Accelerated Resolution Therapy

 Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a brief, structured form of psychotherapy that helps people

process distressing memories and symptoms by changing how those memories are stored in the brain.

ART removes triggers by erasing negative images from view. ART uses guided eye movements and

visualization techniques to reduce emotional and physical reactions to past experiences while allowing

you to stay fully in control. Many clients report significant relief in just a few sessions. Trauma and many

other issues can often be resolved in just one session.

 ART works through a process called memory reconsolidation, which helps your brain

change the way painful memories are stored. During guided eye movements, you’ll ntentionally replace distressing images with new, calm, or positive images. The factual memory remains, but the emotional and physical reactions are eliminated.

 No. One of ART’s most unique features is that you do not need to describe your trauma

or personal experiences in detail if you prefer not to. You can still fully process and

resolve those memories privately, while your clinician guides you through the technique.

 ART is both brief and highly focused. Many evidence-based trauma therapies—like

EMDR, Prolonged Exposure, or Cognitive Processing Therapy—can require several

months of sessions. ART uses a structured protocol that allows meaningful change to

occur in much fewer sessions, often within one to five visits. It also emphasizes client

control and avoids prolonged reliving of trauma.
