Accelerated Resolution Therapy is a technique that helps to restore mental health by changing the way distressing memories and images are stored in the brain. When we recall sad, scary, or confusing memories or situations, we experience uncomfortable emotions and feelings in our bodies. If we can change the images, we eliminate the symptoms.

During your ART session, your therapist will guide your eyes back and forth. This is called bilateral stimulation. This technique helps calm your body and assists your brain in accessing the information or memory it wants to work on. This is called opening the reconsolidation window. You are welcome to share as much or as little about the memory as you want.

Once the brain accesses the memory or information, it has an opportunity to 'update' or 'edit' the images associated with the memory. This is called voluntary image replacement.

When the memory is reprocessed in a less distressing way, the sensations in your body will typically be more comfortable. Your brain then files this memory back in storage the way you directed it. This is called memory reconsolidation.

Your amazing brain does all these steps naturally every time you recall a memory, so the process of ART is simply guiding your brain to do the work it already knows how to do!
