Healing in a Flash: Integrating Flash Technique & EMDR to Accelerate Trauma Recovery for Kids

$129.99 Standard

Children seek safety, connection, and relief from distressing experiences—but developing nervous systems process trauma differently than adults.  

Traditional reprocessing techniques don’t always work, requiring creative, developmentally appropriate approaches to healing. 

In this training Christine will teach you how to: 

  • Adapt the Flash Technique and EMDR to meet the unique needs of children 
  • Use playful and creative interventions that make trauma processing more effective  
  • Integrate these techniques seamlessly into your existing therapeutic model 

The Flash Technique is an evidence-based tool that can be integrated with EMDR and adapted to a child’s developmental stage, play style, and capacity for engagement.  

Leave this training inspired and equipped with new interventions that will transform how you approach trauma therapy with children—unlocking powerful pathways to healing. 

 

This course is not affiliated with EMDRIA and does not qualify toward EMDRIA credits or training.
