How It Works

ART helps your brain process and update how distressing memories are stored.

A typical session includes three steps:

  1. Identify the memory or issue

    We gently identify the experience, trigger, or emotional pattern that is causing distress.

  2. Eye-movement processing

    You follow calming hand movements while your brain processes the memory safely.

  3. Replace the distressing imagery

    Your brain is guided to replace distressing imagery with something more neutral or positive, reducing emotional intensity.

After processing, many people notice that the memory no longer feels overwhelming or triggering.

    • Targets images, emotions, and body sensations

    • It’s accelerated, measurable results in 1-5 sessions

    • Unique approach to psychotherapy
