"... I went from being on high alert constantly, barely able to sleep, to having meaningful relationships and seeing my goals come to fruition."
"ART helps one organize, label and manage the intense feelings of trauma, pain and guilt."
“Just a few sessions of ART have been more effective than all of my previous treatment combined!”
More than just 'therapy'.
You're feeling stuck, struggling to feel normal again. Maybe you've tried therapy before and have spent more money than you care to admit, but have only seen minimal progress. Perhaps you have had small moments of clarity, but it doesn't take long to fall back into old destructive behaviors and ineffective ways of coping. You're overwhelmed by the emotional rollercoaster and maybe you're just wanting to find joy and happiness again. You are looking for answers, for healing, for resolve. You know you need professional help, but are turned off by the cost and the amount of time it will inevitably take to undo years and years of damage.
Things are not as hopeless as they must seem. The first step toward lasting healing is through an evidence-based therapy called Accelerated Resolution Therapy, or ART. ART is effective in treating not just trauma, but common issues such as depression, anxiety, suicidality, relationship issues, and PTSD. Unlike most therapeutic modalities, ART can heal psychological pain and resolve mental anguish in as little as one session.
If you want to find peace and understanding, you don't need to look any further. There is no need to spend tens of thousands of dollars and hour after hour searching for 'the right therapist'. There is a way to get unstuck, and to do it quickly.
What is trauma?
When someone hears the word trauma, they think of stressful events such as witnessing a fatality, being a victim of child abuse, surviving sexual violence, dealing with the loss of a loved one, or even living through a natural disaster. The difference between trauma and stress is that when a stressful event ends, it's over. When one is experiencing trauma, the event has ended but the mind and body continue to relive it over and over. Trauma is your body's reaction to something that affects you to such a degree that it inhibits your ability to function day to day. Trauma is not the event that happens, but how your body responds to it. Two people could experience the very same event and have two very different responses to it.
What is ART?
Accelerated Resolution Therapy, or ART, is a cutting-edge eye movement therapy that was developed from a variety of therapeutic techniques, and the results have proved to be unlike any other treatment available. ART uses the concept of voluntary image replacement in order to "reprogram" the way the brain remembers and processes specific traumas. The brain will remember the facts but the body is no longer triggered to experience intense physical and emotional reactions. These rapid, effective, and long-lasting results are achieved by the use of bilateral stimulation, more specifically back and forth eye-movements, similar to those experienced during REM sleep. ART is effective in treating not only the negative effects of trauma, but other mental challenges such as depression, negative core beliefs about self and others, grief, relationships issues, addiction, sleep problems or even heart break.
