6/5/2021, Saturday, 10am-12noon; Trauma, Memory, Resilience and Consciousness; Seminar, Live/Online, and will be recorded for later viewing.
Serving and bearing witness to those suffering physically, emotionally and spiritually, healthcare personnel can be left with vicarious and secondary trauma from distressing memories. This has been described as "Critical Incident Stress Syndrome." We will address these issues with some exciting new developments in the field of trauma therapy, modified into an easy, rapid visualization exercise.
Since 2017, over 7,000 EMDR-trained psychotherapists from over 30 countries have attended a daylong workshop or webinar to learn of a recent advance in trauma treatment: the Flash Technique®, developed over the past year by senior EMDR trainer Phil Manfield, Ph.D. with Lewis Engel, Ph.D.
In contrast to other psychological treatments for trauma (such as EMDR, Prolonged Exposure Therapy; Critical Incident Stress Debriefing; Trauma Focused-CBT; Somatic Experiencing®, Emotional Freedom Technique, etc.) the Flash Technique® INVOLVES NO CONSCIOUS EXPOSURE to traumatic or disturbing memories. This paradigm shift reduces the risk of re-traumatization to nearly zero.
Derived from Manfield and Engel's technique for EMDR-trained therapists, a new technique is offered as a self-administered visualization process to help psychotherapists and other health care personnel when they have disturbing memories, either from their own personal history or after exposure to significant medical, emotional and spiritual suffering in patients and their loved ones. A short and simple visualization, it can rapidly reduce primary or vicarious trauma and can promote and integrate resilience.
This approach has been demonstrated to psychologists, social workers, other mental health professionals, and to physicians, nurses and chaplains in oncology, palliative care, hospice and ICU and ER staff at UCSF and Kaiser San Rafael. We have also hosted meetings demonstrating the Flash Technique® for researchers and clinicians from the VAMCSF, UCSF, ZSFGH Trauma Center, and to senior Zen, Tibetan Buddhist and Insight Meditation teachers.
In this two-hour presentation, we will hear clinical case examples, and will discuss theoretical issues in the nature of trauma, memory re-consolidation and subliminal perception research, together with how Buddhism and psychedelic awarenesses help us understand consciousness and resilience
Most importantly, participants will have an opportunity to DIRECTLY EXPERIENCE this technique to subjectively feel changes in participants' own disturbing memories (of any kind. Contents of such memories do not need to be revealed or discussed by participants).
This program was previously presented live at TibetHouse.US in New York City on February 29,2020.
PREVIOUS TRAINING IN EMDR IS NOT REQUIRED
("Money-back guarantee" for any participant who does not find this seminar engaging, powerfully useful in their clinical practice and personal life, and intriguing for what it can demonstrate about consciousness and memory.)
