Accelerated Resolution Therapy

Accelerated Resolution Therapy, or ART, helps to reprogram how traumatic or troubling memories are stored in the brain in order to no longer trigger physical and emotional reactions. This form of psychotherapy has been shown to improve the wellbeing of clients within one to five sessions with a trained ART therapist. Anxiety, depression, panic attacks, OCD, PTSD, substance abuse, family issues, sexual abuse, codependency, dyslexia, and phobias are just a few of the mental health probelms and traumas this psychotherapy has been proven to be useful in. 

The job of an ART therapist is to guide their client through the process so they can move beyond the painful experiences they are stuck in. This allows clients to grow and see positive changes in their lives. ART uses an eye movement technique called voluntary memory/image replacement to change how negative images, traumas, or mental health problems are stored in the brain. This results in traumas, images, and mental health problems no longer being able to trigger strong emotional and/or physical reactions. The best part about this psychotherapy is that clients do not have to talk about their difficulties with their therapist in order to properly recover. 

The core techniques of ART utilize evidence-based PTSD treatment to incorporate a combination of different techniques in specific and useful ways. An ART therapist is able to use this form of psychotherapy with other therapies and medical treatments as well as allowing the client to be in control. In addition, medication is not required for this therapy, however if a client is already on medication ART can still be used. Clients should not worry about having to intentionally recall traumatic memories between sessions and should always know they are in control of what information they would like to share.
