The Effect of Flash Technique Via Self-Therapy App on Depression, Anxiety, and Traumatic Symptoms

Sponsor: Academy of Therapeutic Sciences, Turkey

Summary

EMDR is a psychotherapy method utilized for treating psychological traumas, with the Flash technique being one of its quickest and most effective methods. The "Self-Therapy" mobile application, accessible via Apple Store and Google Play, enables users to self-administer the Flash technique, following specific guidelines to help reduce symptoms like depression, anxiety, and stress linked to traumatic memories. Designed for adults over 18, particularly those diagnosed with mental health disorders, it is advised to be used under a psychiatrist's guidance. The application features a virtual guide, an avatar named Therapist Yağmur, who assists users through the process, including relaxation exercises and progress tracking. This allows users to pause and resume therapy as needed. Such applications represent a significant advancement in remote psychological support, potentially increasing access to psychotherapy and fostering societal acceptance of psychological health services.
