Does this sound like you?
You’re successful on the outside—driven, high-achieving, always showing up for others. But inside, it’s a different story.
Maybe…
-
You feel like you have to be perfect all the time… but under the surface, there’s anxiety, overwhelm, and self-doubt that just won’t quit.
-
The smallest things set you off, and you know they shouldn’t. But the frustration, mood swings, or anxiety still come… and then comes the guilt.
-
Old experiences keep showing up in the present—you’ve stuffed them down, tried to move on… but they’re still affecting how you feel, how you react, and how you show up.
-
You’re incredibly attuned to everyone else’s needs… but when it comes to your own, they either feel like “too much” or “not valid.”
-
Maybe you’re in therapy now, but it feels like treading water. You leave drained or raw, and it takes a day or two just to feel okay again. OR you feel like you have plateaued in your progress.
You’ve done your best to “suck it up and move on.”
You’ve powered through for years. Built a life that looks good on paper. But if you're being honest, something still doesn’t feel right.
You’re done just coping. You’re ready for real healing.
What if real healing didn’t have to take years?
What if, in just a few days, you could actually feel lighter?
Imagine walking away from a private retreat feeling…
-
Like the constant mental noise finally quieted down—so you can focus, breathe, and be present with the people you love.
-
Free from the old stories and trauma that made you feel like you were never enough—finally knowing you’re okay, just as you are.
-
Like you don’t have to shrink, fix, or filter yourself just to feel accepted—because you’re done wondering if you’re “too much.”
-
Clear and steady when you make decisions—instead of spinning out in overthinking, second-guessing, or people-pleasing.
-
Able to rest without guilt or shame—because taking care of yourself doesn’t feel selfish anymore.
-
In charge of your emotions instead of being hijacked by them—so you can remember without re-living the pain.
-
Like you’re finally in your life—not just getting through the day, but actually showing up with strength and clarity.
This kind of change is possible.
And it’s exactly what happens during a Root Intensive therapy retreat.
Why traditional therapy might not be working for you
Let’s imagine for a moment that you’re trying to explore the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History—all 325,000 square feet of it.
But you can only go once a week, during your lunch break.
Each time you show up, you have to remember where you left off, figure out where to go next, and try to take it all in.
Just when you start to really get into it, it’s time to head back to work.
That’s what weekly therapy can feel like.
Most sessions are 50 to 60 minutes—but only a fraction of that is spent doing deep work because you’re…
-
Catching up on the week
-
Reopening what you didn’t get to finish last time
-
Trying to “land the plane” before you leave so you’re not emotionally raw heading back into your day
That means maybe 30 minutes, if that, of real processing.
No wonder it can feel like you’re talking in circles or not making real progress.
With an intensive retreat, we don’t lose time starting and stopping.
We go deep—and stay there.
That’s how real breakthroughs happen. In days, not months.
