Accelerated Resolution Therapy

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) was designed to help individuals overcome traumatic experiences and mental health issues.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy

  • Accelerated Resolution Therapy works directly to reprogram the way in which distressing memories and images are stored in the brain, so they no longer trigger strong physical and emotional reactions.

    Accelerated Resolution Therapy is a relatively new psychotherapy technique that is designed to help individuals overcome traumatic experiences and mental health issues. This evidence based form of psychotherapy utilizes back and forth eye movements to help clients address common problems such as depression, anxiety, phobias, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

    It is not the same as Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), however they both use eye movements.

  • In experiencing ART, you may find that you connect pieces of information that are already stored in your memory to help you resolve your issues. The brain, while focused on a problem and concurrently using eye movements, makes new connections with a person’s strengths and problem-solving abilities.

  • ART is very focused eye movement therapy and as such has produced quick, effective and safe treatment results in treating anxiety, depression, phobias, relationship issues, and grief to name a few. ART is effective with adults as well as children. ART combines long respected, sound treatment practices with safe and effective methods validated by current scientific research studies conducted by the University of South Florida.

  • Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) can help individuals who have experienced traumatic events or who are struggling with mental health issues such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety disorders, depression, phobias, and more.

    Many individuals may benefit from combining ART with other therapeutic approaches to address a broader range of concerns. It is best to consult with a mental health professional determine the most appropriate treatment approach for your specific situation.
