Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a structured therapeutic approach that helps people of all ages process and overcome distressing memories and emotions. Unlike traditional talk-therapy, ART uses guided imagery and rapid eye movements to facilitate healing. ART allows clients to confront their experiences in a safe and supportive environment, reprogramming how memories are stored in the brain.

ART helps clients keep the knowledge from their experiences while letting go of the pain. By creating distance from emotional responses, ART allows you to look at your experiences more clearly. It helps strengthen positive memories and enables you to integrate new information, leading to quicker recovery and improved well-being.

Many individuals experience significant relief in just 1 to 3 sessions. By addressing the root causes of emotional challenges, ART empowers individuals to develop healthier coping strategies and regain control over their lives. Whether dealing with trauma, anxiety, or seeking overall well- being, ART offers a transformative path to healing and resilience.

In ART rapid eye movements play a key role in the healing process. Clients follow the therapist's hand with their eyes, mimicking the movements that occur during REM sleep when our brains process emotions and memories. Trauma can become “stuck” in the brain, hindering this processing.

ART uses these eye movements to engage both sides of the brain, enabling clients to revisit difficult memories. The technique promotes relaxation and can help facilitate the exploration of past experiences, leading to faster recovery and improved emotional health.
