Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)

Mental health treatment with eye movement therapy. No drugs. No hypnosis. Email robin@acceleratedresolutiontherapy.com for a brochure. ART is not hypnosis.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy is a form of psychotherapy with roots in existing evidence-based therapies but shown to achieve benefits much more rapidly (usually within 1-5 sessions). Clients with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), substance abuse, sexual abuse and many other mental and physical conditions can experience remarkable benefits starting in the first session. The client is always in control of the entire ART session, with the therapist guiding the process. Although some traumatic experiences such as r**e, combat experiences, or loss of a loved one can be very painful to think about or visualize, the therapy rapidly moves clients beyond the place where they are stuck in these experiences toward growth and positive changes.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) takes the best of well-known therapies, including Gestalt, Cognitive Behavioral, Exposure (imaginal, in-vivo), relaxation techniques, and Brief Psycho-dynamic therapy, and combines with soothing bilateral eye movements. ART utilizes a re-scripting process called Voluntary Image Replacement (VIR) to assist clients in replacing negative images with positive ones.

Participants will learn how to use advanced ART scripts and interventions to address patterns such as anticipatory fear, recurring stressors, performance-related concerns, attention and focus challenges, and layered clinical targets. Emphasis is placed on therapist judgment, timing, and responsiveness, including how to adjust ART interventions based on client presentation and session flow while remaining aligned with ART principles.

SĀF-T focuses on moving sensations in the body. Motivation of the participant is key to its success. This technique is designed to produce a calming effect and can be safely used with adults and children. The goal is to alleviate negative sensations associated with anxiety, physical discomfort and relief of some pain symptoms. SĀF-T is not therapy, although it utilizes eye movements similar to those used during a therapy session. SĀF-T is appropriate for anyone who would benefit from improved stress management.

Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) is often misunderstood. ARFID isn’t about body image or weight control. It’s often about fear, safety, and the body’s learned response to food. For many children and teens, eating can feel genuinely dangerous due to past choking incidents, gastrointestinal pain, sensory sensitivities, or medical trauma. Over time, the nervous system begins to associate unfamiliar or even previously safe foods with threat, leading to intense anxiety, avoidance, low weight, and reliance on medical interventions like feeding tubes. Families often feel stuck between wanting their child to eat and knowing that fear—not stubbornness—is driving the behavior.
Eating Disorder Awareness Week exists to bring visibility to all eating disorders, including those that don’t fit common stereotypes. It’s a time to reduce stigma, increase understanding, and highlight that every body deserves compassion, appropriate care, and access to supportive treatment.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) can help by addressing the distress stored in the nervous system. Using guided imagery and structured eye movements, ART works to calm the body’s stress response while reprocessing experiences linked to fear, such as choking or pain. Many clients report that as their body feels safer, emotions around food soften, confidence increases, and new possibilities begin to feel manageable. The facts of what happened remain but the fear no longer has to run the show. For individuals with ARFID, this can open the door to greater curiosity around food, reduced anxiety, and progress toward nourishment in a way that feels safer and more supportive.

National Eating Disorders Awareness Week
February 23 – March 1, 2026
We live in a society that profits from insecurity; healing from an eating disorder can feel very challenging. You’re surrounded by diet culture, unrealistic beauty standards, and constant messages about what your body should look like or how it should eat.
Eating disorders don’t look one way.
They can include anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder), OSFED (Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder), and other patterns that don’t always fit labels. Some involve restriction. Others involve loss of control. Many involve shame, fear, secrecy, or feeling disconnected from your body altogether.
For many people, eating disorders aren’t about food.
They’re about safety, control, emotion regulation, and coping with experiences the nervous system hasn’t fully processed.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) can help by addressing the underlying trauma, emotions, and internal images that keep these patterns in place. It addresses the root for the distress. Rather than focusing only on behavior or insight, ART works with how the brain and body store distressing experiences. Many clients report that as the emotional charge softens, their relationship with food and their body can begin to shift as well.
This week is about awareness, but also compassion.
Every body belongs.
Every eating disorder deserves to be taken seriously.
And healing doesn’t have to start with shame.

How ART Can Help:
• Supports nervous system regulation
ART uses bilateral eye movements to help calm the stress response, which may reduce emotional and physiological triggers tied to eating behaviors.
• Changes the images linked to distressing experiences
ART focuses on the images associated with painful memories. As those images change, many clients notice their beliefs and reactions begin to shift naturally.
• Addresses body image and self-worth at a deeper level
ART can help address the images and sensations connected to shame, self-criticism, or negative body perceptions, allowing for more neutrality or self-acceptance over time.
• Reduces the trauma–food connection
By reprocessing experiences linked to fear, control, or emotional pain, ART can help the body stop reacting as if past distress is still happening.
• Eases guilt and shame held in the body
Many people report feeling less weighed down by self-blame, making it easier to move forward without constant self-punishment.
As the nervous system becomes more flexible, some people find they rely less on coping patterns that once felt necessary but are no longer serving them.
Eating disorders are not your fault, your mind and body were doing its best to protect you.
These patterns developed for a reason.
And healing is possible.

Some forms of talk therapy can leave people circling the same story again and again. Clients may replay painful experiences, hoping that more detail, more analysis, or more insight will finally create change. While repetition can bring temporary relief for some, for others it can keep traumatic memories emotionally charged or even intensify distress. What’s often needed isn’t more time inside the story—but a different way of experiencing it.

One of the most powerful parts of Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is how quickly it helps clients shift perspective.
In ART, clinicians don’t have to work as hard to talk someone into a new viewpoint. The bilateral eye movements help the brain do it naturally. As old images lose their emotional charge and new, positive images take their place, clients often say things like:
“I never thought about it that way before.”
“I never looked at it that way.”
That moment where a new perspective is created is what creates movement.
From a scientific standpoint, perspective changes are tied to the brain’s ability to integrate information across regions involved in emotion, memory, and reasoning. When the nervous system is calm enough and the imagery tied to a memory shifts, the brain can reorganize how that memory is stored. This opens space for new meaning, new context, and new behavioral choices.
This is why ART can feel so different. The eye movements support the brain’s natural capacity to reconsolidate traumatic memories so they feel positive or neutral, and clients often reach new perspectives in a fraction of the time it might take in traditional talk therapy. Instead of getting stuck in the loop, they move forward with clarity.
If you’ve felt trapped telling the same story without getting the shift you need, ART may help you find a new perspective.

We’re used to thinking healing has to be hard: digging deep, reliving pain, or “muscling through.”
But your brain doesn’t only learn through effort — it learns through play.
In Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), clients use simple metaphors and imagery with calming eye movements.
This helps the brain update the emotional reactions tied to difficult memories, without overthinking or getting stuck in the story.
Why play helps:
✔️ Your nervous system responds to imagery
✔️ Metaphors speak directly to the emotional + sensory parts of the brain
✔️ Creativity lowers defensiveness and tension
✔️ The process feels lighter, safer, and more engaging
Many people say the most surprising part of ART is how approachable it feels — and how quickly their nervous system relaxes once they start working with images instead of logic.
Healing doesn’t have to be heavy. Sometimes it can feel like curiosity.
Sometimes it can even feel like play.

“I don’t know if it worked…”
followed by:
“…because I literally haven’t thought about it.”
That’s the thing about ART.
When the emotional charge around a memory changes, it often just stops taking up space.
You don’t have to keep revisiting it, managing it, or bracing for it.
When a client realizes they forgot the thing that used to overwhelm them?
That’s often the first sign their nervous system finally feels safe.
ART doesn’t erase the past — it helps clients to stop reliving the painful images over and over.

Trauma can make life feel like it hit the pause button, even when time keeps moving. This is because real shifts have happened in the brain and body. When trauma isn’t fully processed, the amygdala stays stuck on high alert, the hippocampus struggles to place the memory in the past, and the prefrontal cortex has a harder time stepping in with perspective and regulation.
The brain keeps reacting as if the threat is still happening, which can leave someone feeling frozen. This can show up as overthinking, avoiding decisions, shutting down emotionally, or going through the motions of life without feeling fully present.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) can help by changing how traumatic images are stored in the brain.

Through guided imagery and bilateral eye movements, ART can help the brain change how those images are stored. The facts remain, but the emotional charge often softens and many clients report the memory feels more positive. Life can continue to move forward, with more ease, clarity, and freedom to respond from the present rather than react to the past.

When you’ve tried everything and still feel stuck, it’s easy to wonder if things will ever change.
But moments like this remind us that real shifts can happen.
ART therapist recently shared a session with a young woman who’d carried years of fear and compulsive checking behaviors. A childhood moment, an alarm going off, a sense that something wasn’t safe had followed her into adulthood as persistent OCD patterns around locking doors and protecting her cat.
During ART, as they worked with imagery, bilateral eye movements, and calming her body, something finally softened. At the end of the session, her client simply shrugged and said:
“Nothing bad’s gonna happen to me.”
For someone whose nervous system has been bracing for danger for so long, that shift matters. It’s the feeling of fear loosening its grip.
This is why so many therapists love using Accelerated Resolution Therapy. ART doesn’t erase the story factually. It helps you to target and erase negative images and sensations that allow the brain and body respond differently, so the fear no longer drives the compulsions. Many people report meaningful change even after trying many other trauma therapies.
Even if you feel like you’ve tried everything, ART can help.

For over a year, she watched her memory decline.
She saw multiple doctors.
Completed dozens of tests.
Was told she had mild cognitive impairment.
The symptoms looked neurological.
The fear was real.
Then one physician asked a different question:
What if this isn’t brain degeneration, but unresolved trauma instead?
After addressing the trauma with Accelerated Resolution Therapy® (ART), her nervous system settled. Over the following months, her cognitive test scores shifted from impaired to average and above average.
This isn’t about curing dementia.
It’s about how trauma-related symptoms can mimic cognitive decline and what can change when the source is finally addressed.
