They avoid it because the idea of going back into the memory is unbearable. If that's you, Flash was designed for exactly that problem. EFT can address it as well. ## What makes Flash and EFT different In Flash Technique you don't consciously engage with the traumatic memory at all. We talk about something unrelated that genuinely interests you while I guide rhythmic tapping and eye movements. The distressing material processes in the background of your attention, rather than in the foreground of your experience. People often finish a Flash session surprised by how little it cost them to get there. EFT can also operate in this gentle way such that the difficult material is kept at a distance. ## Why run it as an intensive Flash — and EFT, which is gentle in the same way — tend to work quickly, which makes both well suited to concentrated blocks. In an intensive we can move through several targets across consecutive days, and because these methods are gentle, most people tolerate that pace far better than they expect to. ## Being straight with you about the evidence Flash Technique is newer than EMDR. There is published research supporting it and a growing clinical literature, but it doesn't have EMDR's decades of study behind it. I use it because I've watched it work and because it opens a door for people who would otherwise never walk through one — and I'll tell you plainly where it sits. I'm a Flash Technique practitioner and listed in the method's own practitioner directory. EFT has been around since the early 1990's, and has an increasing tome of excellent international research such as the work of Australian Dr. Peta Stapleton. As with the Flash Technique, I see it help people immensely, and it gives some of them a way in that nothing else has. Intensives run $290–$900 by length. Available in person in Albany, and online across California and Texas. Fit ## This is often the right starting point if - You've wanted to address something for years and can't make yourself begin. - Previous trauma work left you flooded or overwhelmed. - You need to stay functional — at work, as a parent — while you do this. - You're curious about EMDR but not ready to face the memory directly. If you're in immediate danger or thinking about harming yourself, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or call 911. This page is not emergency care. ## Not ready to face it head-on? That's exactly the point. Start with a free 15-minute consultation.
