In 2008, the BLAST Technique® was developed by Nick Davies, international trauma expert as an optimised, neuroscience-backed method for treating PTSD and trauma. This cutting-edge approach accelerates memory reconsolidation, providing a more efficient and effective resolution for both clients and therapists. Unlike traditional therapies, BLAST® rapidly and compassionately resolves trauma without re-traumatisation or emotional distress, making it a gentle yet powerful alternative to EMDR.

During this interactive event Nick Davies, founder of the evidence based BLAST Technique® for trauma will explain what PTSD and trauma are, and how you can determine if you are suffering yourself. He will cover the neuroscience behind PTSD and trauma and explain why some therapies are not only ineffective but can worsen the symptoms, and why sometimes sufferers turn to addiction.

Nick will do a live demonstration with a volunteer, healing their trauma quickly and permanently, with compassion and kindness, with his evidence-based BLAST Technique®. Tracy Friend founder of Liberating the Heart and co-founder of the Law of Attraction Centre will share her experience of how Nick's BLAST Technique® released the emotional pain she had from her sister's suicide. This event is in honour of her sister Sally.

You will be given a powerful BLAST® 'self-care' protocol to take away with you to reduce feelings of anxiety, stress or low mood.

Tracy Friend will teach a five element Traditional Chinese Medicine healing sound meditation to help release any stuck emotions from the organs in the body. She will also share a simple pranayama breathwork technique to assist you with moving from the fight or flight mode of the sympathetic nervous system into the rest and digest mode of the parasympathetic nervous system.

Testimonials:

“Nick is very gifted and talented, going beyond symptoms and addressing root cause in a friendly and reassuring manner. He is very approachable and geared with tools and skills that have freed me of the residual impact of trauma I had experienced. I truly appreciate the preventative focus of the session as opposed to addressing just the symptoms. This session is having a significant impact on my life in many layers. And there I was only looking at addressing the symptom. Little did I know!!!”

“The BLAST Technique® session was crazy, in a matter of minutes I went from a state of horror, nausea and sheer emotion to feeling relieved, happy, like a weight had been lifted. I’m no longer explosive and have much more patience, the BLAST Technique® not only saved me but it also saved my life.”

“I continue to attend Tracy's workshops because her wealth of knowledge on spiritual practices is shared in an understandable and relatable way. I always feel like I've grown spiritually after I have attended. Tracy's gentle and supportive approach, alongside her enthusiasm for the spiritual path makes attending groups a fun and rewarding experience. My life has and is continuing to, shift and change for the better. Thank you Tracy.”
