What can Accelerated Resolution Therapy treat?

A different type of therapy.
Rapid and lasting change.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy is a rapid, evidence-based treatment that uses bilateral stimulation to resolve distressing memories and mental health challenges. ART is for you if you want:

Rapid Results: ART often provides relief in just 1-5 sessions, with no need for years of therapy.

Minimal Talking: No need to talk through trauma or concerns in detail.

A Direct Approach: You will be guided through the session, no need to plan or worry about specific memories.

Non-Invasive: Unlike other exposure therapies, ART doesn’t revisit the same painful memories each session.

Closure Oriented: You are in full control and each session ends with a positive resolution.

This isn’t talk therapy.

During an ART Session, you will be guided through the session in a safe and supported environment. Your brain will,

Identify the Issue: I will help you focus on a troubling memory or emotion.

Alter the Impact: Using bilateral stimulation, you will be guided to reprogram the emotional impact of that memory.

Replace the Image: You’ll replace the distressing memories with positive ones.

Recall Objectively: ART helps your brain store memories as neutral facts, eliminating emotional distress.

The Mind-Body Connection: Releasing Trauma from the Body

“If you’ve ever felt butterflies in your stomach over an upcoming event, you’re well aware of the mind-body connection and how emotions can appear in different parts of the body. Our bodies can carry the weight of our memories, emotions, and trauma.”

The Talk Therapy Trap: Why it may not be working for you.

“When the brain has been through traumatic changes resulting in PTSD, anxiety, depression, or other mood disorders, top-down approaches are often not wholly effective. As trauma-altering beliefs have affected informational systems, prompting a patient to use a “rational approach” is often unsuccessful.”
