Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
A way to reprogram
ART is an evidence–based novel psychotherapy that fosters rapid recovery by reprogramming how the brain stores traumatic memories and imagery. ART has roots in and includes elements of existing evidenced-based modalities. The treatment program incorporates memory visualization techniques that are enhanced by the use of horizontal eye movements, as well as memory reconsolidation, a way in which new information is incorporated into existing memories. (ART International 2020)

Keep the knowledge. Lose the pain.
Most people re-experience a traumatic event through images and sensations. The emotions and cognitions follow. ART focuses on desensitizing an individual to the images and sensations. Using Eye Movements/Bilateral Stimulation, mimicking REM sleep, an individual will be able to free themselves from the pain attached to the images and sensations.
