Trauma Counselling - Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)

Aaron is trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). This therapy is an evidence-based treatment for trauma that uses a combination of eye movements and voluntary memory/image replacement. It changes how memories are stored in the brain.

In as few as three sessions, clients can expect to retain their factual memories of the targeted trauma experience with a significant reduction in the accompanying unpleasant emotions. ART is especially well suited for individuals who have experienced accidents or assaults and those struggling with debilitating phobias or performance anxiety regarding specific situations.

You may find ART to be helpful if you have witnessed a loved one in a traumatic situation, such as an overdose or suicide attempt. It can also be helpful if you find yourself reacting in an unhelpful manner whenever your loved ones do something that reminds you of a traumatic incident.

ART can help you reduce your own trauma response to such events. This way, you’ll be able to calmly support your loved ones in a more effective manner.
