Description
Advanced Flash Technique Webinar
Time: 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM Pacific Time
Date: February 15th, 2025
Presenters: Philip Manfield, Ph.D. and Lewis Engel, Ph.D.
The Flash Technique was introduced in January of 2017 as an adjunct to the EMDR standard protocol, and we are excited about how the technique has evolved and improved since then. In particular, with ten published papers in peer-reviewed journals, including four randomized controlled trials, and several more seeking publishers, Flash can now be considered evidence-based. It can be used by any trauma-trained therapist to make disturbing memories less disturbing. Publications in peer-reviewed journals have documented its use with earthquake victims, health care providers working with COVID-19 patients, dissociative identity disorder, highly dissociative homeless men, motor vehicle accidents, and complaints of traumatic life events.
If you took one of our first webinars, this advanced webinar is an opportunity to improve your skills at conducting the Flash Technique and get up to speed on recent advances and research. Using video clips, experiential exercises, live demonstrations, and didactic presentation, participants will be introduced to more advanced principles and applications of the Flash Technique, including current research, subconscious processing, interactive positive engaging focus (PEF), the treatment of preverbal trauma (demonstrated in a clinical video), processing extreme forms of dissociation and overwhelmingly disturbing memories, group Flash treatment, and use of the Flash Technique outside of the structure of EMDR to reduce distress from a disturbing memory.
