🌟 Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART): A New Path Toward Healing 🌟

At Kentucky Trauma Therapists, we know that trauma affects everyone differently — and that healing doesn’t have to take years. One of the most effective and compassionate treatments we offer is Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), a cutting-edge, evidence-based approach to trauma recovery.

So what is ART?
Accelerated Resolution Therapy is a brief, focused form of therapy that helps the brain reprocess distressing memories safely and quickly. Using guided eye movements (similar to what happens during REM sleep), ART allows the brain to “recode” how traumatic memories are stored — so they no longer trigger the same emotional pain, anxiety, or fear.

Why is ART great for children and teens?
ART doesn’t require clients to talk in detail about their trauma if they don’t want to. This makes it especially helpful for children and adolescents who struggle to put words to what they’ve been through. Sessions are often shorter than traditional talk therapy, and children can experience noticeable relief in just a few sessions. ART helps reduce nightmares, anxiety, behavioral outbursts, and emotional distress — empowering kids to feel safe and in control again.

Why is ART powerful for trauma therapy overall?
Trauma lives not only in our memories but in our bodies and emotions. ART helps release the images and sensations tied to trauma while allowing clients to keep the facts of their experience. The result is decreased distress, improved sleep, and restored emotional balance — all without reliving the pain.

We are proud to share that our very own Kirsten Smith, CSW, is trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and is now accepting new clients! Kirsten specializes in working with children, youth, and emerging adults, helping them find hope, peace, and healing after trauma.

💜 The Importance of Self-Care in Trauma Recovery 💜

When someone has lived through trauma, even simple acts of self-care can feel impossible. It’s not about being lazy or unmotivated — it’s about a nervous system that has been working overtime just to survive.

Trauma impacts both the body and the brain. Research in neurobiology and trauma psychology (including the work of Dr. Bessel van der Kolk and Dr. Stephen Porges) shows that trauma can change how the brain processes safety, rest, and connection. The body may remain in a constant state of alert, making everyday routines — eating well, sleeping, exercising, or connecting with others — feel overwhelming or unsafe.

That’s why self-care isn’t a luxury in recovery — it’s a necessity.
It’s about rebuilding safety inside your body and re-learning what it means to feel calm, cared for, and present.

Evidence-based approaches like mindfulness, grounding exercises, movement, and consistent daily routines help regulate the nervous system. These small practices send signals to the brain that say, “I am safe now.” Over time, they support healing by strengthening self-compassion, improving emotional regulation, and reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and hypervigilance.

Self-care in trauma recovery doesn’t have to look like bubble baths or vacations. It can be as simple as:
✨ Eating something nourishing.
✨ Taking slow, intentional breaths.
✨ Setting boundaries to protect your peace.
✨ Reaching out for help when you need it.

Healing takes time — and every small act of care is a step toward reclaiming your sense of safety and control.

At Kentucky Trauma Therapists, we understand that self-care is an essential part of trauma recovery. Our trauma-informed clinicians help clients rebuild safety, stability, and connection using evidence-based interventions designed for long-term healing.
