We're often asked, "What happens if I can't remember the 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. Oftentimes, traumatic memories do not make it to the “cognitive level” where they can be remembered or even understood consciously. Instead, trauma is expressed through the body!
(That’s why talk therapy alone doesn’t often help move trauma)
The ART protocol addresses trauma that shows up in the body as sensations: sights, sounds, smells, or touch.
As a therapist guides a client through the steps, memories are processed and the client can start to “make sense” of the trauma experienced.
Whatever presents itself in the session is perfect for the time and space in a person’s healing.
As the distress response settles, some people find that their memories become clearer not because ART ‘creates’ new details, but because the original memory is no longer clouded by a trauma reaction.
This process is what gives ART an advantage over many traditional talk therapies, which primarily addresses conscious cognitions and memories. ART goes deeper, faster.
"Trust the process."

When people hear the word trauma, they usually think of war, abuse, or natural disasters. These are real experiences, and they are serious.
But there is another type that people rarely discuss: “little t trauma”.
Things like childhood emotional neglect, ongoing stress at work, a tough medical experience, or a loss that others expect you to move on from quickly often go unnoticed. These situations rarely make headlines and sometimes do not even feel like they "count."
The brain does not separate these experiences. It reacts to any perceived threat, and when something feels unsafe, uncontrollable, or overwhelming, the nervous system remembers it. That reaction can last long after the event has ended.
If your reactions sometimes feel stronger than the situation seems to call for it’s often your nervous system reacting to these past events.
Many people live with “little t trauma” for years without realizing it. They might call it anxiety, stress, or simply think, "this is just how I am."
ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy) can help with both the major events and the quieter, less obvious ones.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) takes the best of well known therapies including Gestalt, Cognitive Behavioral, Exposure (imaginal, in-vivo), relaxation techniques, and Brief Psycho-dynamic therapy and combines with soothing bilateral eye movements. ART utilizes a re-scripting process called Voluntary Image Replacement (VIR) to assist clients in replacing negative images with positive ones.

Participants will learn how to use advanced ART scripts and interventions to address patterns such as anticipatory fear, recurring stressors, performance-related concerns, attention and focus challenges, and layered clinical targets. Emphasis is placed on therapist judgment, timing, and responsiveness, including how to adjust ART interventions based on client presentation and session flow while remaining aligned with ART principles.

SĀF-T focuses on moving sensations in the body. Motivation of the participant is key to its success. This technique is designed to produce a calming effect and can be safely used with adults and children. The goal is to alleviate negative sensations associated with anxiety, physical discomfort and relief of some pain symptoms. SĀF-T is not therapy although it utilizes eye movements similar to those used during a therapy session. SĀF-T is appropriate for anyone who would benefit from improved stress management.
