Description

Every trauma therapist feels the tension. If I go there with my clients, will they be retraumatized? Will they drop out of treatment? If I don’t go there... am I colluding with their avoidance? Am I keeping them stuck?

What if there was a way to painlessly and rapidly resolve your clients’ most distressing memories?

The Flash Technique is a safe and effective strategy for helping your clients process trauma-related disturbance by having them focus on a positive anchor while traumatic memories are effortlessly processed in their background awareness.

Depending on the type of trauma memory, Flash may be a complete intervention, or it may be paired with any of the therapies you utilize in your practice.

Learn the Flash Technique directly from developer Dr. Phil Manfield, along with Dr. Lewis Engel, who have trained thousands of therapists internationally during this recording of their popular workshop. These master clinicians will walk you step-by-step through this easy-to-learn technique by:

  • Sharing videos of real Flash sessions
  • Conducting live demonstrations with training attendees
  • Facilitating practica in which you will be led to experience the transformative power of Flash for yourself
  • You’ll walk away knowing how a Flash session will feel for your clients – and seeing for yourself how this technique will drastically reduce your own risk of vicarious traumatization and burnout

Revolutionize your practice with the Flash Technique.
