BLAST Technique® Training!

Imagine you had a technique that you would use with 70% to 80% of your clients that would heal their trauma in minutes rather than sessions. Would you use it? Bi-Lateral Analysis Stimulation Technique, or BLAST®, is what we believe to be a highly efficient, effective and kindest treatment for trauma, PTSD and Complex PTSD. BLAST®. It was developed in 2008 by Nick Davies in Warwickshire, UK, who managed to speed up the process and efficacy of trauma treatment for an all-around better experience for the client and the therapist. BLAST® has also been highly effective in the treatment of phobias, anxiety, medical trauma, relationship breakups, intimidation from bullying, guilt, shame, cravings, bereavement, and more. Since its inception BLAST® has helped bring relief to suffering individuals without being intrusive or causing more distress through the repeated re-living of traumatic experiences. (This is not exposure therapy!)

When: Saturday, June 14, 2025, and Sunday, June 15, 2025
Time: 9:30AM to 5:00PM
Where: TBD
Valdosta, GA
Registration Deadline: May 26, 2025
(Early Bird Registration Discount Available)

Refreshments and Lunch will be provided.

Only qualified and currently practicing licensed/certified practitioners (professional social workers, clinical therapists, psychologists, counselors, doctors, hypnotherapists and trauma-informed practitioners, etc.) should apply.

Once you have successfully completed the training, you will be fully supported in your practice with:
• Further training in other BLAST Technique® protocols (such as treating: Depression, Grief and Addictions) and
• Membership in a closed Facebook group of qualified BLAST® Practitioners. Here you can get support, opportunities to practice, share your progress, and have your queries answered.

Here is a client testimonial about how BLAST has changed her life:

"I booked an appointment with Jason Griner at Oakwood Counseling Center after my most recent talk therapist recommended EMDR.

After our first session, Jason advised that he felt that BLAST would be a better modality to address my issues. He explained that BLAST wouldn’t require me to relive the trauma of past emotional, physical and sexual abuse, loss of a sibling, and parental and child estrangement along with all the “landmines” that accompany these issues.

At our first BLAST session, we addressed child estrangement. I had been struggling with that situation for months and it was affecting me physically, mentally and emotionally. Had I known what a difference that little penlight was going to make, I’d have sought out this treatment sooner. I went from not being able to mention the name of my child without sobbing to being able to tell my spouse about the session in detail and him remarking “this is the first time since this started that you’ve talked about it without crying”. That was a revelation and only the beginning of the leaps and bounds that we’ve accomplished through BLAST.

We’ve been working our way through a list, sometimes deciding ahead what we would address, and others choosing from that list at my appointment. Each time I’ve left, I’ve walked out of that office with a positive outlook and an affirmation that has helped me to keep perspective when a trigger has popped up. In addition, Jason taught me how to center and ground myself through a couple of exercises that I can do discreetly literally anywhere.

We’ve dealt with imposter syndrome as I stepped into a new role at work. We’ve dealt with caring for an aging parent who is resistant to necessary change. We’ve dealt with sibling loss- this is the first year since my brother’s death 35 years ago that I wasn’t in a funk the entire month of his passing. We even dealt with my repressed feelings regarding my estrangement with my mother, which was completely unintentional (I thought that train had left the station and was addressing a tangential issue when Jason checked in on me, realizing that there were unresolved emotions that needed to be managed).

BLAST has literally changed my life. It has improved my marriage. It has allowed me to take on a new role professionally that wouldn’t have been possible with the other, personal unresolved trauma and baggage I was carrying. And as a practitioner, Jason is amazing. His discernment in tapping into issues I thought were handled has helped me move forward and I am the healthiest I have ever been. My only regret is not seeking him out sooner.

And BLAST doesn’t wipe away those feelings- it helps me process them in a way that is healthy for me. It keeps me from hyper focusing on the situation and lets me be a freer version of myself. The best version of myself, that we can keep improving upon.

If you’re on the fence about it, I can’t recommend more fervently that you try a session."
