What is Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)?
Using eye movements, this therapy works directly to reprogram the way distressing memories and images are stored in the brain, so that they no longer trigger strong physical and emotional reactions. "Keep the knowledge, and lose the pain".
This exposure-based psychotherapy technique has been shown to achieve results much quicker than other approaches, often within five sessions or less. In many cases, the incredible benefits of Accelerated Resolution Therapy can occur after only one session!
With Accelerated Resolution Therapy, clients are in control of each session — the counsellor is simply there to guide them. Some traumatic memories and triggering images can be upsetting to visualize. However, ART is designed to quickly carry individuals past the point of being stuck on trauma and help them reach positive changes.
I feel it is important that I have at least one preparation session with you, before we engage in an Accelerated Resolution Therapy session together. This allows me to gather background information, gain a better understanding about you and your life experiences, before diving into deep work of transforming trauma.
