Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)

What is Accelerated Resolution Therapy?

  Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a relatively new, intenssive evidence-based psychotherapy service that utilizes specific techniques to address psychological trauma and other mental health issues. Developed by Laney Rosenzweig in 2008, ART is known for its efficiency and effectiveness, often requiring fewer sessions compared to traditional therapies.

ART is unique because the ART Therapist guides the client to replace the negative images in the mind that cause the symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress with positive images of the client’s choosing. ART is also unique in that it combines the enormous power of eye movements to allow voluntary changes in the client’s mind with well-established therapies like Gestalt, Psychodynamic Therapy and Guided Imagery. Though the structure and protocols of ART are unique, the principles and theory behind ART are aligned with other trauma-focused therapies such as EMDR and its effectiveness for trauma recovery. ART incorporates similar core components, including memory reconsolidation and bilateral stimulation or eye movements .Within the ART protocol, the bilateral stimulation, along with other ART enhancements, make these therapies work much faster and more effectively. 

ART has been beneficial for a many issues and concerns. Whether, a specific event occurred or a few events occured, ART can help promote healing. ART can assist those who have been engaged in therapy for months, years, decades and those who may feel "stuck". Several clients prefer to use our service of ART only, while maintaining involvement in traditional psychotherapy with other mental health providers. 

On average, the benefits of ART can begin to appear within 1-5 sessions—but for complex traumas or when addressing multiple traumatic events, more sessions may be necessary. Most clients prefer to begin with ART as it is more cost-effective than weekly psychotherapy appointments. Change occurs within 1 appointment. 

All ART Intensive Sessions require a 90 minute Intake.
ART Intensive Sessions are 90 minutes.

Intake & Assessment

How has it affected day to day, relationships,and self worth.The intake allows the therapist to better understand the full impact and depth of the trauma to assist plan for future ART Sessions.

02

The Process of ART Session

Each session begins with recalling the distressing memory and focusing on the most distressing imagery associated with that event. It is not to retraumatize the person, but to assist with uncovering the effects of the event on the body.

Guided Eye Movements

While engaged in the eye movements, your therapist will also guide you to use several Image Replacement Techniques.  Instead of lingering on the distressing image or memory, you’ll be guided to “replace” it with a positive or neutral image.

How are 1/2 and Full Day Intensives different from regular sessions?

ART Intensives are structured to assist with healing faster in a therapeutic setting. This type of program is utilized instead of scheduling multiple sessions over several weeks or months. It is a more concentrated way of ART in a short time frame and getting all the benefits of ART within 1 or several days. A 90 minute intake session is required prior to start of intensive sessions. ART Intensives are like getting a year a therapy in 1  or several days. It is also more cost effective, less time commitment to weekly therapy appointments and promotes healing, faster.
