This topic is SO SO SO SO misunderstood. Intensification itself is blissful. It is the body FINALLY feeling better and healing. It isn't scary. However, in order for the body to do the heavy lifting and heal, the body's defenses are "lowered." This makes one more susceptible to mold hits. This is why it is intense. But the season of healing itself - intensification - is quite joyful and rewarding. Which is why people do it in the first place :)
