Masterclass · Summer Forlenza
A guided, at-home introduction to EMDR's Flash Forward technique — for the challenges ahead of you.
45-second preview — the full session is included in membership.
EMDR is one of the best-researched trauma therapies, and some of its techniques can be safely practised at home. In this hands-on masterclass, EMDR therapist Summer Forlenza teaches the Flash Forward technique: instead of only processing the past, you reduce the charge around challenges coming up in your future — the presentation, the difficult conversation, the thing you've been bracing against.
It's a working session, not a lecture. With a notebook, the workbook and (optionally) a small grounding object, you'll build a "calm place" you can return to, pair it with slow bilateral tapping, and walk through the technique step by step — leaving with a practice you can repeat whenever stress starts to spike.

“This was absolutely incredible! I cried during the calm/safe place exercise. I finally realized I’ve been feeling unsafe with tumult at work. The EMDR work really helped me calm down and left me able to get sh*t done today!”
