Accelerated Resolution Therapy
Geelong & Telehealth Australia
If you have trauma, distress, ongoing anxiety, depression, phobias chronic pain, or struggle to get over things from your past, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) might be suitable for you. Accelerated Resolution Therapy is known as the fastest methodology for clearing anxiety and trauma (PTSD and CPTSD) and is like a super-charged adaptation of EMDR for those who are familiar with it. Like EMDR, ART therapists use Eye-Movements to process and clear the pain associated with trauma or anxiety. It doesn’t remove the facts of the event, but removes the distress you feel about it. Despite the name, ART has nothing to do with creative arts.
Appointment 1 – In our first appointment, I will do a pre-screening and prepare you for the processing session. In this session we do not process any trauma, nor do I need to you to go into details of specific events. Please note, if you have a diagnosed dissociation disorder, please email me first to see if ART is suitable for you. If your trauma is related to a sexual assault, you might want to read more here.
Processing sessions – Sessions take 80 minutes. I recommend you clear your schedule for a few hours afterwards as ART can fatigue your brain and body. You don’t have to go into detail of your trauma in these sessions. In fact it is possible to do ART without discussing your trauma at all.
Pricing – The intake session is $190. Processing sessions are $260. Processing trauma usually occurs in 1-3 session, which is much quicker when compared to traditional talk therapy which often requires 12-16 sessions to reduce (not clear) trauma.
Do I book this? Please book an ‘Individual counselling/sexology appointment’ to get started. If you want to secure a time for your future processing session, you may also book an ‘Accelerated Resolution Trauma Therapy’ appointment, or we can book this in your first session. You are also welcome to email me the times to book if payment at the time of booking is not possible.
