The Flash Technique
At Tranquil Waves Counseling, we use the Flash Technique as a gentle, evidence-based approach to help clients heal from traumatic or distressing experiences. Originally developed in 2017 by Phillip Mansfield, this method offers a unique way to reprocess difficult memories without directly reliving them. By focusing on positive and engaging thoughts, Flash can provide relief for individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma-related disorders, and more, making it suitable for clients of all ages.
Introduction to The Flash Technique
-
The Flash technique was created by Phillip Mansfield in 2017. -
Flash is an evidenced-based approach that is meant to reduce symptoms associated with traumatic or distressing experiences. -
The Flash technique originally grew out of EMDR therapy; but has been developed to be used as either a stand-alone technique or used in conjunction with other therapeutic approaches. -
Much like EMDR, Flash uses eye-motion and tapping during the process. Unlike EMDR, Flash has clients not directly focus on the traumatic memory, but rather the PEF (Positive Engaging Focus) instead. -
This technique is meant to help clients work through distressing events in a less jarring way, because clients are not directly in contact with the memory, but the brain is still reprocessing the information. -
Flash can be helpful for clients of all ages. -
Clients who have dissociative disorders, depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma-related disorders, OCD, or other conditions can benefit from this approach.
