Together, we will discuss new ways to understand stress from disturbing and traumatic memories, (even from the news of the night before!) and from projections from the past onto the future. Consciousness can be seen through a convergence of Tibetan Buddhism, Zen, psychedelic experiences, memory reconsolidating research and a new, non-exposure trauma therapy - the Flash Technique® - that has been successfully taught to over 7,000 EMDR trauma therapists, and is now being provided for healthcare workers burdened by secondary or vicarious trauma due to COVID-19.

There will be an opportunity to directly experience a modification of the Flash Technique®. Personal sharing of any traumatic memories will not be necessary, and yet this non-exposure technique usually gets very rapid and impressive changes in how the memory is then experienced.
