What is it?

​

The Flash Technique was developed by Dr Phillip Mansfield to prepare his patients for Eye-Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR).

Since its development, it has been shown to be effective in many research trials to reduce distress levels in areas such as traumatic memories and phobias.

The technique uses Bilateral Stimulation (BLS) and eye movements to help resolve unprocessed memories to become more tolerable to think of. This means they are more accessible to discuss in psychological therapies like counselling/psychotherapy.
