Healing from Trauma and Emotional Pain
You don’t have to talk about the pain to heal from it
Sometimes, talking about what happened just doesn’t seem to help. You’ve processed it, journaled it, and even talked about it in therapy - but something still feels stuck. You may find yourself:
- Triggered by painful memories, even when you're trying to move on
- Feeling like your body remembers what your mind wants to forget
- Haunted by images, beliefs, or physical symptoms that just won’t disappear
- Tired of looping through the same emotional pain over and over again
If this sounds familiar, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) might offer the relief you’ve been hoping for—without having to talk about every detail of your trauma.
What is Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)?
"Keep the Knowledge, Lose the Pain"
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is an evidence-based therapy approved by the American Psychological Association (APA) and created by Laney Rosenzweig, LMFT, in 2008. It is rooted in the idea that the brain has a natural ability to heal.
By pairing guided eye movements or tactile bilateral stimulation (right/left movements) with imagery, ART helps your brain reprocess how distressing memories are stored so that they no longer carry the same emotional charge.
You remain fully in control during the process. Your brain already knows how to do the work, as ART uses processes you already use naturally when you dream or recall a memory.
There’s no need to share the details of the memory unless you choose to. Instead, you’ll be guided through visualizing the experience while following eye movements that help the brain “recode” the emotional experience in the body - keeping the facts but releasing the pain.
Many describe ART as a kind of emotional reset. It can offer rapid relief from old memories, unhelpful patterns, or stuck feelings - leaving you with more calm, clarity, and freedom to move forward.
