its broad in its meaning for myself. My gratitude and my aloha towards Afua cannot be fully put into words. To me, she was the high priestess I had long been searching for. No other tonics or remedies I had used all these years could extract that dark poison I had mentioned earlier. Now per the doctors orders, time to take a period to convalesce. *My side notes on Beacon, NY* -Check if Maloufʻs Mountain House is available for your stay, highly recommend it for its specific location and the proximity to the retreat. -All the food is amazing on Main Street but Beacon Bread Company holds a special place for me, try their Beacon Burger, get the fries extra crispy and add a fried egg on it, me not thinking to add it was the only complaint I had. -If youʻre a Doctor Who fan, go check out The Pandorica, I am hoping her alligator will be available my next trip, but her fish and chips washed down with her recommendation of the Czech beer, Budweiser Budvar, was a perfect way to end my day on Friday. -Check out Notions & Potions if they are open, if able, pay it forward and add to their crystals for those in need. Use cash if able, read the flyer on her window on why, those though who know know and those you donʻt think they do. But the shoppe itself attracts those it is intended for. Take from this what you will.

Working with my life coach has been truly transformative. From the very beginning, I felt heard…read moresupported and understood in a way that made it easy to be open and honest. Harrison's guidance helped me gain clarity confidence, and a much deeper understanding of myself and my goals. What sets him apart is his ability to listen without judgment, while offering thoughtful practical insights that actually lead to real change. I walked away from each session, feeling empowered, motivated, and grounded.-with tools I could apply to myself. If you are looking for a life coach who is compassionate, insightful, and genuinely invested in your growth, I cannot recommend Harrison highly enough. This experience has been invaluable and I'm so grateful for the positive impact it's had all my life!

Working with Harrison completely changed the way I understand relationships…read more What stood out most was his Parts Method -- it gave me a fresh, practical way to see relationship dynamics without blame or confusion. Instead of labeling things as "good" or "bad," I learned how different parts of myself show up in relationships and why certain patterns kept repeating. I also purchased the course Harrison created, and it was extremely helpful. The material was clear, structured, and actionable -- not just theory. His very precise protocols helped me analyze previous relationships in a calm, objective way, which brought a lot of clarity and closure. Right now, I'm intentionally in between relationships, focusing on raising my self-esteem and nurturing myself so I can attract a healthier, more aligned partner. Using Harrison's frameworks helped me see that this phase isn't a setback -- it's actually a powerful foundation. I genuinely believe the insights I gained could be the catalyst for attracting a better partner and building a connection I can stay grounded and connected in long-term. If you want a deeper, more honest understanding of relationships -- starting with yourself -- I highly recommend working with Harrison.
