BLAST- Accelerated EMDR

The BLAST Technique, developed by Nick Davies, stands for “Bi-lateral Analysis and Stimulation of the Trauma.” It combines elements of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and other therapeutic approaches to address trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The technique focuses on bilateral stimulation, which involves stimulating both sides of the body to engage the brain’s natural processing abilities.

During a BLAST session, the practitioner guides the client through a structured process that includes identifying the traumatic event, exploring associated emotions and beliefs, and facilitating bilateral stimulation. This stimulation can be done through various means, such as eye movements, tapping, or auditory cues.

The BLAST Technique aims to activate the brain’s natural healing mechanisms and facilitate the processing and integration of traumatic memories and experiences. By engaging in bilateral stimulation while focusing on the trauma, it is believed that the brain can reprocess the traumatic memories in a way that reduces their emotional intensity and diminishes associated distress and symptoms.

The technique is typically delivered over a series of sessions, allowing the client to gradually work through the traumatic material and experience relief from distressing symptoms. BLAST is often used by therapists and practitioners who have training and experience in trauma-focused therapies.

Danny was super polite, he explained things well, it was very nice to get to speak with him before he started just to make everyone more comfortable. Just by pure kindness and knowledge alone, I wish I could give Danny 10 stars on top of these 5.

Two very good PLR/LBL sessions with Danny. He's an excellent hypnotist, and very easy to talk to about the various issues I wanted to explore. Very pleased with the outcome.

Danny offers a fantastic service and is simply brilliant at what he does. Whilst I did not receive the hypnotherapy myself (I bought the sessions as a gift for someone special) I have seen a huge improvement in my boyfriends abilities and self-confidence! Danny was great at explaining what he was able to offer and my boyfriend enjoyed every session with him. Absolutely worth EVERY penny!

From the moment I met Danny, I knew he was genuine, caring and passionate about helping me achieve what I wanted out of my sessions with him. I was sceptical if hypnosis was the way forward, but Danny soon rid me of any doubts; I was so relaxed and at ease after the first session I wanted to come back for more just for the stress relief! However, Danny kept on course, with each session bringing me closer to my goal. I now just check in every so often for the feeling of pure contentment a de-stress/relaxation session offers, but he's given me everything I need to move forward with my life and I really can't thank him enough. Whatever your mental blockers are, definitely give Danny a call and he will let you know if he can help. If he says he can, he absolutely can, and it won't be long before the world becomes yours to enjoy again.

I received an invitation to join Danny's 2-hour hypnosis workshop where he skillfully guided us through a whole mind-body-spirit experience to reflect, release and transform old, outdated habits and behaviours. After the guided inner-self meditation, Danny explained some of the mechanics of hypnosis and its integral role in change-making. Danny's natural ability to make you comfortable, explain what hypnosis is and what is not, is so reassuring, you learn to relax and let go of expectations to allow change and transformation to occur on a deeper, inner level that your everyday conscious mind is not even aware of. An excellent workshop which has greatly stirred me. Thank  you Danny xx

Having never tried hypnosis before I was a little hesitant but also intrigued to see how and if hypnosis would work. I opted for a group online session and was very impressed that we were talked through how it  would be conducted and exactly what to expect and feel. It was very relaxing  and too early to categorically say that it works but I would have no hesitation in signing up for a further session with Danny.
