A quick and easy solution for PTSD, Trauma and more
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is an exciting, quick and easy form of psychotherapy that helps people suffering from traumatic experiences such as sexual trauma, assault, or combat, PTSD and other difficult emotional and psychological problems like anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, work stress, relationship stress, depression and more. Accelerated Resolution Therapy was created to help those who have experienced trauma to recover and heal. It does this through a natural process of the brain called memory reconsolidation. With treatment, you can change the way the traumatic memory is stored and replace negative images in the brain with positive images and sensations. Accelerated Resolution Therapy uses eye movements to help your brain create Theta brainwaves which promote relaxation, creativity and memory.
The therapist’s hand moves the patient’s eyes from side to side, to help engage the visual part of the brain, and mimic REM- the dream stage of sleep during which memories are stored. Rapid Eye Movements allow the patient to reshape their memories and move them to long-term storage away from the forefront of the mind. Many patients appreciate that the entire time they are in control, guided by the therapist, and only sharing what they choose. Meanwhile the therapist will help the patient stay relaxed and calm, processing any strong emotions that may come up during visualization. The great part is that there’s no need to bring up specific details about your experiences that may be too painful to share.
Although some traumatic experiences such as assault, sexual trauma and combat can be stressful initially, the eye movements are calming and with voluntary image replacement, the negative images and sensations are replaced with positive images and sensations. Most people feel joyful, relieved and calm by the end of the session.

What is Accelerated Resolution Therapy like again?
Accelerated Resolution Therapy, or ART. Is a trauma release technique was created to help those who have experienced trauma to recover and heal. It does this through a natural process of the brain called memory reconsolidation. Imagine a negative moment that happened today, what could you have done differently?
Through ART you learn how to host that positive memory instead of allowing the negative mental mindset to reign free in your mind Reconsolidation is the act or process of consolidating something again or in a different way. We do this with your memory during treatment. Steven Covey wrote something similar this mental shift in his book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People 1989 book. But unlike the book you have someone guiding you through the entire process!

The ART session begins with the patient bringing a past traumatic experience to mind and visualize the memory from beginning to end. The therapist’s hand moves the patient’s eyes from side to side, to help engage the visual part of the brain, and mimic REM- the dream stage of sleep.
