Progressive Counting & Flash Technique
Supportive trauma techniques that help your nervous system process difficult experiences without becoming overwhelmed.
Traditional Talk Therapy Can Bring Awareness
But lasting change often requires working at a deeper level with the patterns held in the nervous system.
Progressive Counting & Flash Technique
Progressive Counting (PC) and the Flash Technique are gentle, trauma-informed approaches that can help individuals process distressing memories while reducing emotional overwhelm. These approaches are often used with individuals experiencing PTSD, trauma, anxiety, childhood trauma, abuse, panic and other trauma-related symptoms.
A core component of Progressive Counting involves the therapist counting aloud in gradually increasing increments while clients briefly notice parts of a distressing memory in a structured and supported way. Similar to EMDR, this process helps support the brain’s natural ability to process traumatic experiences while reducing emotional intensity over time.
The Flash Technique is designed to help reduce distress connected to traumatic memories without requiring clients to directly focus on the painful experience itself. Together, we work at a pace that prioritizes emotional safety, nervous system regulation, and a greater sense of control throughout the healing process.
