TREATMENT: SOLUTION FOCUSED, BRIEF & EFFECTIVE
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR):
- Reprogram the way in which distressing memories, images and/or events are stored in the brain.
- The desensitization and memory reconsolidation phases of treatment change the previously intense physical & emotional reactions that once 'hijacked' us, to a healthier sense of emotional regulation and response.
These techniques move beyond the limitations of traditional talk therapy. They are working with the wisdom of the body and a deeper level of the unconscious brain.
- While ART & EMDR are effective as stand-alone treatment techniques, they also bode well for clients working in longer term traditional therapy and feeling as though they have hit a plateau or are 'stuck'.
