This innovative and pioneering workshop provides:
Flash Technique Introduction
An introduction to and demonstration of the Flash Technique. There will be the opportunity for a live personal experience of FT without any need for personal sharing of the targeted disturbing memory.
Integration Methods and Applications
Examples and fun role plays of how to
integrate Flash into Couples and Family Therapy.
Case Consultation and Q & A Session
Let's talk about Flash! Talk to Celeste and David about what you've learned, what you're thinking, and how you can use Flash with clients on your caseload.
This seminar will be helpful both for those who have taken Manfield and Engel's 6-hour Introduction to the Flash Technique and the Advanced Courses (see Flashtechnique.com) as well as for therapists who would like to learn about this exciting new therapeutic technique.
In Couples and Family Therapy, we usually deal with disturbing incidents experienced in the relationship, and often uncover earlier interpersonal traumas that may get triggered by current relationship dynamics.
Recent research into the psychotherapeutic outcomes of the treatment of trauma and PTSD in individuals shows promising results when partners and family members are included in the therapy.
However, the current treatment paradigm for trauma-focused therapies 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.
Peer-reviewed research and clinical data point to a New Paradigm: healing with minimal to no exposure using Manfield's Flash Technique (FT).

FT has been found to be effective, rapid, and is preferred by clients over exposure-based trauma therapies. Over 25,000 trauma-informed therapists have been trained in FT over the past 7 years, with 21 peer-reviewed studies describing rapid and effective healing from disturbing memories and fear, and more are underway.
Celeste and David have extensive backgrounds in couples and family therapy, and each has trained in and utilized FT from its beginning 7 years ago. They have also led a Special Interest Group at the First Annual International Flash Technique Conference in October 2022 and have met monthly with colleagues exploring the topic of Flash with Couples and Families. They are eager to show you how powerful and healing this technique can be when integrated into work with couples and families.

"I have had the pleasure of knowing David for several years and admire his ability to bring kindness and humor into his interaction with others with such ease. He is most known for his work with trauma and relationships, where, in addition to his professional expertise as a clinical psychologist, he also brings important Buddhist insights as part of his therapeutic approach. I recommend him as a caring and entertaining teacher."

"I recently did a day-long EMDR therapy intensive/retreat with Celeste and recommend the experience whole-heartedly. I had contacted Celeste because I had already discovered EMDR and knew how amazingly effective it can be, and she far exceeded the already high hopes I had with her insight, skill and the safe energetic space she creates for doing that work.”

"We dug into intensely personal and deep places and I was able to stay with the process as Celeste guided me through it. I walked away feeling cleansed and ready to move forward in my life with more success than I had before. I can’t thank Celeste enough for the opportunity to move through these challenges. I can honestly say my life is better since working with her."
