Flash Technique in
Florida
Overview
A low-distress adjunct to EMDR that helps process traumatic memories without staying inside the pain. Telehealth across Florida.
— The Short Answer
Flash Technique is a relatively new, evidence-based therapeutic intervention designed to reduce the emotional intensity of distressing memories very quickly and with minimal distress. It is often used as a preparation for EMDR or as a stand-alone approach for clients who find traditional trauma processing too overwhelming.
The Approach
Unlike many other trauma therapies, Flash Technique does not require you to consciously focus on the traumatic memory for more than a fraction of a second at a time. Instead, you focus on a positive, engaging resource while the brain processes the memory in the background.
At The MindShift Studio, Flash Technique is integrated into comprehensive trauma therapy and is available to adults throughout Florida via secure telehealth.
