- A.R.T. is a brain-based intervention that allows people to change their emotional and physical responses to stressful, painful, or traumatic situations.
- A.R.T is designed to provide immediate relief from trauma, anxiety, phobias, depression, panic attacks, PTSD, performance anxiety, intrusive thoughts, codependency, grief, anger issues, and job-related stress.
- A.R.T. is an evidence-based brief treatment, generally requiring fewer than 5 sessions. The therapy process is very straightforward and every session has a clear beginning, middle, and end.
- Using eye-movements and visual image replacement, A.R.T. changes the way distressing images and memories are stored in the brain, stopping them from triggering strong physical and emotional reactions. “Keep the knowledge, lose the pain.”
- A.R.T. can be an ancillary treatment option if you already have a regular therapist.
