C-PTSD develops from prolonged or repeated trauma, often rooted in childhood. While it shares many symptoms with PTSD, C-PTSD also involves struggles with emotional regulation, memory, self-identity, and relationships. Unpacking these complex layers can take years with traditional therapies like talk therapy, which often involves revisiting painful memories over and over, sometimes leading to retraumatization.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a newer and far more effective approach to healing C-PTSD. While many mental health professionals are still relying on older, slower treatments, ART offers a faster, safer path to recovery. Almost like magic, it helps unravel the complicated web of traumatic memories without forcing you to relive the trauma. ART has the capacity to help with the anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles rooted in childhood trauma.

By reframing traumatic memories and shifting the brain’s emotional response, ART promotes better emotional regulation, enhances self-perception, and strengthens interpersonal connections. The profound healing can lead to lasting emotional well-being, greater resilience, and a more positive outlook on life.

Many are still unaware of the power of ART to transform lives. Learn more, help spread the word, and discover the possibilities it holds for healing: Find an ART-trained therapist near you by visiting www.ARTworksnow.com.

When kids are whining about bedtime or teens are wanting to stay online for just a few more minutes, it’s easy to give in, especially in the evening when you’re already exhausted. ⁣

But sticking to a good bedtime routine is one of the best ways to maintain sleep hygiene and one of the best things you can do for your child and her emotional and behavioral development.⁣

Consider the studies cited in this report:⁣
