Welcome to Trauma Healing London with Tracy Friend, Advanced BLAST Technique® Practitioner for Trauma & PTSD
What is Psychological Trauma?
Psychological trauma is where there is an enduring emotional response to a distressing event or series of events.
Living with psychological trauma impacts the ability to deal with daily life as you are unable to effectively process the emotional distress. Trauma can result in emotional and physical symptoms.
What is the BLAST Technique®?
“The BLAST Technique® treats PTSD and trauma quickly and permanently, with compassion and kindness”
BLAST® – Bi-Lateral Analysis and Stimulation Treatment
Neuroscience research shows that 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 reprocess the traumatic event so they understand what happened and can remember, but it no longer has any physical or emotional response.
The BLAST Technique® can help with releasing trauma from:
- Bereavement
- Phobias
- Physical and emotional abuse
- Sexual and violent abuse
- Bullying (physical, emotional and verbal)
- Narcissistic abuse
- Serious illness diagnosis
- Accidents
- Flashbacks
- Hypervigilance and startle response
- War
- Natural disasters
