2025 WORKSHOP SERIES
ANTI-RACIST AND CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE TRAUMA TREATMENT
Join three leaders in the field to learn cutting-edge approaches to EMDR and trauma recovery for work with complex trauma and diverse populations.
In the 2nd workshop in the series, Thomas will walk us through his Four Blinks Version of the Flash Technique, focusing on its application in treating complex trauma which can be easily adapted across diverse cultural contexts.
This version of Flash is parts-centric with parts language built into every core step. It has the body on the radar at all times. When other versions of Flash reliably end with a SUDs of 1, 2, or 3, often this is because the body isn’t on the radar. Four Blinks has a built-in resource to quickly get distress from overactivation out of the body as quickly as possible.
All profits from the series will go to support the work of Trauma Aid UK whose Humanitarian Assistance programmes continue to bring hope and healing to under-represented regions affected by war, conflict and mass trauma. The event will be recorded and available for 45 days.
