Does the session end when you just reached what matters?
Sesiones Deep Focus · en inglés y españolRETURN TO SELF — Deep Focus Sessions
You spent most of the hour catching up, settling in, or working your way past “I’m fine.” When the real knot finally comes into view (the memory, fear, shame, or relationship pattern underneath) the clock says you’re done. You leave carrying it. Next week, you have to find the doorway all over again.
Ask Whether Deep Focus FitsThe problem may not be a lack of insight. It may be that the pattern keeps taking over before you can interrupt it.
- You can explain where the pattern came from, but your body still reacts before you can choose differently.
- Weekly sessions repeatedly stop as the most important material begins to surface.
- One memory, rupture, fear, or decision is taking up more room than you want it to.
- You keep returning to the same pain without enough time to follow its full emotional arc.
- The pattern is beginning to affect sleep, work, health, relationships, or your ability to be present.
If several of these feel persistent, it may be worth having one honest conversation about fit. This is not a promise that a Deep Focus session is the right format.
Some things were never going to fit inside an hour.
Begin with the problem that keeps following you home.
- “I cannot stop bracing for rejection.”
- “One memory still has too much power over my body.”
- “No matter how much I do, I never feel like enough.”
- “I keep betraying my own needs to keep the peace.”
- “We keep having the same fight and both end up alone.”
- “This loss, diagnosis, transition, or decision has stirred up something older.”
Several may overlap. The work does not need to fit one neat box, but it does need a clear clinical purpose.
What is a Deep Focus session?
¿Qué es una sesión Deep Focus?What it actually is
It is not a longer appointment. It is a different shape of work.
Instead of opening a subject and closing it again fifty-five minutes later, we stay with it — long enough to reach the part underneath, and long enough to settle before you leave. The pace is yours. We stop when you say stop.
Formats run from a focused two hours to a full day, or several days arranged together. Which one fits depends on what you are bringing, and we decide that together on the consultation call rather than in advance.
Deep Focus is not
- A forced breakthrough.
- A promise to heal faster.
- Automatically better than weekly therapy.
- Appropriate for every person or every season.
How the day is held.
Before
We meet first for the free consultation, then plan the session around one clear focus. You arrive knowing what we are working on and how the time is shaped.
During
Long enough to reach what is underneath, with breaks built in. The modalities are the same ones I use weekly — ART, AEDP, EFT, IFS-informed work — given room to finish rather than pause.
After
We close with time to settle rather than a hard stop, and agree what follow-up would help — whether that is returning to weekly work, spacing sessions out, or checking in once.
The formats.
A half-day Deep Focus
One subject, uninterrupted. Often the first step for someone testing whether this format suits them.
$700 · a half day (three face-to-face hours)
A one-day Deep Focus
Six clinical hours with breaks built in. Room to reach something and still settle before the day ends.
$1,700 · a full working day
A multi-day Deep Focus
Consecutive days arranged together, six clinical hours each, for work that needs more than one sitting to move.
$2,900 for two days · $4,000 for three
Each fee covers the clinical hours themselves plus the preparation, planning, and integration the format requires — the work outside the room that makes a focused session possible. Because that preparation is largely the same whether we work for one day or three, consecutive days cost less per hour.
Booking and changes.
A Deep Focus session is booked with a 20% deposit, which comes off the total. The balance is due seven days before the first day. Because a Deep Focus session sets aside a block of time that cannot be refilled at short notice — and because most of the preparation happens before you arrive — these terms differ from a weekly session. If you need to cancel:
- 21 or more days ahead: your deposit is refunded in full. (14 or more days for a focused session.)
- 14 to 20 days ahead: the deposit is retained. (7 to 13 days for a focused session.)
- 7 to 13 days ahead: 50% of the fee. (2 to 6 days for a focused session.)
- Under 7 days: the full fee. (Under 48 hours for a focused session.)
Moving the date. One reschedule is free with at least seven days’ notice, as long as we land on a new date within ninety days. Your preparation carries over. A second change, or a change inside seven days, follows the schedule above.
If I don’t think it’s the right fit. If preparation or screening tells me Deep Focus isn’t clinically appropriate for you right now, I’ll say so and refund everything, including the deposit. I’d rather return the money than run a format that won’t serve you.
If something serious happens. Illness, hospitalization, bereavement, a safety crisis — I’m not going to apply a schedule rigidly to an emergency. Tell me what’s happened and we’ll work it out.
If I have to cancel. A full refund, and first choice of the next available block.
These terms apply to Deep Focus sessions only. Weekly sessions keep the usual 48-hour notice. Your fee and these terms appear in the Good Faith Estimate before anything is booked.
Tell me what you're carrying.
The consultation is fifteen minutes and costs nothing. We'll work out whether a Deep Focus session is the right shape for what you're bringing — and if it isn't, I'll say so.
