The Four Blinks Approach to Flash: Core Training and Creative Applications

Course overview

Flash approaches allow clients to process trauma or help shift stuck information by working a tiny slice of the memory or issue at a time and maintain a positive effect throughout the session. This workshop is designed to create an environment for clinicians to enhance their understanding of Flash-based memory reconsolidation research and techniques in assorted clinical contexts and settings. Participants will learn a version of Flash specifically developed for complex trauma and for use in assorted contexts (individual sessions, group sessions, and as a critical incident intervention). The facilitator will instruct participants in the core resources necessary to implement this version of Flash reliably, safely, and predictably. Participants will practicum Flash in a group led by the facilitator. Participants are encouraged to bring a tablet or a smart phone with headphones to help make the calm scene more accessible.
