What Is Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)? A Clear Guide for Utah County
What ART Is—In Plain Language
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a brief, focused therapy that helps your brain change how disturbing memories and images feel. Using sets of guided eye movements and imagery rescripting, ART supports your nervous system in updating stuck patterns so you can move forward with greater calm.
What ART Can Help With
Single-incident or complex trauma
Anxiety and panic
Grief and loss
Phobias, distressing images, or memories
Performance blocks (public speaking, test anxiety)
What a Session Feels Like
ART is active and structured. You’ll set a target (memory, sensation, image), I’ll guide eye movements, and we’ll check your body’s distress level as it shifts. You’re awake and in control the entire time. We go at your pace, with breaks and grounding built in.
Why Clients Choose ART
Efficiency: Many clients notice meaningful relief in fewer sessions.
Clarity: You’ll have a clear plan each session.
Whole-person care: We’ll honor your values, culture, and faith as we work.
Safety & Consent
We’ll talk through risks, boundaries, and goals first. You never have to share details you don’t want to. Your comfort and dignity come first.
