Intensive Therapy Retreat for Physician Leaders: A Weekend of Transformational Healing on Beautiful Whidbey Island
Physician leaders experience distinct trials and tribulations. You are pressured from all directions: patients, providers, administrators and countless others within your organization. The stress is immense and it pushes on your personal issues, fears and internal places that need healing.
If you're a physician leader struggling with specific issues, barriers, concerns, or experiences, I’m excited to offer you a truly transformative and personalized therapy experience. The weekend intensive is specifically designed for individuals who are ready and willing to dig deep and explore the root causes of their present-day challenges.
During our weekend, we will work closely together to create a customized plan designed to meet your unique wishes for your healing journey.
PREPARATION
Before we begin our weekend work, we will have two 90-minute virtual preparation sessions. During these sessions we’ll decide together what issues you’d like to work through, the background of those issues, and begin to outline the retreat together.
WEEKEND WORK
The weekend therapy sessions will be highly individualized and tailored to your exact needs in the moment. It is a gift to have so many uninterrupted hours together to dig deep into the work and find healing and change.
We will meet for 5 hours of therapy on Friday and Saturday, as well as 2 hours on Sunday, with plenty of time in between sessions for personal reflection, relaxation, and self-care.
INTEGRATION
When we schedule our weekend together, we will also schedule two 90-minute virtual follow-up sessions. The first session will be one week after the retreat and the second session will be based on your preference, normally two to three weeks post retreat. The purpose of these sessions is to help you integrate the insights and breakthroughs you gained during the retreat into your day-to-day life.
During the integration sessions you'll have the opportunity to reflect on your experiences during the weekend, discuss any challenges or obstacles you may be facing, and receive guidance and support on how to apply what you've learned to your everyday life.
The integration sessions are an essential part of the experience, as they help ensure that the benefits of the retreat continue to grow and flourish long after you've returned home. My goal is to provide you with the ongoing support and guidance you need to maintain the momentum of your personal healing journey and achieve lasting positive change in your life.
If you would like further support, we will schedule additional sessions for an added cost.
SETTING
Whidbey Island is a truly breathtaking location that offers the perfect backdrop for your intensive therapy retreat. Located in the Puget Sound of Washington State, Whidbey Island is a place of stunning natural beauty, with miles of pristine coastline, rugged cliffs, and dense forests.
As you arrive on the island, you'll be struck by the sense of peace and tranquility that seems to permeate the air. The island's natural beauty is truly awe-inspiring, with picturesque sunsets, majestic eagles soaring overhead, and the sound of waves gently lapping at the shore.
During our weekend together, you will have time in the early morning, lunch, and late afternoons to take a peaceful walk along the beach, explore the island's numerous hiking trails, or simply enjoy the tranquil sounds of nature from your private cabin.
I believe that the beauty of Whidbey Island will enhance your therapeutic experience, providing a peaceful and serene environment for you to connect with yourself and focus on your healing journey.
LODGING & FOOD
During the weekend, you’ll be staying in your very own cabin, complete with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a full kitchen. The main bedroom boasts a comfortable queen-sized bed and stunning views, providing you with the perfect setting for a peaceful and restful night’s sleep.
Your meals will be catered by a local chef who is committed to providing you with nourishing and wholesome meals made from fresh, organic ingredients.
Please note that while you’ll have plenty of privacy and space to relax and unwind, I will be staying nearby in an adjacent house to support you the entire weekend.
INVESTMENT
The cost for the Intensive Therapy Retreat is $6,400. This includes your three-night stay in a private cabin with all the amenities you need to feel comfortable and relaxed, all meals and snacks, 12 hours of in person individual therapy sessions over the course of the weekend and an additional 6 hours of therapy before and after the weekend (two 90-minute preparation virtual sessions before your arrival, and two 90-minute follow up sessions after the weekend is over to ensure you are supported in your transition back to daily life).
I know that this is a significant investment in both time and money in yourself and your wellbeing and yet I believe the benefits of intensive therapy are immeasurable. You’ll have the opportunity to work through deeply rooted issues and emerge with a newfound sense of clarity and purpose that can positively impact all areas of your life.
One of the unique benefits of this intensive therapy retreat is the amount of focused time and attention you’ll receive. When you add up the hours, you will be doing over 3 months of weekly therapy in just one weekend. This allows for a deep level of exploration that simply isn’t possible in traditional weekly therapy sessions.
IS THIS WEEKEND INTENSIVE RETREAT FOR YOU?
This retreat is specifically tailored to the physician leader who is seeking to work through defined, identifiable issues, concerns, or experiences that may be impacting your personal or professional life. It is designed for an individual who is ready and willing to engage in intensive therapy over the course of a weekend to gain greater insight, clarity, and healing.
If you're a physician leader who feels stuck or is struggling with a particular issue, this intensive therapy retreat may be the perfect opportunity for you to dive deep and work through those challenges. I would be honored to be a part of your healing journey if you are ready to get into the often difficult and painful parts of your life to unveil your strengths and work through your challenges.
This retreat may not be the right fit for everyone. It is designed to be an intensive therapy experience, which means that it can be emotionally challenging and may require a significant amount of personal work and self-reflection. As such, it may not be suitable for individuals who are not yet ready or willing to engage in this level of deep, introspective work.
Additionally, if you are currently in crisis or experiencing severe mental health issues, this retreat may not be appropriate for you.
Ultimately, this retreat is best suited for a physician leader who is ready and committed to doing the hard work required to heal and grow. If you're ready to dive deep and embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery and healing, I invite you to contact me to learn more about this unique and powerful retreat experience.
