Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
What is Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)?
• Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a rapid eye movement therapy that has proven to eliminate or significantly reduce emotional power of trauma including traumatic memories and post traumatic stress. It can also be effective for anxiety, phobias, panic, addictions, grief and loss, stress, depression, and pain.
ART has its roots in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, yet it is different in process and often requires only one session to be effective.
ART uses rapid side to side eye movements to help you process emotions and bodily sensations. It works through a mechanism that is similar to dreaming and the REM stage of sleep. ART's process allows for conscious and voluntary image replacement and memory reconsolidation.
One of the greatest benefits of ART is that it takes the emotional power out of traumatic memories without requiring people to speak about the trauma over and over again.
More information about how ART works can be found on the Accelerated Resolution Therapy website.
