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.

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.

When Birth Doesn’t Feel Like a Miracle
For some, childbirth isn’t a glowing memory. It’s a blur of panic, pain, and fear that lingers long after the baby arrives.
Research shows up to 45% of women describe their births as traumatic—and about 1 in 20 develop full birth-related PTSD. Most never receive help or even recognition.
💬 “I felt like my tailbone was snapping with every contraction.”
💬 “Everyone said I should be grateful. But I still wake up shaking.”
💬 “My birth was ‘successful,’ but I was left broken.”
Different stories, same truth: birth trauma is real—and far more common than most realize.
What Can Go Wrong During Birth
Even when everything looks “fine” on paper, things can still go wrong:
• Loss of control or unwanted interventions
• Emergency procedures or NICU admissions
• Severe tearing or physical trauma
• Feeling unheard or dismissed
• Dissociation, panic, or terror during labor
Then After…
Your baby’s healthy. Everyone says, “You should be so happy!”
But you’re not.
You might feel:
• Scared your baby—or you—will die if anything goes wrong
• Triggered by hospitals or crying
• Numb, detached, or guilty for not feeling that “instant bond”
• Angry when people say “at least you’re both okay”
• Weighed down by postpartum depression
You’re left feeling alone and broken while your body’s still riding a tidal wave of hormones.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) can help.
ART helps the brain and body release the images, sensations, and emotions tied to childbirth trauma—without having to relive every detail. ART can also help with post-partum depression so that you and your child can properly bond and enjoy each other to the fullest from the start.
Many mothers report after just one session that they can remember their child’s birth without panic, tears, or physical distress.
“I could remember the day I gave birth without anxiety. That part of me that was still stuck finally felt happy again.”

If your childhood felt “normal,” yet you still can’t explain why you react so strongly to certain situations, you’re not alone. Many people grow up in stable homes and still carry fear, guilt, or hypervigilance that doesn’t match anything they lived through. That’s one way intergenerational trauma shows up. The body can inherit stories long before the mind understands them.
People online often describe the same experience:
• “My life was fine, but I panic like something terrible is always about to happen.”
• “I don’t know why I shut down emotionally. Nothing bad happened to me.”
• “I have the reactions of someone who lived through trauma, yet I didn’t.”
These patterns don’t mean you imagined something or missed something. They can reflect what earlier generations lived through but never had the support to process.
A grandparent’s fear becomes tension in a parent’s voice.
A parent’s constant alertness becomes anxiety in the child.
Your body responds to memories it never witnessed.
Intergenerational trauma doesn’t only pass through stories. Research shows it can shape stress responses, emotional patterns, and the way the nervous system reacts to danger, even when the danger is long gone.
The good news is that inherited patterns can change.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) helps the nervous system update how it responds to old fear triggers. Through guided imagery and calming eye movements, the body can release patterns that were never truly yours to carry. You keep the knowledge, but the fear stops repeating.
If you feel like your reactions don’t match your life, there might be a reason — and there is a way forward.

Some people hesitate to try Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) because they worry they’ll completely forget the memory.
And that’s understandable — our memories, even the painful ones, are part of who we are. They shape our story, our strength, and how we understand the world.
This comes up a lot in grief, too.
People say, “I don’t want to forget them.”
But that’s not what ART does.
ART doesn’t erase memories.
It helps your brain release the pain attached to them.
You keep the facts and the story — what changes are the sensations, emotions, and images that once brought distress.
Sometimes that shift feels empowering — you finally feel steady inside a memory that used to overwhelm you.
Sometimes it’s tender or beautiful — a softer image where fear or loss once lived.
And sometimes, it’s even funny.
As Laney Rosenzweig, founder of ART, once shared:
“In Florida one time, I helped a woman who had a fear of Palmetto bugs. To negate the insect’s ‘threat’ to her, the client turned it into Willie Nelson. Whenever you make something funny, it breaks the trauma up. Humor is the opposite of trauma.”
That’s what makes ART unique — it puts you in control of how your story feels.
You still remember what happened; it just no longer hurts to remember.
You hold onto your story — not the suffering attached to it.
Keep the knowledge. Lose the pain.

“Nervous-system regulation”. It’s everywhere right now.
Breathe. Ground. Cold plunge. Meditate.
And while those tools can help you cope, they don’t always help you change.
When you’ve lived through trauma, your nervous system isn’t just reacting — it’s protecting.
It’s constantly scanning for danger, even when you’re safe.
That’s why your “window of tolerance” can feel so small — it’s the range where your nervous system can handle stress without tipping into panic or shutting down. When trauma narrows that window, even small stressors can feel huge, and calm never seems to last.

You can use all the right tools and still find yourself right back in the spiral.
Because regulation isn’t a toolkit — it’s a state your body has to remember.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) creates a baseline of regulation by helping your brain reprocess the images and sensations that keep your body in protection mode.
Through guided eye movements and imagery, your nervous system experiences safety instead of just talking about it.
After ART, your baseline shifts.
You don’t have to panic every time something goes wrong — your system already knows how to stay steady.

Many mental health “disorders” aren’t the real problem. They’re symptoms of something deeper.
In trauma survivors, depression can sometimes feel like a chronic freeze or shutdown state.
Trauma-related anxiety can get your system stuck in hyper-alert, always scanning for danger.
Eating disorders often come from a desperate need to feel in control when the world doesn’t feel safe.
Addiction is a way to numb out feelings that feel too big to face.
These are all ways the nervous system has tried to survive trauma.
The issue is that most treatments focus on managing the symptoms instead of resolving what’s underneath them.
And talking about the feelings that come from trauma doesn’t actually move trauma through the body.
True healing has to speak the language of the nervous system, not just the logical mind.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) helps resolve these trauma symptoms at the core.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) helps your brain reprocess the painful images and sensations that keep triggering the symptoms.
Many people notice that once the root issues are resolved, the depression, anxiety, and coping behaviors that once felt impossible to manage fade.
You keep the knowledge. You lose the pain.
It’s not about managing symptoms.
It’s about resolving what created them in the first place.

If you’re feeling low energy, sad, or overwhelmed right now, you’re not alone. Seasonal Affective Disorder affects nearly 4 in 10 Americans who feel their mood drop in winter according to an APA poll.
But SAD isn’t always obvious. People on Reddit describe signs they didn’t realize were seasonal:
“Irritable because the sun goes down earlier… it’s only 5 PM and it feels like the day is over.”
“I can feel when the clouds roll in… by the next morning I’m already off, even with my therapy lamp.”
“I’m outside every day for work and my vitamin D is still low. Being outside isn’t enough.”
“Last winter was rough… sleeping in and having a dark day at home makes everything worse.”
These “small” shifts add up — especially if you’re already carrying unresolved trauma, chronic stress, grief, or emotional dysregulation.
What we learn from this:
• Winter brings real biological changes: less light, lower serotonin, more melatonin, disrupted sleep, lower vitamin D.
• Those changes drip into your stress bucket until even tiny things feel overwhelming.
• When the bucket is full, it’s not you “overreacting” — it’s your system maxing out.
There are things that help: more light, movement, routine, supplements (recommended by a provider), and supportive habits.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) can help lighten the emotional load that makes winter feel so heavy. ART may help reduce the feelings tied to SAD, depression, anxiety, and that flooded, overwhelmed state — giving your system more space so the bucket doesn’t spill as fast.
If this season feels harder than usual, you’re not failing. Your bucket is full — and support exists to help you carry less.

Childhood trauma isn’t one moment. It’s a pattern of repeated wounding.
Neglect. Emotional abuse. Domestic violence. Years of feeling unsafe or unseen. These experiences don’t just fade, they shape how we see ourselves, others, and the world.
Research on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) — a landmark study by the CDC and Kaiser Permanente — found that repeated exposure to stress, abuse, neglect, or household dysfunction during childhood can rewire a developing nervous system. Over time, these experiences can increase the risk for anxiety, depression, chronic health issues, and difficulties in trust and emotional regulation.
Learn more about ACEs from the CDC: cdc.gov/violenceprevention/aces
While PTS often stems from a single, identifiable event, childhood trauma is more like a slow accumulation — layers of relational wounds that affect identity, self-worth, and safety in relationships.
Many people spend years in therapy not because healing is impossible, but because rebuilding a sense of internal safety takes time and may never even be accomplished.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) offers a new way forward.
ART helps reframe distressing memories by reprocessing painful images with calm, empowering ones. You keep the facts, but lose the body’s alarm response.
In ART, the client doesn’t have to keep reliving every detail. You quickly retrain your brain to recognize that the danger is over — so your body can finally rest, and your present can feel safe again.

✨ “ART is like a good dream.” ✨
Have you ever had a dream that shifted the way you felt when you woke up? That’s what Accelerated Resolution Therapy can do - but the client is fully aware and chooses what happens in their dream, and is able to make it as positive as they want
ART uses gentle eye movements, along with imagery and metaphors, to help you reprocess painful memories. You keep the facts of what happened. The facts aren’t erased, but the pain, fear, or shame tied to those images can be replaced and released.
It’s like your mind finally gets to dream a better ending while still knowing the truth.
As ART’s developer Laney Rosenzweig says: “Keep the knowledge, lose the pain.”

If you’re exhausted, wired, and unable to relax — always on edge, forgetting things, snapping at small irritations — you could be in survival mode. Survival mode occurs when the nervous system becomes stuck in fight, flight, or freeze after repeated stress or trauma, keeping the body on constant alert even after the danger or stressor has passed.
Many therapy paths focus on stress-management techniques: breathing tools, journaling, mindfulness, which can absolutely help. However, they often treat symptoms, rather than the source. Sometimes it takes years to untangle what’s driving that constant alarm.
ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy) approaches survival mode in a different way.
Using eye movements and imagery rescripting, ART allows you to gently reprocess traumatic images while calming the associated sensations — helping you step out of survival mode and toward genuine internal safety.
