This Flash Technique app is a self-help tool based on a clinical protocol developed by Dr Phil Manfield. It is not a substitute for professional psychological therapy.

If you are currently experiencing severe distress, a mental health crisis, or have a diagnosed dissociative disorder, please consult a qualified therapist before using this app.

If distress increases during or after a session, please stop using it and contact your GP, therapist, or a crisis helpline.

Please note this app is not monitored and does not provide any real-time mental health support. If you are in crisis, please reach out to your GP or to a mental health service directly.

Anonymous session data (SUDS scores and visit counts) is collected to support research — no personally identifiable information is stored.

Once you tick the box and continue, your agreement is remembered in this browser, so you will not see this disclaimer on your next visit. You can still read it at any time from the link on the first page. If you clear your browser data, you will be asked to agree again.
