As therapists know, clients can relate to their trauma memories without going into them, in a kind of detached manner; that's the level of engagement we use when setting up the Flash Technique. According to therapist Philip Manfield, developer of the Flash Technique and author of EMDR Up Close: Subtleties of Trauma Processing, the answer is a resounding yes. Departments Is it possible to treat trauma without talking about it - or even asking clients to engage with their traumatic memory? We've seen some trauma memories process completely with the Flash Technique, whereas others become much less distressing, to the point that typical trauma processing therapies, like EMDR, can easily be tolerated.

A recent study explored the use of gamified virtual reality exposure therapy to treat spider phobia in children. The researchers developed an application that allowed children to interact with virtual spiders and make them change in positive ways through eye tracking. The study found that this approach induced more positive than negative emotions in children, and significantly reduced fear of spiders in those who were initially fearful. The findings suggest that this method could be effective in treating spider phobia in children and should be further evaluated. [Extracted from the article]

A study conducted by Radboud University Nijmegen in the Netherlands explored the relationship between fear and interpretation bias in children, specifically focusing on spider fear. The study found that children with higher levels of spider fear had a more negative interpretation bias towards spider-related materials compared to other materials. The study also revealed that self-reported spider fear, interpretation bias tasks, and size estimation predicted unique variance in avoidance behavior. The results support cognitive models of childhood anxiety and suggest that both controlled and automatic processes play a role in fear-related behavior. [Extracted from the article]

A study conducted by HSE University in Moscow, Russia, explored the use of augmented reality exposure therapy (ARET) in the treatment of spider phobia. The study compared the effectiveness of ARET, traditional in vivo exposure therapy (IVET), and a waitlist control group. Results showed that both treatment groups experienced significant improvements in behavioral approach and subjective symptom measures, which were maintained at a one-month follow-up. The researchers suggest that future research could further investigate the potential of augmented reality therapy in therapy settings with limited resources. [Extracted from the article]

A study conducted by researchers at the University of Pisa explores the fear of spiders and how perceptual features contribute to this fear. The study used augmented reality to assess participants' reactions to holographic spiders that were modified to appear either dangerous or harmless. The results showed that participants with more arachnophobia symptoms had varying preferences in perceptual features, while those with little or no fear of spiders had similar preferences. These findings provide insight into phobic preferences and could potentially improve exposure therapies. The study was published in Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience. [Extracted from the article]

The Ruhr University of Bochum is conducting a clinical trial, NCT06255821, to investigate the impact of time on the generalization of exposure-based therapy for spider fear. Participants will undergo pre-assessments and exposure to a control spider, which will be repeated during post-training assessments. They will then be assigned to follow-up assessments at one week, six weeks, or three months. The trial will use the control spider and a new spider to test for generalization of exposure effects. The study will also measure subjective fear, disgust, heart rate, self-efficacy, and fear of spiders through questionnaires. The research is based on the idea that time may influence the contextualization and retrieval of extinguished memories. This study aims to investigate the effects of exposure therapy on reducing fear of spiders. Participants with spider phobia will receive a one-session treatment using spiders as stimuli. The study will assess fear reduction immediately after the treatment and the generalization of fear reduction to untreated stimuli (a new spider). The extent of fear reduction and generalization will be compared among three groups with different follow-up lengths: one week, six weeks, and three months. The study will take place in Germany but is not yet recruiting participants. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study conducted by researchers at Ruhr-University Bochum suggests that exposure therapy for spider fear can also reduce fear of heights. The study involved 50 test subjects who underwent exposure therapy targeting spider fear, and their fear of heights was measured before and after the therapy. The results showed a significant decrease in fear of heights, indicating that exposure to spiders can have a generalized effect on other fears. The researchers believe that this discovery could lead to more universal methods of treating phobias. However, the exact mechanism behind this effect is still unclear and further studies are needed.

"To address aim 2, we compare effects of a fear-specific antisaccade training with effects of a prosaccade training as a control condition. Methods: Towards aim 1, we assess antisaccade latencies (primary outcome) and error rates (secondary outcome) in an emotional antisaccade task. "To assess inhibitory control, the antisaccade task is a well-established measure, assessing antisaccade performance via latencies and error rates. [Extracted from the article]
