Accelerated Resolution Therapy Basic (Trauma) Trainings
Why Train in ART?
ART effectively treats trauma and depression, as well as many other mental health issues, usually with far fewer sessions than other models. ART is an evidence-based model for PTSD and depression with surprisingly powerful and rapid results. Research indicates that ART resolves trauma in 1-5 sessions. It is not unusual for single incident trauma to be resolved in one session. Clients who have tried many other therapies often report that they have finally found something that works! Clinicians will be able to learn and begin using ART effectively with their clients after this three-day training. Because clients do not need to share details of what they are processing in an ART session, they do not have to recount painful details, and therapists don’t have to listen to distressing details that can lead to burnout and vicarious trauma.
