ACCELERATED RESOLUTION THERAPY
ART ~ Accelerated Resolution Therapy
ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy) is an evidence based form of psychotherapy shown to achieve benefits much more rapidly (generally 1-5 sessions). ART uses bilateral eye movements to process out memories, but focuses less on content and more on replacing distressing scenes, images, and sensations.
Clients suffering from depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, substance use and many other mental and physical conditions, experience remarkable benefits starting in the first session. ART is not hypnosis and does not require medications or homework.

How ART Works
ART incorporates a combination of techniques used in many other traditional psychotherapies. ART works directly to reprogram the way in which distressing memories and images are stored in the brain so that they no longer trigger strong physical and emotional reactions. ART accomplishes this through the use of rapid eye movements similar to eye movements that occur during dreaming. Although techniques similar to these are used in other types of therapies. ART’s very specific and directive approach can achieve rapid recovery from symptoms and reactions that may have been present for many years. ART combines long respected, sound treatment practices with safe and effective methods validated by current scientific research studies conducted by the University of South Florida.
