THE HIJACKED INTENSIVE
Two Weeks. Built To Interrupt What’s Running You.
Two weeks. Fully virtual. A concentrated clinical protocol built on EMDR, REBT, and the NRC Framework — designed for people who operate under pressure and don’t have six months to sit on a couch. The only intensive of its kind built specifically for law enforcement, military, and high-performance populations.

Weekly therapy isn’t built for your life.
You’ve thought about getting help. Maybe you’ve tried. But the standard model — one hour a week, for months, with a therapist who has to Google what a fatal funnel is — doesn’t work for people like you. Your schedule doesn’t allow it. Your department might notice. And the slow drip of weekly sessions never gets deep enough to reach what’s actually running the show.
The Schedule Problem
You can’t disappear for an hour every Tuesday for the next year without someone asking questions. Between shifts, court, overtime, and family — there’s no room.
The Trust Problem
Most therapists treating your population have never worn the uniform. You spend half your sessions explaining your world instead of working on what brought you in.
The Depth Problem
Weekly sessions scratch the surface. You process one memory, then spend a week back in the environment that created it. By the next session, the window has closed.
The Privacy Problem
Insurance means clinical records. Clinical records mean someone else has access to your diagnosis. For officers and leaders, that’s not an abstract concern — it’s a career risk.
A clinical protocol, not a retreat.
The Hijacked Intensive is a concentrated, two-week treatment program built on Shapiro’s Adaptive Information Processing model, refined through training under Dr. E.C. Hurley — the military’s foremost combat trauma clinician, and integrated with Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy from the Albert Ellis tradition.
This isn’t a healing journey. It’s not a wellness experience. It’s a structured clinical protocol that compresses what would take 6-12 months of weekly therapy into two focused weeks of intensive processing, cognitive restructuring, and forward identity work.
What This Is Not
There are no aromatherapy kits. No journaling prompts. No group circles. No spa language. This is one clinician, one client, peer-reviewed science, and the straight truth about what’s running your nervous system and how to take it back. If you want someone to hold your hand, this isn’t for you. If you want someone who’s been where you are and knows how to get you out — keep reading.
Two weeks. Three tiers. One protocol.
The intensive follows the NRC Framework — a proprietary three-tier integration model developed by Dr. Wilkins that sequences treatment in the order your nervous system actually requires it.
Assessment & Preparation
Before we begin, we conduct a comprehensive intake assessment — clinical history, operational history, target identification, and nervous system baseline. You’ll understand the protocol, the science behind it, and exactly what to expect. No surprises.
Tier 1 — Neuro Stabilization
The nervous system has to be stable enough to hold the processing work. Week one focuses on EMDR-based stabilization using the Adaptive Information Processing model — building the regulatory capacity and adaptive information your system needs before we go deeper. If you’ve tried EMDR before and it “didn’t work,” this is probably the step that was skipped.
Tier 2 — Rational Reconstruction & Processing
With the nervous system stabilized, we move into targeted EMDR reprocessing of the memories and belief structures driving your symptoms — combined with REBT-based cognitive restructuring from the Albert Ellis tradition. This is where the beliefs underneath the trauma get identified, disputed, and replaced. Not with affirmations. With evidence.
Tier 3 — Command Identity & Forward Plan
You don’t leave with just reduced symptoms. You leave with a forward identity — a clear understanding of who you are when you’re not running on the old wiring, and a concrete plan for maintaining it. This isn’t “coping skills.” It’s command training for the mind.
Follow-Up & Continuity
The intensive doesn’t end when you leave. You’ll have scheduled follow-up sessions at 30 and 60 days to assess integration, address anything that surfaced after processing, and ensure the changes hold under real-world operational conditions.
Built for people who can’t afford to stay stuck.
Officers who can’t take six months of weekly therapy without their department noticing
Military personnel between deployments who have a narrow window for treatment
First responders who’ve tried weekly therapy and it never got deep enough
Leaders and executives carrying operational stress they can’t talk about at work
Out-of-state clients who can’t do ongoing weekly sessions across state lines
Spouses and families who are done watching someone they love disappear
Anyone who’s tried EMDR before and it “didn’t work” — likely because stabilization was skipped
People who are done waiting and want the work handled now — not over the next year
Not another wellness retreat.

What it costs. What it’s worth.
The average officer who enters weekly therapy at $150/session for 12 months spends $7,200 — often with marginal results because the sessions never go deep enough. The intensive delivers more concentrated clinical work in two weeks than most clients receive in a year of weekly therapy.
