Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)

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.

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.

We're often asked, "What happens if I can't remember the traumatic memory?" or “What memory should I focus on in my session?”

Not knowing a specific memory to work with is a very common occurrence. Oftentimes, traumatic memories do not make it to the “cognitive level” where they can be remembered or even understood consciously. Instead, trauma is expressed through the body!
(That’s why talk therapy alone doesn’t often help move trauma)

The ART protocol addresses trauma that shows up in the body as sensations: sights, sounds, smells, or touch.
As a therapist guides a client through the steps, memories are processed and the client can start to “make sense” of the trauma experienced.
Whatever presents itself in the session is perfect for the time and space in a person’s healing.
As the distress response settles, some people find that their memories become clearer not because ART ‘creates’ new details, but because the original memory is no longer clouded by a trauma reaction.
This process is what gives ART an advantage over many traditional talk therapies, which primarily addresses conscious cognitions and memories. ART goes deeper, faster.

"Trust the process."

If you're interested in becoming an 𝘼𝙍𝙏 trained practitioner, or if you'd like to go deeper into your 𝘼𝙍𝙏 practice, sign up for one of our trainings!

𝘼𝙍𝙏 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴
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.

𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗘𝗻𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴

You will learn how to use metaphors as a standalone intervention which is known as 𝘼𝙍𝙏’s Metaphorical Moment. The Metaphorical Moment can be inserted into the Basic 𝘼𝙍𝙏 protocol but can also be used as the format for an entire session. You will also learn additional advanced 𝘼𝙍𝙏 techniques.
This 𝘼𝙍𝙏 training will also spend time on problems such as OCD, Substance problems and phobias. It will offer further tips on how to approach these problems. It utilizes The Typical Day which you learned in Basic 𝘼𝙍𝙏 but it also includes the use of other 𝘼𝙍𝙏 interventions.

𝗦𝗔𝗙-𝗧 - 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲
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.

Chronic pain isn’t only physical. For many people, the nervous system stays on high alert long after an injury, surgery, or medical procedure has healed. That ongoing activation can keep muscles tense, inflamed, and sensitive, even when nothing “new” is happening in the body.
This is why some clients notice changes in their pain after Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). ART doesn’t treat the medical condition itself, but it can change the way the nervous system responds to the memory of pain — the bracing, guarding, and tension patterns that often remain long after trauma or fear has settled into the body.

ART works in the space where memory, emotion, and physical tension intersect, helping the nervous system respond in a calmer, more regulated way.

If you’ve lived with pain long after the original injury, you’re not imagining it.
Sometimes the body holds on long after the mind has moved on — and changing the nervous system’s response can make a meaningful difference.
If you’re struggling with chronic, unresolved pain, ART may be able to help. Find an ART trained therapist near you www.ARTworksnow.com

"𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘴𝘯’𝘵 𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘢𝘳.”
We say that because it’s true. Healing often looks like two steps forward, one step back. It looks like progress you can feel one day and patterns you slip into the next. And that doesn’t erase the work you’ve done. You’ve come a long way. None of that effort disappears.
But here’s the part we rarely talk about:
Healing doesn’t have to be painful, and it doesn’t have to take forever.
People often describe healing as peeling back layers. You move through one, then another, but only when your body is ready to let go. That can feel slow. It can feel like a lifetime.
ART changes that because it works at the root.
Instead of peeling layers, you reprocess the images and sensations that have held those layers in place. When the nervous system stops reacting to the old material, you stop looping in the same patterns. You start seeing yourself in a new way, with a new identity and a different way of responding.
This is why ART creates lasting shifts in a short amount of time.
Not over years of trying another therapist, another method, another tool.
With many clients, even one session can move what felt immovable for years, because the brain is finally doing the work it couldn’t complete before.
Healing isn’t linear.
But it also isn’t meant to be endless.
When the root changes, the path forward becomes clear, steady, and yours.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗔𝗥𝗧 𝗶𝘀 𝗗𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁: 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘃𝘀. 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁

1️⃣ Healing Without Rehashing
ART uses bilateral eye movements paired with Voluntary Image Replacement (VIR) to help the brain alter images and sensations associated with distressing memories, reducing emotional weight without reliving painful details over and over.
2️⃣ Client-Centered
You’re in control. ART allows you to heal without sharing the specifics of your trauma, keeping the process empowering and safe.
3️⃣ No Re-Traumatization
Unlike traditional therapies, ART minimizes the risk of retraumatization by focusing on how you heal, not on revisiting and rehashing the memories of the past.
4️⃣ Fast Results
In just 1-5 sessions, ART helps you feel "unstuck". No long, retraumatizing homework exposure homework assignments are required. Each session brings closure.
ART’s process keeps sessions moving, creates resolution, and empowers you to move forward confidently.
