ABOUT ACCELERATED RESOLUTION THERAPY®(ART)Â
“I had several Accelerated Resolutoin Therapy sessions with Tania, working on three different issues that I just couldn’t seem to get to the root of. Pretty much as soon as each session was completed, I could feel a difference. Three months later, the results of those sessions are still present. My life is smoother, calmer, more organised, and action driven. I had a real challenge with procrastination, and as I write this, I’ve just wrapped a weekend where I’ve cleared out three rooms in my house and progressed a work project that had stalled for a whole year. It was no effort. The usual will I/won’t I debates just weren’t there. It’s like the fog in my head cleared, and I could just get on with things. I find it hard to fully explain.”

UNDERSTANDING ART
Accelerated Resolution Therapy®(ART) is a brief, structured form of psychotherapy that helps people process distressing memories and symptoms by changing how those memories are stored in the brain. ART removes triggers by erasing negative images from view. ART uses guided eye movements and visualization techniques to reduce emotional and physical reactions to past experiences while allowing you to stay fully in control. Many clients report significant relief in just a few sessions. Trauma and many other issues can often be resolved in just one session.
WHAT TO EXPECT
ART sessions are typically between 90 minutes and two hours depending the pace of working that feels appropriate in the moment. It follows a step-by-step process guided by a trained clinician. You do not need to describe your trauma in detail to benefit. The therapist will guide you through visualization and gentle eye movements to help your brain reprocess distressing images or sensations safely and effectively.
HOW ART HELPS
Clinical studies have shown ART to be effective for trauma-related symptoms, anxiety, depression, grief, phobias, and more. It may be especially useful for those who have not experienced relief from other therapies, such as Cognitive Processing Therapy or Prolonged Exposure.
WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE ART
Many individuals seek ART because it offers an efficient, empowering way to resolve distress without months of therapy or repeated retelling of painful memories. For some, ART provides a bridge after other therapies have plateaued; for others, it serves as an accessible first-line intervention. Because sessions are typically few in number, ART can be a cost-effective option for individuals and healthcare systems alike.
ART represents an innovative approach that blends structured protocol with deep emotional processing. For clients and clinicians alike, its central promise is simple: to help people remember the facts around difficult memories by removing or replacing the associated negative images, and to restore calm, clarity, and resilience in the process.
