Accelerated Resolution Therapy

Accelerated Resolution Therapy

What is ART?

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a therapeutic approach that is used to treat the negative emotions and bodily sensations that are associated with pain and trauma. Like EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing), ART uses the power of eye movements to help shift traumatic memories towards more positive associations and images. ART incorporates aspects of EMDR, Gestalt/IFS therapies and CBT therapy into it’s structure and helps you move through your traumatic memories more quickly and efficiently.

You can get a deeper understanding of how ART works by watching this video from the founder of Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Laney Rosenzweig.

 

What do you need to know about ART?

ART was developed through the practice and experiences of it’s creator, Laney Rosenzsweig. ART does not require you to talk about your traumatic experiences and uses eye movements to support the brain or the mind’s eye to move towards healing. Relief can come in just one session of ART therapy although may also reveal other problems that can continue to be treated with ART therapy.


It is preferable that ART is done in person. Inquire directly if virtual services are required.

What is ART used to treat?

ART can be used to treat PTSD, grief, depression, eating disorders and anxiety symptoms. It is often used to provide prompt intervention after a traumatic event involving trauma-exposed professionals.
