Accelerated Resolution Therapy

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a type of psychotherapy focused on reprocessing traumatic memories to reduce emotional distress. It uses techniques like rapid eye movements and imagery to change how these memories are stored in the brain, easing their negative impact. ART is evidence-based and can significantly reduce symptoms of trauma, anxiety, and depression in fewer sessions compared to traditional therapies. It's a short-term, client-centered approach that helps promote emotional healing and well-being.

ART stands out among therapeutic approaches because of its efficiency and its ability to produce rapid, lasting results. If you've been struggling with the emotional aftermath of a traumatic event, ART offers a way to process those memories without the need to verbalize every detail of your experience. This can be a huge relief, especially if discussing the trauma feels overwhelming or if you've avoided seeking help because the idea of reliving the event was too painful.

The power of ART lies in its use of visualization techniques and eye movements to help you reframe the images and sensations tied to traumatic memories. The therapy works by guiding you through a process where you can safely revisit these memories while maintaining a state of relaxation. This allows your mind to process the trauma differently, reducing its emotional charge and helping you to move forward without the same level of distress.

Though ART originated through helping process trauma, ART is widely used in various situations. See below - 'Who Can Benefit From ART Therapy?'

ART is an evidence-based treatment that has proven to be highly effective for a wide range of conditions, including but not limited to:

• PTSD

• Anxiety and Depression

• Phobias

• Panic Attacks

• Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

• Grief and Loss

• Substance use / Addictions

• Eating Disorders

• Sexual Abuse

• Codependency

• Performance Anxiety

• ADHD

• Relationship Issues / Infidelity

ART is designed to be a short-term therapy. Many clients experience significant improvement in just one to five sessions, depending on the specific nature and complexity of their issues. Most clients will experience a sense of relief in just one session. After the completion of ART therapy for your specific problem area, you can continue ART therapy for other areas of life, transition to general talk therapy, or choose to end therapy at that time.

1. • Rapid Results: Traditional talk therapies can take many sessions before you start to feel better. In contrast, ART is designed to bring relief quickly. Many people experience significant improvements in just 1-5 sessions, making it an efficient option for those who want to feel better sooner rather than later.

   • Non-Invasive: One of the most appealing aspects of ART is that it doesn’t require you to talk about your trauma in detail. This is especially beneficial if discussing the event feels too painful or if you’ve had negative experiences with therapy in the past. ART allows you to work through the trauma without the need for extensive verbal disclosure.

   • Comprehensive Healing: ART doesn’t just focus on the psychological aspects of trauma; it also addresses the physiological responses. This holistic approach can lead to improvements in both mental and physical health, promoting overall well-being.

   • Versatility: While ART is highly effective for treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), it’s also useful for a range of other issues. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, phobias, grief, chronic pain, addictions, or relationship problems, ART can offer relief.
