What is Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)?
ART is a type of therapy that utilizes back and forth eye movements, somatic experiencing and image replacement of distressing images. In other words, ART helps the brain refile the trauma or symptoms you experience in a way that causes you the least amount of discomfort and doesn’t intrude on your daily life.
How is it different than traditional talk therapy?
The best part about ART is that it doesn’t require you to actually share the details of the trauma with the therapist, so you don’t have to relive the experience to move on from it. With ART:
-you don’t experience the shame and painful feelings of telling someone what happened to you.
-you can resolve symptoms without having to repeatedly relive the details of your crisis appointment after appointment.
-you will begin to feel better in as little as 1-5 sessions.
-focuses on the healing process rather than the details of your trauma.
-you decide what details to share with the therapist.
ART is a brief evidenced based therapy that for most works in 1-5 sessions by reprogramming the way distressing images and memories are stored in the brain by using using rapid eye movements similar to eye movements that happen when you are dreaming. It is an evidence based therapy that has been around since 2008. ART is not like talk therapy because it does not require you to discuss the details of your pain. Instead ART has a direct approach guided by the therapist to eliminate the distressing images and replace them with positive images of your choice so that you no longer feel so out of control when triggered.
