 Justin Havens has asked us to circulate information about a webinar happening also on the 29th January - obviously the EMDR South west one is the most important however you can access this one via a recording: This webinar by the founder of the Flash Technique (Dr Phil Manfield) has been run several times in person and online, and Flash is a well established approach for use during EMDR preparation and desensitisation to reduce the SUD’s of intense traumatic memories. The webinar costs about £95 (its booked in US dollars) and includes 6 UK EMDR CPD points if you book the option with a quiz (the more expensive option $129).

The morning is recorded with myself providing Q and A support, and the US team joins for the live segment in the afternoon, which includes Dr Manfield working with challenging cases live.
