Description
Australia Advanced Flash Technique Webinar:
Time: 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM AEDT
(2:00PM to 9:30PM Pacific Time on January 10, 2025)
Date: January 11th, 2025
Location: Online/Remote
Presenters: Philip Manfield, Ph.D. and Nina Zadurian
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.
What will be addressed in this Advanced Webinar
- Changes to the Flash protocol in recent months
- Flash Technique as an EMDR-inspired independent evidence-based protocol
- Getting the target right
- Use of Cognitive Interweave in Flash
- Integrating EMDR desensitization techniques into Flash
- Q&A: Troubleshooting/problem solving
- Live demos and videos of the updated Flash Technique
Cost: 175 AUD* (119 USD) U.S. participants can add CE credit for an additional $10.
Prerequisite: Participants must have taken a 6-hour standard Flash Technique workshop or webinar.

About the Presenters:
Philip Manfield, Ph.D. is the developer of the Flash Technique, an intervention that permits the processing of trauma virtually painlessly. Developed in 2016 for use in the preparation phase of EMDR, it makes possible the processing of extremely disturbing memories that clients might otherwise be unwilling to address. In the past six years, eleven papers have been published supporting its effectiveness. Together with his colleague, Lewis Engel, PhD, he has presented introductions to the Flash Technique at five national and international conferences, conducted webinars and workshops in eleven countries in addition to the United States, and trained over 13,000 clinicians.
