Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)

What Is Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)?

A Gentle, Innovative Approach to Healing

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a cutting-edge, evidence-based approach that helps individuals process trauma and other emotional challenges in a way that feels safe, effective, and empowering. It combines elements of traditional talk therapy with guided eye movements to promote rapid healing and symptom relief.

 

One of the unique strengths of ART is that it does not require you to speak in detail about your traumatic experience. This can significantly reduce emotional distress during sessions, making it an ideal option for clients who find it difficult or overwhelming to revisit painful memories verbally.

Rather than erasing or suppressing memories, ART changes how the brain stores and relates to those memories. This shift allows distressing images and emotions to become more manageable and less intrusive—without reliving the trauma.

 

Backed by growing research, ART has proven to be a brief, safe, and effective treatment for:

• PTSD and trauma-related symptoms

• Anxiety and panic

• Depression

• Relationship issues

• Grief and emotional overwhelm

 

How Does ART Work?

ART sessions follow a structured yet flexible process, starting with identifying a key issue or memory that feels “stuck.” From there, we work together to set a goal for healing and begin the session using techniques such as:

• Imagery rescripting

• Voluntary memory recall

• Guided rapid eye movements

• Therapist-led support and integration

 

Most individuals begin noticing positive shifts in just 1–5 sessions, making ART a powerful tool for creating meaningful and lasting change—quickly and gently.
