Accelerated Resolution Therapy

Accelerated Resolution Therapy, or ART, is a novel exposure–based cognitive psychotherapy that fosters rapid recovery by reprogramming how the brain stores traumatic memories and imagery. ART works directly to reprogram the way in which distressing memories and images are stored in the brain so that they no longer trigger strong physical and emotional reactions. ART accomplishes this through the use of rapid eye movements similar to eye movements that occur during dreaming, while incorporating aspects of Gestalt, Cognitive Behavior, Guided Imagery, EMDR, brief psycho-dynamic and exposure therapies to support healing. Although techniques similar to these are used in other types of therapies, ART’s very specific and directive approach can achieve rapid recovery from symptoms and reactions that may have been present for many years. This approach provides effective relief from the strong physical and emotional reactions associated with post-traumatic stress (PTSD), trauma, anxiety, depression and performance.
