Please note that this site is no longer the most current version of Four Blinks Version of Flash resources. To get the most current information on trainings, practicum windows, and consultation, please join EMDR’s Third Weekend (you do not need to be EMDR Therapy trained to join and joining is free).

What is different in version 3.0: New (simpler) language throughout more clearly linked with memory reconsolidation; reconceptualized as a treatment guide rather than a script; we do not ever check the SUDs (remaining distress); we explicitly work only with one microslice of the memory at a time and the memory as a whole is never referenced in the reprocessing steps; grounding exercises are included to help clients manage flashbacks; the Shop-Vac resource is included; Step Six walks through the video of the memory differently than in prior versions (fully clearing out each “blip” of distress in the video before playing the video forward); a Flash future template is included in an optional Step Seven; guidance for self-administered Flash are provided for client use between sessions once the client has resolved memories successfully in session.

The treatment guide is about 20 pages and is distributed above in Word and PDF formats.
