Accelerated Resolution Therapy

ART THERAPY

Exactly What is Accelerated Resolution Therapy?

By Megan Chiles MSW LISW

Imagine, if you can, what it feels like to carry a heavy burden for years and then suddenly, be able to let it go with one to five sessions with an Accelerated Resolution Therapist (ART). This type of relief may seem impossible, but it does happen consistently with the use of ART.

ART works to reprogram the way in which distressing images and memories are stored in the brain so that they no longer trigger strong physical and emotional reactions and eliminate negative images while leaving the facts intact.

ART uses visualization techniques and attention on how the body is affected by distressing images or memories, enhanced through use of rapid eye movements similar to eye movements during dreaming.

ART works for an amazingly wide range of problems. Our brains are capable of positively modifying unwanted material. Distancing from emotional responses and problems facilitates the opportunity to look at situations objectively. Positive memories are reinforced and new information can be assimilated to rapidly restore one’s functioning and health.
