Trauma Breakthroughs in a Flash
Copyright :
Although we humans process thoughts and feelings faster when we’re not in a state of fight or flight, many traditional trauma treatments involve asking clients to focus on disturbing events, sometimes to the point of fully engaging with painful memories. Alternatively, there’s an exciting, easy-to-apply, evidence-based technique—the Flash Technique—that removes the engagement element while allowing healing to take place. In fact, there is growing evidence that shows a wide range of trauma survivors can be distracted from haunting, painful memories and still process them successfully. In this experiential workshop, you’ll discover:
- The essential steps to applying the Flash Technique with traumatized clients
- How clients can successfully process their traumas without bringing them clearly to mind
- What research shows us about the safety and effectiveness of working in this way
- How the technique compares to and is compatible with EMDR
