What is ART?
Accelerated Resolution Therapy is a technique that helps to restore mental health by changing the way distressing memories and images are stored in the brain. When we recall sad, scary, or confusing memories or situations, we experience uncomfortable emotions and feelings in our bodies. If we can change the images, we eliminate the symptoms.
It’s just that simple.
During your ART session, your therapist will guide your eyes back and forth. This is called bilateral stimulation. This technique helps calm your body and assists your brain in accessing the information or memory it wants to work on. Once the brain accesses the memory or information, it has an opportunity to 'update' or 'edit' the images associated with the memory. When the memory is reprocessed in a less distressing way, the sensations in your body will typically be more comfortable. Your brain then files this memory back in storage the way you directed it.
Your amazing brain does all these steps naturally every time you recall a memory, so the process of ART is simply guiding your brain to do the work it knows how to do!
