The Flash Technique – Easy Read Information

When something hurts our feelings, we can be upset for a while.

But usually, the feelings go away on their own.

Sometimes, the memory can come back and upset us again.

The Flash Technique is a treatment that could help.

The Flash Technique works even if you don’t think or talk about the memory.

This makes it easier for people.

Your health worker will talk to you about the technique and answer any questions.

You will agree together if this is right for you.

If so, this can be added to your care plan.

Your health worker will make an appointment for the treatment with you.

The appointment will say where to come and what time.

At the appointment, you will know the person giving you the treatment.

The room you sit in will be quiet and private.

We will ask you to talk about a good memory you have.

We will ask you to blink a few times.

At the end of the appointment, we’ll ask you to tell us if the feelings are better.

This will help us know if the treatment has worked.

To make sure it lasts, we will ask you again, at your next appointment.

Please tell a member of staff.
