Effective Approach to Trauma Healing

Utilizing Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)

I offer a focused and effective approach to trauma healing in Port Alberni, BC, and online. With basic training in this eye movement therapy, I guide clients through a process that helps reframe and resolve distressing memories quickly. ART combines the power of eye movement with traditional therapeutic techniques, offering a unique and efficient pathway to recovery and emotional well-being.

Eye Movement Therapy

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a form of eye movement therapy that is designed to reduce the emotional impact of distressing memories. ART combines elements of traditional psychotherapy with the use of specific eye movements to facilitate the reprocessing of negative images and sensations associated with trauma. This therapy offers a fast and effective way to achieve relief from trauma-related symptoms.

Preparing for Accelerated Resolution Therapy

What You Need to Know About ART

Taking care of yourself is a vital part of any therapeutic journey, especially when engaging in powerful modalities like Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). Ensuring that you are emotionally and mentally prepared allows you to get the most out of the therapy process. Self-care isn’t just about relaxation; it’s about building the resilience and emotional stability needed to face deep and sometimes challenging emotions that ART may bring to the surface.

Importance of Self-Care

As with EMDR, ART therapy requires a strong foundation of self-care and emotional stability for optimal outcomes. I emphasize the importance of having prior therapy experience, particularly with modalities like EMDR or somatic body work, as well as a solid ability to manage intense emotions. Clients should have a good self-care plan, a robust support system, and be in a stable condition, not experiencing any form of crisis, to ensure the best therapeutic outcomes.

Client Readiness

ART is most effective for clients who are emotionally stable and have the capacity to handle strong emotions that may arise during the therapy process. I prefer working with clients who have a strong therapeutic foundation and are prepared to engage in this powerful healing modality.

At Heart Tree Counselling, my aim is to provide a safe and supportive environment where you can explore and benefit from Accelerated Resolution Therapy. Whether you’re new to ART or have previous experience with eye movement therapies, I am here to guide you through the process with care and expertise.
