Accelerated Resolution Therapy
is a unique way of relieving pain from intrusive thoughts and feelings.
A.R.T. is gaining notoriety for healing trauma because an ART Therapist guides the client to replace negative images in the mind that cause the symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress with positive images of the client’s choosing. Done quickly, most problems are resolved within one session. Once the negative images have been replaced by positive ones, the triggers will be gone. Nightmares and repeated intrusive thoughts will stop. Reprogramming distressing images and memories, which have been stored in your brain, frees you from triggers of strong physical and emotional reactions.
Our brains are capable of positively modifying unwanted reactions.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy enhances rapid eye movements similar to those that happen while dreaming, to adjust how the body is affected by distressing images and memories.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy has similarities to EMDR, but A.R.T. is designed so that treatment will be fully completed as soon as possible. Many are freed of their problem within one session. EMDR focuses on cognitions. ART does not focus on cognitions. While EMDR is focused on cognitions and free associates during its eight-phase process, ART works to move clients to resolution, whenever possible, in one session. The final few minutes of this TedTalk with ART’s creator is a postal worker’s experience after trying Accelerated Resolution Therapy for the first time.
