What is Accelerated Resolution Therapy?
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a therapeutic approach that helps individuals process and overcome traumatic experiences through the use of rapid eye movement. It shares similarities with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), yet ART stands apart with its unique techniques that focus on quick resolution of distressing memories.
ART works directly to reprogram the way in which distressing images and memories are stored in the brain so that they no longer trigger strong physical and emotional reactions.
