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.
