Trauma can wreck havoc on our central nervous system, leaving us in fight/fight/freeze or fawning for years. Trauma does not have to be something big, it can be the harsh words others have said to us, the emotional neglect from our caregivers even though our physical needs were met. It can be not feeling good enough because we were not picked first for the sports team or feeling on the outside from peers. We carry these wounds with us day to day like a heavy stone we cannot see in our back pocket, wondering why we feel so much anxiety or discomfort in seemingly normal day to day activities. Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) helps get to the root of the heaviness carried and heal that pain so the memories feel lighter, more manageable and healed once and for all 💛

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.
