Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)

Why are bilateral so powerful in trauma healing?

Did you know that something as simple as moving your eyes back and forth can help heal trauma? In Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), bilateral eye movements are used to rewire the brain and help people overcome stress and trauma. Here’s how they work:
• Process stuck memories: Traumatic memories often get “stuck” and can’t be processed correctly. Eye movements help the brain reprocess these memories, similar to what happens during REM sleep, allowing you to move past them without the emotional weight.
• Create new, positive associations: In ART, eye movements paired with visualization help reframe bad memories, turning them into something neutral or positive. This technique helps release the emotional grip trauma can have.
• Calm and relax the brain: Eye movements create theta brain waves, which are linked to deep relaxation and creativity. These waves also help reduce stress, much like meditation.
• Build healthier emotional responses: Bilateral stimulation strengthens neural pathways, helping you respond to stress in a calmer, healthier way. Over time, this decreases reactivity and fosters long-lasting emotional healing.
ART uses a specific number of eye movements at a controlled speed, with adjustments made for client comfort. As clients get absorbed in the process, they often forget about the eye movements entirely, focusing instead on healing and processing.

Eye movements are just one part of a successful ART session. When combined with other proven ther**eutic techniques, ART can create long-lasting change in as few as 1-5 sessions.

It’s been a year since the devastating wildfires swept across Maui, Hawaii, on August 8th, 2023. Fueled by dry conditions and strong winds, these fires caused unimaginable destruction and heartbreak. Homes, businesses, and the natural beauty that defines Maui were severely damaged, leaving the island scarred both physically and emotionally.

The Impact of the Wildfires
The wildfires were like a “perfect storm,” driven by severe drought and strong winds. They spread quickly and were impossible to control, forcing many residents to evacuate with little notice, leaving behind their belongings and memories. Entire neighborhoods were reduced to ashes, and the loss of life added to the profound grief. Beyond the immediate damage, the fires left lasting challenges. Roads, power lines, and water supplies were heavily damaged, and many people lost their jobs as businesses were destroyed. The tourism industry, vital to Maui’s economy, also suffered a huge blow. On top of that, the trauma from the fires highlighted a desperate need for more mental health resources.

Training ART Therapists in Maui
In February, a team of dedicated professionals led by Dr. Wendi Waits, held the first Basic ART training on Maui. This training came at a crucial time, as the island was still recovering from the wildfires that claimed over 100 lives and ruined thousands of buildings. These fires not only destroyed the landscape but also deepened issues such as housing shortages and social divides.

Over 800,000 people die by su***de every year, making it the 10th leading cause of death worldwide. Feelings of isolation, being a burden, and hopelessness can push someone toward this tragic decision. But it’s important to remember that these intense emotions, though real, don’t reflect the truth.

Watch for these warning signs in yourself and loved ones:

•Mood swings
•Hopelessness and loss of interest
•Frequent talk of death
•Feeling like a burden
•Isolation
•Aggression
•Increased substance use

Prevention tip: Check in on your loved ones. Let them know they’re NOT a burden. Remember, these feelings aren’t anyone’s fault, and there is hope.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) can help rewire the brain, offering a way out of the grip of trauma and suicidal thoughts.In her book "Come Passion: The Soulful ART of Healing Trauma", Colleen Clark shares an inspiring story about a client who was enrolled in the Medical Assistance in Dying (MaID) program:
"It was interesting for me that the client’s history — pre-medical diagnosis and the cause of the MAiD application — had been filled with trauma — unresolved, even unrecognized, trauma. The client responded to ART. As the amygdala reset, the earlier traumas processed, and the client achieved a new clarity and began to re-evaluate life. Following ART, the client contacted me. 'The last time I was in touch with my family it was to say goodbye,' the client said. 'Today I invited them to join me to celebrate my new life.'"
There’s always hope and new perspectives. To learn more about ART or find an ART-trained therapist, visit www.ARTworksnow.com.

New Insights on Trauma, Somatic Symptoms, and Dissociation
A recent study has explored the relationship between trauma, physical (somatic) symptoms, and dissociation. The research revealed that seven common physical symptoms are strongly linked to dissociation, where the mind blocks trauma out of awareness.
This is significant because it confirms that dissociating from trauma affects not only your mental health but also your physical well-being. If you're experiencing unexplained physical symptoms and your doctor can't find a cause, unresolved trauma might be at the root of your unexplained symptoms.

What Happens When You Store Trauma in the Body?
Trauma and emotions can get trapped in your body through dissociation and other reasons, settling in your muscles, nerves, and tissues. When you go through a traumatic event, your mind and body respond together. But sometimes, they don’t fully sync up afterward. This disconnect can lead to lingering emotions, which appear as physical symptoms that don't seem to have a clear cause.

The Ripple Effect of Chronic Stress
Stress is meant to be a short-term reaction, but when it becomes chronic, it overwhelms your system. This constant flood of stress hormones spreads throughout your body, leading to symptoms like irregular heartbeats, brain fog, muscle tension, and more. Your entire physical health can suffer from unresolved, ongoing stress.
How ART Helps
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) focuses on identifying and addressing these stored emotions and physical sensations. Through eye movements, ART helps desensitize and reprocess these emotions in a way that positively reshapes how they are stored in the body. This process doesn’t just target the rational mind but offers a holistic, long-lasting impact.
As ART works on these deep-rooted emotions, you’ll not only notice changes in the traumatic images but also experience relief from the physical symptoms tied to those memories.

No Need to Stress About Finding the Perfect Memory to focus on in ART.

One of the great things about Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is that you don’t have to worry about pinpointing the exact memory to focus on. ART is designed to help you uncover and address the most relevant memories even if you’re not sure which ones they are. Here’s why:

⭐️Scene Match Technique: If there’s a specific issue you're dealing with, your therapist will use a method called "Scene Match." This technique helps identify and bring up earlier, relevant memories that are connected to your current concerns. It’s a way of letting the therapy guide you to the memories that need attention without having to guess them yourself.

⭐️Natural Healing Process: ART is organized to work with your mind’s natural healing abilities. By focusing on the way images and sensations connect, ART taps into your body’s innate wisdom to access the right memories at the right time.

⭐️Trust the Process: The process is designed to be effective even when you don’t have a clear memory in mind. Trusting the ART process means relying on its structured approach to help you uncover and work through the memories that are most impactful in the moment.

So, relax and let ART do its work. By combining the Scene Match technique with its natural healing approach, ART helps you find and resolve the underlying issues without stressing about which memory to target.

Sometimes, our brains can’t tell the difference between a life-threatening danger and a simple threat to our comfort.

This can lead to unhealthy responses, even when we're just dealing with everyday stressors.
Whether it's a tense work situation, an argument with a friend, or even a small inconvenience, our brains might react as if we're in serious danger.

Many of these issues can stem from past fearful situations where we’ve felt unsafe, creating limiting beliefs that shape our responses to similar situations in the present. Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) helps treat the root cause of these responses and rewire these beliefs.

ART uses calming techniques, like bilateral eye movements, to help the brain process stress differently. It allows the mind to separate real danger from non-threatening situations, reducing the overreactions that can lead to anxiety, anger, or other emotional distress. By addressing the core of these limiting beliefs, ART helps retrain the brain for the long term.

Stress is normal, however, if your reaction to stress is feeling unmanageable, ART can help.

When we experience trauma, adrenaline floods our system, and the memory gets locked into the amygdala, located deep near the base of the brain. Instead of being stored as a coherent story, these traumatic memories are broken into sensory fragments—flashes of images, smells, sounds, tastes, or touch.

Even though the trauma is in the past, we continue to relive it in the present whenever something triggers these fragments. For example, a familiar smell can instantly bring us back to the same panic and anxiety we felt during the original traumatic event.

Healing begins when we can create safety within our nervous system, building resources to manage these symptoms. Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is especially effective for trauma because it doesn’t rely on the rational brain to make sense of the past, like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or traditional talk therapy. Instead, ART works directly with the images and sensations where the trauma is stored, speaking to the emotional side of the brain affected by trauma, not the logical side. This is why ART often produces faster, more profound results for trauma recovery.

C-PTSD develops from prolonged or repeated trauma, often rooted in childhood. While it shares many symptoms with PTSD, C-PTSD also involves struggles with emotional regulation, memory, self-identity, and relationships. Unpacking these complex layers can take years with traditional therapies like talk therapy, which often involves revisiting painful memories over and over, sometimes leading to retraumatization.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a newer and far more effective approach to healing C-PTSD. While many mental health professionals are still relying on older, slower treatments, ART offers a faster, safer path to recovery. Almost like magic, it helps unravel the complicated web of traumatic memories without forcing you to relive the trauma. ART has the capacity to help with the anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles rooted in childhood trauma.

By reframing traumatic memories and shifting the brain’s emotional response, ART promotes better emotional regulation, enhances self-perception, and strengthens interpersonal connections. The profound healing can lead to lasting emotional well-being, greater resilience, and a more positive outlook on life.

Many are still unaware of the power of ART to transform lives. Learn more, help spread the word, and discover the possibilities it holds for healing: Find an ART-trained therapist near you by visiting www.ARTworksnow.com.

When we experience trauma, our nervous system is shocked and overwhelmed. Whether it’s a single traumatic event like a car crash or repeated events such as prolonged childhood abuse, we often feel helpless. The trauma happens too much, too soon, and too fast, preventing us from integrating and processing these memories. This leads to changes in our worldview, making us feel like the world is dangerous and we are unsafe, causing us to live in perpetual fear.
Trauma causes our brain to get stuck in danger mode, leading to significant changes in brain structures:
🧠 Amygdala: The fear center misfires constantly, blasting our body with stress hormones that harm us. This can alter the size and function of the amygdala and hippocampus.
🧠Hippocampus: Normally responsible for storing memories, the hippocampus struggles under trauma, leaving the memory “live” in our brain as if it’s still happening. It goes offline, unable to tell if we are safe or in danger, which keeps the fear alarm active.
🧠 Prefrontal Cortex (PFC): In charge of rationalizing and decision-making, the amygdala overrides the PFC during trauma. When it’s offline, we struggle to manage emotions and think clearly.
🧠 The Vagus nerve which plays a crucial role in regulating our parasympathetic nervous system, is the part of the nervous system that helps us calm down after stress. When trauma occurs, the vagus nerve can become dysregulated, making it difficult for our body to return to a state of calm, leaving us in a constant state of hypervigilance and anxiety.
ART can help calm the overactive amygdala, soothing the fear response through vagal nerve stimulation with bilateral eye movements. This process changes how traumatic memories are stored and processed in the brain, helping the hippocampus and PFC come back online. By doing so, ART allows us to reframe our perceptions and "positize" situations, helping us see the world as safer and manage our emotions more effectively.

"𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝗖𝗗 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝘆

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a challenging mental health condition that affects millions of people around the world. Traditionally, treatments like Exposure Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) have been the main therapies to manage OCD symptoms. These were the methods Dr. Mark Chamberlain had been using in his practice. However, in his groundbreaking keynote presentation titled “ART for OCD – Using Accelerated Resolution Therapy to Treat Obsessive-Compulsive Struggles,” delivered at the 2024 IS-ART Conference, Dr. Chamberlain explores Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) as a faster, more effective, and more enjoyable approach to treating OCD.

Traditional Treatments for OCD- Why They Fall Short
Exposure Therapy, ACT, and CBT are well-established treatments for OCD, but they often require significant time and effort and can be ineffective. Dr. Chamberlain, a seasoned clinician, expressed his frustration with these traditional methods, saying, “I was getting too old to treat OCD because it takes so long.” He felt these methods were like “hacking at the branches” rather than addressing the core issues. This realization led him to explore ART, a therapy that allowed him to work more directly and effectively with scenes and sensations rather than with cognitions. "

𝘼𝙍𝙏's different than other therapies.
Why?

⚡️It's Quick
First of all, 𝘼𝙍𝙏 is so effective that you'll receive results in 1-5 sessions. That means you finally see results and movement with your symptoms. Instead of managing and learning new coping mechanisms to address your symptoms, you actually feel better.

🗣️You don't need to talk about everything.
Talk and Exposure therapies require you to relive traumatic experiences in extreme detail; this is not needed in an 𝘼𝙍𝙏 session. Although your therapist knows the reason for your visit and what you wish to achieve in a session, you don't have to share the details of your traumatic memory. You don't have to worry about being retriggered. You can share as much or as little as you wish.

🤩It's all about you
𝘼𝙍𝙏 is client-centered, which means you can take it to where you want to go. Your therapist will guide you through the process, but your experience is entirely personalized to you.

➕It uses Positization
Other therapies, such as EDMR, simply desensitize the trauma memory. 𝘼𝙍𝙏 uses positive visualization so you walk away feeling better than when the traumatic memory occurred.

👤It uses the whole body.
Most therapies appeal to the "rational" "reasoning" side of your brain. This part of your brain has been shown to be thrown offline in instances of trauma. That means talking through your issues won't do the trick. You need to incorporate your whole body and soothe your nervous system to make long lasting change. 𝘼𝙍𝙏's holistic approach helps achieve this.

🎀It ties things up every session.
Even if you need more 𝘼𝙍𝙏 sessions after your first one, you will still see resolution in every session. Other therapies will "put a pin" in an issue till the next session. This is like reopening a wound and leaving it exposed. 𝘼𝙍𝙏 sessions are designed for you feel as though you've achieved closure.

⭐️It's Too Good to Be True.⭐️

If your trauma therapy only addresses the rational side of your brain, it's not speaking the language of your trauma. This could be why treatment is taking so long.

The world of psychology and trauma therapy is ever-evolving. We're always understanding more about the brain and the impact of trauma.

Here's what we know now:
⚡️The part of the brain that is affected by trauma is preverbal.
⚡️Trauma is stored in the body.
⚡️Trauma survivors are often in a near-constant state of distress and vigilance.

So, your therapy should:
🗣️Speak to parts of the body and brain that are separate from dialogue and rationalization
❤️‍🩹Put you in touch with and connect feelings in your body.
🧘Create feelings of safety and relaxation.

𝘼𝙍𝙏 does all these things quickly and effectively and without re-traumatization. So, it takes a shorter amount of time than other therapies. You can spend less time in the office retelling/remembering traumatic stories.
You won't leave sessions feeling retriggered and unsettled.
You develop feelings of safety and security, allowing you to move through your day-to-day life more easily.

Your trauma wants to be heard. Your therapy should speak its language.

We're often asked, "What happens if I can't remember my traumatic memory?" or “What memory should I focus on in my session?”

Not knowing a specific memory to work with is a very common occurrence. Often times, traumatic memories do not make it to the “cognitive level” where they can be remembered or even understood consciously. Instead trauma is stored in the body!
(That’s why talk therapy alone doesn’t often help move trauma)

The 𝘼𝙍𝙏 protocol addresses trauma that is held in the body and occurs as sensations: sights, sounds, smells, or touch.

As a therapist guides a client through the steps, memories are processed and can “make sense” of the trauma experienced.

Whatever presents itself in the session is perfect for the time and space in a person’s healing. 𝘼𝙍𝙏therapists are trained to work through this at just the right speed.

This process is what gives 𝘼𝙍𝙏 an advantage over traditional talk therapy, which addresses only conscious cognitions and memories. 𝘼𝙍𝙏 goes deeper.

"Trust the process."

C-PTSD arises from prolonged or repeated trauma, often occurring during childhood. It shares many symptoms with PTSD but also includes difficulties with emotional regulation, consciousness, self-perception, and relationships. Ongoing childhood trauma can often take years to unpack and process in talk therapy.

ART can be particularly beneficial for C-PTSD because it addresses the complex web of traumatic memories and the deep-seated emotional responses they trigger.
Trauma experienced during childhood can manifest in various ways, including anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, and difficulties in forming healthy relationships.

By helping you reframe these memories, ART can help create better emotional regulation, enhance self-perception, and improve your interpersonal relationships.

ART helps alleviate the emotional burden carried from childhood. This ther**eutic process can lead to profound changes, promoting resilience, emotional well-being, and a more positive outlook on life.

You've probably heard that trauma rewires the brain…it actually rewires all parts of you!
If you've been trying to make long-lasting changes through years of talk therapy, there's a reason why you may not be making progress.

Trauma leaves an imprint in our amygdala, the brain's fear center, making us easily triggered. The brain signals danger, setting off a cascade of physical responses.

Trauma can affect:

🧠 Thoughts & Beliefs: Your ability to think clearly and make decisions deeply influences your beliefs, like "I'm not good enough."
❤️ Emotions: Overcoming emotional turbulence, those sticky feelings such as shame, guilt, fear, anger, and pain.
💪 Physical Well-Being: Creating physical tension in muscles and joints, affecting metabolism, sleep, body temperature, and the immune system.
👥 Connections: Compromising connection with both ourselves and others, shifting from protective patterns to a focus on genuine connection.

The amygdala doesn't respond to talking.

Many of us have felt disheartened when seeking help for trauma and life's challenges. Conventional wisdom often emphasizes talking as the primary path to healing. However, True healing begins by helping the body find calm and safety. This basic step comes before involving the thinking part of the brain.
It's about restoring inner peace and laying the groundwork for lasting transformation.
𝘼𝙍𝙏 speaks to your whole person.
It cuts to the chase, and when it's this effective, it works quickly.
