“BLAST Technique Practitioner®” Workshop
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) was the probably the most effective tool out there for dealing with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Trauma, but as with anything, things develop, change and improve over time.
Nick Davies’ BLAST Technique® has been described as “EMDR on steroids!”, it has been created, developed and refined to work faster and more effectively with PTSD and trauma utilising the brains natural processing systems, rather than being just an ‘eye movement’ or ‘confusion technique’.
It has now been effectively used thousands of times by hundreds of trained BLAST® and Advanced BLAST Technique® Practitioners in the UK, USA, Africa, UAE, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, France, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium, Estonia, Iceland and the Czech Republic for conditions detailed below:
PTSD, complex PTSD and trauma from:
Sexual Assaults, Physical Assaults, Child Abuse, Robbery, Mugging, Terrorist Attacks, Narcissist Relationship Abuse, Natural Disasters & Being Diagnosed with Life-Threatening Illnesses.
Other conditions:
Anxiety, General Anxiety Disorder, Depression, Postnatal Depression, Traumatic Birth, Addictions, Phobias, Allergies, Intimidation From Bullying, Jealousy, Anger, Rage, Guilt, Shame, Insomnia, Cravings, Bereavement, Grief, Relationship Breakups, and it can be used to discover any root cause of feelings or emotions.
Without this technique I wouldn’t be as an effective therapist and is one of the reasons I take the cases other therapists avoid. This is seriously one tool I believe everybody should have at their disposal!
