Accelerated Resolution Therapy
"Keep the knowledge, lose the pain"
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is an evidence-based approach that helps you resolve trauma, anxiety, and emotional distress. ART goes beyond simply discussing the problem. It uses a powerful combination of guided eye movements and imagery to help your brain reprocess difficult memories in a way that feels empowering.
​
At the heart of ART is image rescripting—a process where you replace distressing images or sensations tied to a memory with more positive or peaceful ones. Whether it’s changing how a memory ends or visualizing it fading away, you stay in control and decide how you want to reshape the experience. ART doesn’t erase the memory—it changes how your body and mind respond to it.
ART is highly effective in helping people overcome a wide range of challenges, including grief and loss, PTSD, anxiety, and depression. Whether you're healing from trauma or navigating emotional struggles, ART offers fast, lasting relief—so you can move forward with greater clarity and peace.
One aspect of ART I absolutely love is that, unlike some trauma therapies that require clients to relive the details of their experiences, ART allows you to process painful memories without having to talk about them in depth. You choose what, and how much, you share.

Eight Key Aspects of Accelerated Resolution Therapy
​
1. Eye Movement Desensitization
ART uses guided side-to-side eye movements, which help calm the nervous system and allow the brain to reprocess distressing memories in a more manageable way.
2. Voluntary Image Replacement
You get to change how a memory looks or feels. You can alter it—like changing the outcome, softening it, or visualizing it fading—so it no longer causes emotional pain.
3. Rapid Results
Most people experience noticeable relief in just 1 to 5 sessions. ART is designed to work quickly, making it ideal for those seeking faster emotional healing.
4. Non-Invasive
You don’t have to talk in detail about your trauma or distressing memories unless you want to. ART focuses on internal processing rather than verbal storytelling.
5. Trauma-Focused but Versatile
ART is highly effective for trauma and PTSD, but it’s also used for anxiety, depression, grief, phobias, relationship issues, and even chronic pain.
6. Mind-Body Connection
ART helps release stuck emotions and physical responses stored in the body, often leading to a greater sense of calm and well-being after a session.
7. Client Empowerment
You’re in the driver’s seat. ART emphasizes choice and control, allowing you to decide how the memory is reshaped and how much to share.
8. Evidence-Based
Backed by clinical research and real-world success, ART is recognized as an effective and safe therapy method by mental health professionals and organizations.
