Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) was the probably the most effective tool out there for dealing with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Trauma, but as with anything, things develop, change and improve over time.
Nick Davies’ BLAST Technique® has been described as “EMDR on steroids!”, it has been created, developed and refined to work faster and more effectively with PTSD and trauma utilising the brains natural processing systems, rather than being just an ‘eye movement’ or ‘confusion technique’.
It has now been effectively used thousands of times by hundreds of trained BLAST® and Advanced BLAST Technique® Practitioners in the UK, USA, Africa, UAE, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, France, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium, Estonia, Iceland and the Czech Republic for conditions detailed below:

Here is what some other BLAST® Practitioners have to say:
Lyn Whittington
“I added BLAST® and find I use this alongside, or as the go to therapy. I love its simplicity and clear procedure. I have particularly used with obvious stuck trauma and grief. One recently, death of Grandma; another, loss of dog. Another, a programme of mental abuse by boyfriends. I find clients are amazed how the feelings dissolve as the desensitising takes place, and the SUDs come down, they are astounded they can’t find the original picture and emotion. I ask them whereabouts they think it is and most often they will say ‘Behind me!’ Noticeable is the genuine change in the face and body language.”
Christina Cherry
“I am an energy healing therapist. Have been doing that for 20 years and I already had tools to help people with stress and anxiety, but BLAST® has been like the missing ingredient. In that it really gets to the root of things and changes those beliefs and programs that were created early in life, usually in response to emotional trauma. So that, combined with other work I do, has helped people make leaps and bounds forward in their self-belief and happiness.”
What clients have said to me after their BLAST® Sessions:
“I can’t believe it was so quick”
“I didn’t think it would really work like this”
“My mother/partner/etc can really see a change in me”
Dawn Wright
“After training in BLAST®, my practice completely transformed. Suddenly I had a tool that within a few minutes, clients could experience a transformation, it was like magic, I knew about BLAST® but even my mind was blown by the results I was seeing with my clients. Sometimes people wanted RTT, but were so tightly wound that we knew they wouldn’t let go in hypnosis to do RTT. Suddenly we could take that top layer off with BLAST® and 9 times out of 10, they loved BLAST® so much that we did more BLAST® sessions and didn’t even return to RTT.
To say BLAST® transformed my practice is an understatement. I’ve done emergency sessions when people have been in their car crying (pulled over obvs) but it’s such a versatile tool and absolutely magical with its results, and the best bit, no follow up, no recording, just instant results that transforms the problem and it never returns. It honestly is like waving a magic wand!
I would honestly never consider doing what I do and not having BLAST® in my tool kit. I believe it’s genuinely the fastest, most effective, incredible technique ever created and I’m confident that it genuinely will heal the world one trauma at a time.”
What clients have said to me after their BLAST® Sessions:
“I don’t know what the **** you’ve done to me, but I feel amazing!”
“Are you a witch or something?”
“WTF?” – a very common one. 😂
“To be honest, I didn’t think it would work but wow! I feel incredible!”
“I feel so much lighter.”
“When you read back how I felt at the start, it felt like you were talking about someone else.”
“Thank you for clearing the *** in my head.”
“I’m amazed!”
“PS I paid nearly £10K to train in RTT and use BLAST® far, far more than I ever use RTT. BLAST® is that good !!!”
