Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) Mental health treatment with eye movement therapy. No drugs. No hypnosis. Email robin@acceleratedresolutiontherapy.com for a brochure. ART is not hypnosis.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy is a form of psychotherapy with roots in existing evidence-based therapies but shown to achieve benefits much more rapidly (usually within 1-5 sessions). Clients with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), substance abuse, sexual abuse and many other mental and physical conditions can experience remarkable benefits starting in the

first session. The client is always in control of the entire ART session, with the therapist guiding the process. Although some traumatic experiences such as r**e, combat experiences, or loss of a loved one can be very painful to think about or visualize, the therapy rapidly moves clients beyond the place where they are stuck in these experiences toward growth and positive changes.

You’ve probably heard of ART as a PTSD treatment. Yes, it truly shines there, but did you know it can transform so much more?
Whether you’re wrestling with the constant worry that hijacks your mornings, panic attacks that surprise you in the middle of the day, or phobias that limit your life, ART offers a path forward. Struggling with chronic pain or fibromyalgia? Unresolved tension and trauma often fuel those aches, and ART’s body-mind approach can release the holding patterns that keep you in pain. Battling OCD rituals or performance blocks that keep you from shining? ART erases the stuck images and self-criticism that underlie these struggles, rewiring your brain for ease and focus.
Even if you’ve tried talk therapy, meds, or mindfulness and still feel stuck—racing thoughts, sleepless nights, or an emotional shutdown that won’t relent—ART speaks directly to your nervous system. By combining guided eye-movements with memory reconsolidation, it helps you replace old fear-charged images with new, empowering ones in as few as 1–5 sessions.

If you're interested in becoming an 𝘼𝙍𝙏 trained practitioner, or if you'd like to go deeper into your 𝘼𝙍𝙏 practice, sign up for one of our trainings!

𝘼𝙍𝙏 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (𝘼𝙍𝙏) takes the best of well known therapies including Gestalt, Cognitive Behavioral, Exposure (imaginal, in-vivo), relaxation techniques, and Brief Psycho-dynamic therapy and combines with soothing bilateral eye movements. 𝘼𝙍𝙏 utilizes a re-scripting process called Voluntary Image Replacement (VIR) to assist clients in replacing negative images with positive ones.

𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗘𝗻𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴

You will learn how to use metaphors as a standalone intervention which is known as 𝘼𝙍𝙏’s Metaphorical Moment. The Metaphorical Moment can be inserted into the Basic 𝘼𝙍𝙏 protocol but can also be used as the format for an entire session. You will also learn additional advanced 𝘼𝙍𝙏 techniques.
This 𝘼𝙍𝙏 training will also spend time on problems such as OCD, Substance problems and phobias. It will offer further tips on how to approach these problems. It utilizes The Typical Day which you learned in Basic 𝘼𝙍𝙏 but it also includes the use of other 𝘼𝙍𝙏 interventions.

SĀF-T focuses on moving sensations in the body. Motivation of the participant is key to its success. This technique is designed to produce a calming effect and can be safely used with adults and children. The goal is to alleviate negative sensations associated with anxiety, physical discomfort and relief of some pain symptoms. SĀF-T is not therapy although it utilizes eye movements similar to those used during a therapy session. SĀF-T is appropriate for anyone who would benefit from improved stress management.

"It sounds too good to be true."
We hear that a lot when someone first learns about Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART).
And honestly? We get it.
Relief from symptoms like PTSD, anxiety, or depression—in just 1 to 5 sessions?
No rehashing every traumatic detail out loud?
No daily homework assignments or months of emotional burnout?
It does sound too good to be true… until you look at the science.
ART is a newer therapy on the scene, but its impact has been immediate—and undeniable.
In study after study, ART has shown rapid, measurable reductions in symptoms related to trauma, grief, depression, phobias, panic attacks, chronic pain, and more.
🔬 Let’s talk evidence:
In clinical trials led by Dr. Kevin Kip at the University of South Florida, ART some participants reduced PTSD symptoms in veterans by more than 70%—often in fewer than 4 sessions.
Depression symptoms saw a dramatic drop—from the highest measure of 87% down to just 28%. Some participants reported the complete elimination of nightmares, reduced reliance on medication, and better sleep. Others noted an end to flashbacks and a renewed sense of well-being—all without having to relive their worst memories out loud.
The Mayo Clinic is now conducting two studies funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH)—one on ART’s role in reducing trauma symptoms in cancer patients, and another focused on helping caregivers build resilience before PTSD develops.
ART is also gaining momentum in military and veteran communities, with clinicians trained across the country, from the Department of Defense to the VA system, and even within Canadian Armed Forces and Yale University programs.
So how does it work?
ART combines calming eye movements with memory reconsolidation and metaphor-based interventions to shift the way traumatic memories are stored in the brain.
Instead of simply desensitizing people to their pain, ART facilitates what founder Laney Rosenzweig calls “positization,” a process of rewriting distressing images into empowering ones that leave the facts intact, but remove the emotional charge.
This bottom-up approach works with the brain and nervous system. Not just through talking, but through neurological processing.
That’s why it can feel so different, and why the results are often so immediate.
ART isn’t magic. But for many, it feels like it.
When the body feels safe and supported, real healing happens.
If you’ve spent years in therapy and still feel stuck...
If you’ve been told your only option is exposure therapy that retraumatizes you…
If you don’t want to talk about what happened, but you want to finally feel better...
It might be time to try something different.

Most people assume you need to talk things out for depression to lift. But what if those negative beliefs are embedded in your body, your memories, and your sensations—even when you can’t trace them back to one specific event?
🔍 ART is built differently.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy isn’t just for trauma or PTSD—it’s classified as an “effective” treatment for depression & depressive symptoms by evidence-based reviews artworksnow.com+1acceleratedresolutiontherapy.com+1psychcentral.com+8is-art.org+8is-art.org+8. What makes it truly powerful?
You don’t need words or insight to heal. ART starts by calming your nervous system through gentle eye movements—grounding your body first.

You don’t have to process your entire past. Even without a defined memory, ART helps surface and shift the emotional images.

You rewrite old stories and beliefs that keep you stuck. Through guided visualization and “positization,” those heavy, negative images are transformed into new, empowering ones.
For people who’ve spent years trying to talk through their depression—shifting thoughts, journaling, reframing—ART can feel like lightning in a jar. It often works where talk therapy stalls. And it’s fast: most clients report significant relief in just 1–5 sessions pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov.
Even when you can’t pinpoint why you feel this way, ART meets your whole experience—mind, body, and emotion. If traditional talk therapy hasn’t shifted the heaviness, it might be time to try something that rewires how the brain and body store sadness and negative beliefs.

You may think you’re “just an anxious person” or “that’s just how I’m wired,” but those tensed shoulders, racing thoughts, sleepless nights, and chronic fatigue could actually be your body’s coping mechanisms—symptoms of unresolved trauma, not just “part of your personality.”
What feels like overthinking or avoidance patterns is often your nervous system stuck in a state of survival mode. Instead of shrugging it off as “that’s just me,” you can address the root: those buried images and sensations that keep replaying on autopilot.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) offers a different path. No retelling every painful detail, no endless sessions. ART uses guided eye movements to move stuck images and replace them with positive ones, freeing your body from trauma’s grip in as few as 1–5 sessions.

“Why do I still feel unsafe when there’s no danger?”
This question misses the point. It leaves you feeling invalidated. Like there is something wrong with you.

There is nothing wrong with you, you just haven't spoken the language of trauma.

Your body doesn’t just store a memory; it stores survival signals. Flashbacks aren’t merely mental snapshots—they trigger real sensations: a racing heart, tense muscles, or that knot in your gut.
Trauma lives in your nervous system: the amygdala sounds an alarm, the hippocampus recalls context, and your autonomic circuits hijack your physiology. Even when the threat is gone, those networks reset you to fight, flight, or freeze—making calm feel foreign.
Traditional talk therapy often doesn’t fully address these embodied memories. You can know you’re safe in your mind, but your body stays on high alert. True healing requires a bottom-up approach: soothing your physiology first, then updating the trauma memory itself.
That’s where Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) comes in. Using precise eye movements, ART taps the memory reconsolidation window—when a recalled memory is briefly malleable—and helps you replace fear-charged imagery with empowering new scenes. By calming the brain’s alarm center before you even revisit the trauma, ART prevents retraumatization and delivers rapid, lasting relief.
Why ART works:
Body-first safety: Calms your nervous system before memory work.

Targeted reconsolidation: Edits traumatic images and sensations during their malleable window.

Fast, lasting results: Most clients find relief in 1–5 sessions.

Resilience is your nervous system’s lifeline when healing from trauma.
When you’ve been through overwhelming experiences, your body and brain often stay stuck in survival mode. Every challenge feels like a threat. Every emotion feels too big. Every setback feels like failure.
This is what a lack of resilience can feel like:
💥 Getting overwhelmed at small triggers
💥 Avoiding anything that feels too hard
💥 Struggling to trust your own ability to cope
💥 Feeling like life is something to survive, not enjoy
But…resilience can be built.
And Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) helps you do just that.
ART helps you:
✔️ Process painful emotions in a way that feels contained
✔️ Rewire how your body responds to stress and old memories
✔️ Build self trust in your reactions, your choices, your inner strength
✔️ Shift from "I can’t handle this" to "I can do this."
And you don’t have to relive every painful detail to get there. ART works by calming the nervous system, changing the imagery behind stuck memories, and helping your mind and body experience resolution.
Real healing isn’t just about getting through the day—it’s about becoming someone who can bounce back, adapt, and move forward with confidence.
If you’re tired of feeling like you’ll never be okay, there’s another way.
Find an ART-trained therapist at www.ARTworksNow.com and take your first step toward resilience.

Feeling stuck in talk therapy isn’t failure.
It’s a sign your body needs to speak, too.

You may name every trauma event, analyze your thought patterns, even predict your triggers—and still feel that inescapable shoulder tension, sleepless nights, and gut-wrenching anxiety.
These symptoms are your survival circuits speaking a language words alone can’t translate.

Flashbacks aren’t just mental replays; they’re full-body experiences. Your amygdala alarms, your heart pounds, your muscles tense—long before your thoughts catch up. So no matter how many cognitive shifts you make, if your body stays on high alert, the emotional charge remains.

Just as you wouldn’t treat a sprained ankle by rewriting beliefs, you can’t fully resolve trauma by talking only to your prefrontal cortex. True healing honors the mind-body loop: slowing your heart rate, softening muscle tension, grounding your breath—then revisiting painful memories without overwhelm.

That’s where Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) comes in. Using guided eye movements, ART soothes your amygdala and opens a memory-reconsolidation window. In that malleable moment, you replace fear-based images with a new, empowering narrative.

Most clients notice relief in just 1–5 sessions—no years of exposure, no constant dredging of painful memories. You walk away feeling lighter in your body and clearer in your mind, as your survival wiring finally learns the past is past.

Think trauma only comes from dramatic events? Think again…
Everyday moments can leave deep imprints on your nervous system:
➡️ Micro-violations
Offhand comments and subtle slights feel small—until they pile up.
➡️ Constant Dismissal
Hearing “you’re overreacting” teaches your body to freeze rather than speak.
➡️ Emotional Abandonment
When your need for connection is ignored, you fear for your survival.
➡️ Medical Trauma
Routine tests and hospital stays can register as life-or-death in your physiology.
➡️ Perfection Demands
The pressure to be flawless lives on as chronic tension and exhaustion.
These “minor” incidents shape how you:
• Carry stress in your shoulders and gut
• Shrink from conflict or closeness
• Overthink every interaction
• Feel stuck in fight/flight/freeze mode
✨ You don’t have to let these small wounds control your life.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) can help you clear the hidden charge behind everyday traumas—without reliving every detail.
⭐️ Every experience counts. Every healing path matters. ⭐️

You’ve repeatedly poured your heart out in session after session, unpacking every thought, dissecting every feeling, and rationalizing why you feel this way. Yet you still wake up with a racing pulse, that tight knot in your chest, the same old panic swirling beneath the surface. You’re left wondering, “Why am I still not feeling any better?” It feels like you’re running on a hamster wheel of words that never reach the real pain.
It’s because your rational mind holds just a sliver of your traumatic experience. Beneath the surface, your body stores the rest—as racing heartbeats, sudden flashbacks, and muscle tension that logic alone can’t unravel. That’s why talk therapies like CBT often leave you stuck: they address what you can put into words, not what you feel in your cells.
Why it matters: Talk only reaches the tip. The real healing happens when we also address what’s hidden below—those sensations, reactions, and unspoken memories that live in your body. Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) surfaces and re-scripts these implicit memories so you can finally move forward.
