Flash Technique 2018 Webinar Recording Quiz

According to a YOUTUBE presentation by Dr. Bruce Ecker, processing from the flash technique occurs because the client recognizes that they can survive connecting to the traumatic memory.

According to Dr. Philip Manfield, even in the preparation phase, some processing appears to take place during flash technique.

A primary condition necessary for unlocking synapses of Trauma memories is:

An indication that a trauma memory has been erased rather than extinguished is:

The flash technique was first developed by Dr. Philip Manfield in 2004.

For the flash technique to be most effective, the trauma memory should not have a feeder memory.

Initial activation of the target occurs primarily during which EMDR Phase?

In the most recent evolution of the flash technique, clients are told not to access any aspect of the target at all.

The flash technique was developed to assist in the treatment of clients with trauma memories that are no more than mildly disturbing.

The "flash" technique accomplishes the two conditions required by Memory Reconsolidation research, accessing the full affect and a prediction error.

The flash technique can be quite effective even if clients are not sure that they have connected with the target memory.

For the flash technique to be effective, it is crucial that the client be consciously connected to at least one aspect of the trauma memory.

Clients should not use a cue word when they flash on their traumatic memory.

Clients are willing to process overwhelming memories with the flash technique because it doesn't require them to feel the pain connected with those memories.

It is best that clients be solidly anchored in their positive engaging place before flashing, for the flash technique to be effective.

The flash technique was developed to assist in the treatment of clients with trauma memories that they experience as overwhelmingly disturbing.

Which of the following is a metaphor suggested for use with the flash technique?

The flash technique should not be used with clients who are dissociative.

After each set of eye movements in the flash technique, the therapist asks “What came up for you?”

If the client finishes a flash in a mild to severe activated state, the therapist must help the client achieve an unactivated state before initiating another flash.

If the client reports that he or she felt some disturbance when flashing, the therapist should consider whether the positive engaging focus is sufficiently strong to hold the client’s attention.

EMDR is one of the therapies that can produce transformational change.

The therapist should get a detailed description of the target before beginning the flash technique.

The therapist should make sure the client can do a single flash and maintain connection to the engaging focus before beginning triple flashes.

The flash technique takes place during the preparation phase of EMDR.

Once the client’s disturbance level has been substantially reduced using the flash technique, the therapist will usually begin the assessment phase of EMDR.

At least one animal study has shown that memory retrieval leading to erasure can occur without emotional recall of the trauma memory.

In humans, memory reconsolidation theory requires that a memory be retrieved and recalled vividly before reconsolidation can occur.

Which client statement is a sign that the client’s disturbance level has been substantially reduced after successfully doing some flashes and returning to their engaging or distracting state?

“Memory consolidation” refers to the first time a memory is stored in long-term memory.
