Eye Movement THERAPY – blast tECHNIQUE ® (EMDR)

BLAST ® is a remarkable technique which was created in 2008 by Psychotherapist Nick Davies, using NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprogramming) and carefully structured suggestions to help process past trauma in a gentle, yet permanent way.  As time has moved on, it has proved to be highly successful in treating a variety of issues, such as anxiety disorders and phobias.  I am a qualified BLAST ® Practitioner and was trained in the process by Nick himself.  I have first-hand experience of resolving trauma by using this incredible technique.

 The BLAST Technique ® is very fast and efficient at resolving PTSD, C-PTSD and trauma.  The neuroscience research shows that the structures in the right side / hemisphere of the brain are overactive and acting as if there is an immediate threat in sufferers of PTSD and trauma.  The BLAST Technique ® utilises precise bi-lateral movements with a light pen (which helps the memory access the left side / hemisphere of the brain) and specific suggestions to the client which helps process the traumatic event naturally, so you understand what happened and can remember, but no longer have any physical or emotional response.

BLAST ® stands for Bi-Lateral Analysis and Stimulation Treatment.  Psychotherapist Nick Davies developed it to work faster and more effectively with PTSD and trauma by utilising the brain’s natural processing systems and it’s been described as “EMDR on steroids”!
