If you are a trauma therapist and Flash approaches have not resonated with you, I'm inquiring about why?

Please don’t give up on this technique. It truly works. My clients love it and are astonished at the results. Tom Zimmerman is devoted to helping people learn this for good reason. It works!

It works so well and I am beyond grateful to Tom. One of my client actually told me yesterday, ‘please tell him thank Tom for me, and I didn’t think I could move beyond this memory. This memory is irrelevant to me now”.

Is there a work-around for clients who find REAL difficulty in creating, maintaining and using visualisation for the container, moving stuff into the container and making it move away etc and creating a calm scene? Is it possible that a client can do a quiet activity, such as colouring in/painting; reciting out loud a poem that they like; sorting a pile of coins or playing cards into suits, etc as a substitute for visualising a calm scene, for example? Is it possible similarly find a different way to, at least, put things into a container... could it be an actual container? Or does it have to visually 'leave the space' occupied by the client?

Yes. I like to use bean bags. The bean bags come to represent the "distress" in the memory and when they are tossed in a wicker basket, that is the rough equivalent to a container. See: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a8l5jcx0mtW-eJs.html

@@thomaszimmerman6659 Thank you very for that...I feel more comfortable being able to offer that as a solution. I'd best get making some, then. What about a quiet activity (of the client's choosing) to use instead of a calm scene? He's actually a drummer and feels at his best while drumming... but I can't think that could be described as calm! I guess that the activity needs to be something that doesn't take too much thought - am I right on that one? Perhaps something repetitive? I have to say that I'm doing this with a client via video link... and he's only got a mobile phone for us to link up. He can't watch a video on the phone and then switch to me.

After the memory is processed and the client is no longer reporting distress, what does the therapist do? Is there an installation phase?

In and all versions of Flash that I’m aware of, there is not an insulation phase. However, after a flash session that ended in no distress, it is very common for clients to report very strong positive cognitions, when you ask them about them.
