At AHHCC, we specialize in delivering high-quality,
personalized family therapy services that promote lasting, positive change for individuals and families alike.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a directive, scripted process with a consistent protocol that uses rapid eye movements and guided visualization to help individuals process and resolve traumatic memories and emotional distress. Developed in 2008, ART draws from Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and other therapies but focuses more on how quickly and vividly the client can rescript traumatic images.
Unlike many traditional therapies, ART focuses less on verbal processing and more on how memories are stored in the brain. It enables clients to resolve distressing images and sensations without having to relive or talk through every painful detail.
ART is different from traditional talk therapy. During a session, clients use voluntary image replacement while following specific eye movements guided by the therapist. This allows the brain to “rewrite” traumatic memories without reliving the experience in full emotional detail. ART is designed to reprogram the way distressing memories and images are stored in the brain. Most clients experience significant improvement in just 1–5 sessions.
During a session, a trained therapist guides the client through a series of eye movements—similar to those experienced during REM sleep—while the client visualizes upsetting memories.
