Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is an evidence-based, fast-acting form of psychotherapy that can help you achieve lasting relief from trauma, anxiety, depression, and other emotional issues.
ART combines elements from traditional talk therapy with specific eye movements, allowing clients to reprocess painful memories in a way that reduces their emotional impact. Unlike other forms of therapy, ART is designed to provide results within just a few sessions, often without the need to revisit the trauma in detail.
How Does ART Work?
During an ART session, you’ll be guided by a trained therapist through a series of specific eye movements while focusing on troubling images or memories. This technique helps your brain process and store these memories differently, so they no longer trigger distress. ART does not require you to verbalize all the details of your trauma, which makes it particularly effective for clients who find it difficult to talk about their experiences.
Benefits of Accelerated Resolution Therapy
- Quick Results: Many clients experience significant improvement after just 1-5 sessions.
- Minimal Retelling of Trauma: You don’t have to go into detail about painful memories.
- Evidence-Based: ART has been researched and proven effective for PTSD, anxiety, depression, phobias, and more.
- Empowering Process: ART focuses on empowering you to create a new emotional response to the memory, reducing its hold on you.
