"Healing trauma without distress" Interviewing Trauma Specialist, Creator of "Four Blinks" - Thomas Zimmerman

Complex Trauma specialist talks about his method to heal trauma/PTSD without feeling distress.

In this interview, I talk to Thomas Zimmerman, the creator of "Four Blinks", a therapeutic modality which was derived from Flash Therapy, which itself was a tool created as an adjunct to EMDR. These are all tools utilised in helping people heal from psychological trauma/PTSD/CPTSD. Thomas states that his Four Blinks method can help people heal from trauma without feeling distressed or overwhelmed during therapy.
