ART
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) to Resolve Distressing Memories, Faster.
ART is one of the trauma-focused approaches we use to help people resolve distressing memories, often more quickly than they expect.
What Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) Is
A rapid way to resolve distress.
ART is a structured therapy approach that uses guided eye movements to help the brain reprocess distressing memories, often bringing relief in fewer sessions than some other trauma-focused approaches. Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) guides you through a distressing memory while using bilateral stimulation to help your body and mind settle, then works with you to reshape how that memory feels — without changing what actually happened. The approach’s own guiding idea sums it up: keep the knowledge, lose the pain.
How we use it
