Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)

What is Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)?
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is an evidence-based approach that helps people overcome the lasting impact of trauma, anxiety, grief, and other challenges. ART uses a combination of relaxation techniques and guided eye movements to help the brain process distressing memories in a safe and supportive way.

Unlike traditional talk therapy, ART often works quickly—many clients notice significant improvements in just a few sessions. While the memories remain, the painful emotions and physical responses linked to them are reduced, allowing you to move forward with a greater sense of peace and control.

How ART Can Help:

  • Healing from traumatic experiences

  • Reducing anxiety, panic, or intrusive thoughts

  • Coping with grief and loss

  • Building resilience and emotional balance

  • Improving confidence and daily functioning

At Arete Psychology in Calgary, ART is offered as part of a compassionate, client-centered approach. Whether you’re dealing with trauma, stress, or ongoing difficulties, ART can provide an effective pathway to recovery.
