What Is the Four Blinks Version of Flash Group?
The Four Blinks Version of Flash Group is a safe, gentle, and effective method for reducing the emotional intensity of painful or traumatic memories. Instead of revisiting the distressing details, you stay grounded in a pleasant, calming scene, allowing your brain to reprocess the memory in tiny, manageable “microslices.”
This approach is designed to be low-distress and highly supportive, making it accessible even for people who feel hesitant or overwhelmed by traditional trauma therapy.
How the Process Works
In group, you will be guided through a structured, step-by-step process:
- Create a Container: A safe mental “storage space” to keep the painful memory at a comfortable distance.
- Enter a Calm Scene: You’ll focus on something enjoyable or soothing — a memory, a video, or a comforting activity.
- Quick Glances: You briefly touch a tiny slice of the memory, then return to your calm scene.
- Blinking Technique: Every five seconds, you blink intentionally. This splits the calm scene into smaller pieces, making the brief exposures even more gentle and effective.
- Repeat: Over several cycles, the memory becomes less distressing and begins to feel like part of the past.
Why clients appreciate this group
- Gentle: You never need to retell or relive your traumatic memory.
- Safe: Built-in grounding tools help you stay regulated at every step.
- Effective: Works quickly for many people, even with old or complex trauma.
- Supportive: The group structure offers connection, pacing, and community healing without sharing personal details.
