Is Reclaim Retreat the Right Fit for You?
Our screening process is confidential, and collaborative, designed to protect your safety and the integrity of the group experience.
How We Screen Participants
1. Confidential Intake Form
Once you connect with us through our website, we will email you a Confidential Intake Form. This form helps us understand:
-Trauma history and healing goals
-Current emotional and psychological stability
-Medical and psychiatric conditions
-Medications and substance use history
-Current therapeutic support
-Capacity for group-based work
All information is held strictly confidential.
2. Standard Inventories & Consultation
After your intake form is completed, we may:
-Send additional standard, evidence-informed inventories (e.g., Brief COPE, WHO-5, ACE, LEC-5, C-SSRS), or
-Send available appointment dates and times to meet privately via video with a clinical facilitator.
During the consultation, we assess:
-Readiness for EMDR and somatic work
-Emotional regulation and nervous system stability
-Capacity to tolerate activation and integration
-Ability to engage in group-based setting
-Current life stressors
This conversation is collaborative, not evaluative, and helps ensure the retreat environment matches your stage of healing.
3. Clinical Review & Follow-Up
After the consultation, each case is reviewed with our clinical team. We will then email you with the next steps:
-Confirmation of readiness to participate in Reclaim Retreat or
-Guidance and referrals if additional stabilization or support is recommended
Who Thrives at Reclaim Retreat
Participants who benefit most often:
-Have prior therapeutic experience
-Possess basic coping and grounding skills
-Are ready to engage individually and in group sharing
Why Screening Matters
EMDR and somatic trauma work access deep emotional and physiological material. In a 5-day immersive retreat, this work can be intense. Screening ensures:
-Participant safety and emotional stability
-Protection from nervous system overwhelm
-A supportive and contained environment
-Transformative healing without destabilization
If We Recommend Waiting:
If the retreat is not the right fit at this time, it does not mean you are “too complex” or “not ready.” It simply means additional support or stabilization may help you fully benefit in the future. We provide guidance toward safe next steps.
