What is ART?

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is an evidence-based approach that helps people process distressing memories and experiences in a new way. Difficult memories can trigger painful emotions and physical reactions when they are recalled. Through guided techniques, ART aims to reduce this distress by helping the brain store these memories differently, allowing many individuals to experience lasting relief from related symptoms. 

It’s just that simple. 

During an ART session, your therapist will guide you through a series of side-to-side eye movements, a process known as bilateral stimulation. This technique can help promote relaxation and support your brain as it accesses and processes a memory or experience you wish to address. As the memory is revisited in a safe, structured way, the brain has an opportunity to reshape the distressing images and sensations associated with it.

Many people find that, after this process, the memory feels less upsetting and their physical and emotional responses become more manageable. In many ways, ART builds upon the brain’s natural ability to process and integrate life experiences, with the therapist providing guidance and support throughout the process.
