BLAST Technique®

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®

The BLAST Technique® is a gentle, structured approach designed to help you process distressing memories and the emotional charge attached to them, without needing to go into every detail of what happened.

It’s an evidence-informed, neuroscience-backed method that uses bilateral stimulation (left-right stimulation) alongside a clear, step-by-step process to help the mind and body update old threat responses. Many people like this approach because it aims to reduce emotional overwhelm during the session and supports you to feel more settled afterwards.

A calm, client-led way of working

With BLAST Technique® sessions, you stay in control. We work at your pace, and you only share what feels comfortable. The intention is not to “relive” the experience, but to help your system safely reprocess it so it no longer feels like it’s happening in the present.

Clients often explore BLAST Technique® for support with:

  • trauma, PTSD and complex trauma symptoms

  • anxiety and feeling on edge

  • phobias

  • sleep difficulties

  • grief and bereavement

  • shame, guilt, anger, and persistent emotional triggers

  • cravings and unwanted patterns

Why clients choose this approach

Clients often choose BLAST Technique® because it is:

  • Structured and time-efficient

  • Designed to minimise distress (no pressure to fully re-experience or describe everything)

  • Compassionate and client-centred

  • Grounded in neuroscience concepts such as memory reconsolidation

 

What to expect

We work at your pace, in a safe, non-judgemental space. You remain in control throughout, and you only share what feels comfortable.
