ART Certification

These sessions are offered in-person in our DeLand location.

What is Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)?

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a unique approach to traditional psychotherapy. An ART therapist will guide the post-traumatic stress/trauma client through the replacement of negative images to a more positive image(s) replacement of the client’s choosing. Voluntary image replacement helps eliminate emotional and physical responses associated with painful memories. One of the unique aspects of ART is that a trauma client does not have to give specific details about their trauma(s) in order for ART to be effective. ART follows a procedural yet creative process that allows relief for the client’s trauma symptoms typically in less sessions than traditional talk therapy.

How does Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) work?

ART works directly to reprogram the way in which distressing memories and images are stored in the client’s brain so that they no longer trigger strong emotional and physical reactions. This technique incorporates a combination of interventions used in many other traditional psychotherapies. This is accomplished through the use of rapid eye movements similar to eye movements that occur naturally during the REM sleep cycle.
