forgive me if i'm wrong, but from your post i am assuming you are new? to babble? or just to therapy? i am thinking you are new, so welcome :o)

i had been interested in those when i first started and i did some research. What i found were run generally by various types of T's who were more touchy-feely type T's, which is fine, but there weren't any psychologists or anyone who seemed qualified to handle deep or serious issues. They seemed more like a colonic for your brain maybe.. a healthy-living kind of thing.

It would be great i think for someone with depression or self esteem issues, etc.. life issues but i think it would be a disaster for anyone with trauma issues or undiscovered/untreated illness.

i am very glad i did not find one i liked. i have been with my T for 8 months now and we only just began talking about historical stuff, trauma issues. i still struggle with trusting him and some days i am completely overwhelmed by the work we have done.

i would recommend against a camp/retreat like this because therapy is a process. It cannot be hurried or kick-started. A person can do short-quickie style therapy for things like mild phobias. i feel really bad for people limited by insurance policies.

i don't know your issues, or reasons for seeking therapy, but in all fairness to yourself, your health and well being shouldn't be hurried or rushed. Right now i feel like i am trying to pace a flood as stuff has started tumbling out. If stuff begins to flood out for you then you don't want to be at a one week camp.

but if this is what you want, then i hope you find one that meets your needs. i would avoid just online searching and instead contact some local counselling centers and ask around.
