Follow-Up To "A New Way of Healing Emotional Distress" For Hospice and Palliative Medicine Personnel
This is a follow-up session to the webinar presented June 10, 2024 of an adaptation of Manfield's Flash Technique, a neurobiological phenomenon which reduces or eliminates the impact of a previously traumatic and disturbing memory without having to consciously confront the disturbing memory itself.
Personal sharing of memories is NOT required
Previous experience with or knowledge of EMDR or other trauma-informed therapies is NOT required
In this one-hour meeting we will discuss what peoples' experiences have been over the past two months in utilizing what we learned from the past webinar about healing traumatic and disturbing memories.
Any personal sharing is totally voluntary
The current paradigm for conventionally recommended "Evidence-Based Psychotherapies" (EBP's) for trauma and PTSD assumes that conscious exposure to the memory, even if titrated in small doses, is necessary,
While effective in some cases, such exposure therapy can be distressing, which creates problems with treatment acceptance and has potential for re-traumatization.
Four neurobiological research labs over the past 10 years have demonstrated that "Exposure" can be effectively delivered Non-consciouslyand thus without causing traumatized or phobic people to experience distress. These results also shed additional light on consciousness and resilience.
Manfield's Flash Technique is evidence-based and has been taught internationally since 2017 in 6-hour workshops by Phillip Manfield, PhD and Lewis Engel, PhD and has 17 peer-reviewed and 2 randomized controlled (RCT) studies to-date. In a 6-hour free training in April, 2024, 18,000 trauma-informed clinicians registered, with nearly 2,000 attending the live training.

Sheena has been at St Richards Hospice for 6 years. Sheena's training in the Flash Technique, EMDR and other approaches to healing led her to be part of an innovative, trauma-informed palliative care working group (TIPC) based in the UK which is now expanding internationally. Her personal experience with a partner receiving hospice care at St. Richard's in 2001 inspired her to help others in these important times for individuals and families.

Participation in this presentation alone will not qualify those without a mental health background to be deemed a "trauma-informed therapist." For psychotherapists to get further training, a 6-hour introductory course by Manfield and Engel is highly recommended, offered to EMDR or other trauma-informed mental health therapists. These are given every couple of months, and can be found at flashtechnique.com
Past participants in this webinar experienced new understandings about conscious awareness, memory and how to use this technique to diminish the disturbance of their own memories. It also was especially valued as providing ways to directly help others suffering from trauma and by referring to qualified mental health specialists trained in the Flash Technique.
THANK YOU!
