Your Body Remembers What Your Mind Tries to Forget
Have you ever felt emotions physically in your body, like knots in your stomach when you're anxious or a racing heart when you're scared? This is because emotions don’t just live in your mind; they live in your body. Healing trauma requires addressing the whole person, yet most therapies focus only on the rational brain, not the parts affected by trauma.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) goes beyond talk therapy to heal where trauma truly lives—the limbic system, the brain’s emotional core:
Emotions: The limbic system controls intense emotions like fear and sadness, which can get stuck during trauma. ART helps release these emotions through eye movements and visualization.
Memory: Traumatic memories get trapped in the brain's emotional centers, making them feel fresh and raw. ART reprocesses these memories, reducing their emotional grip.
Behavior: Trauma triggers the fight, flight, or freeze response, making you react strongly to reminders of past events. ART helps calm these reactions so you can respond more calmly.
Autonomic Nervous System: ART helps regulate your body's stress responses—like heart rate and blood pressure—helping you feel more in control.
Why ART Works Faster
ART speaks directly to the limbic system where trauma lives, not just the logical brain. This approach means ART often resolves trauma in just 1 to 5 sessions, compared to the months or years that talk therapy might take.
You are a feeling, sensing person. Healing trauma is a whole-person event, and ART offers a pathway to that transformation by addressing both the mind and body.
