Anybody who is experiencing PTSD and is working with a counselor please inform her/him about this new procedure called ART.
It stands for Accelerated Resollution Therapy. It is amazing how much healing can be attained in just one process. The University of Florida has done extensive research on this type of therapy and has had increadible results.

I have resently been introduced to this method and I am blown away by the amount of peace I have after facing some serious issues. This is a must try!

I looked this up and if I have it right, this is a physical method of dealing with physical symptoms, like using massage. I don't understand why this would be used by a mental health specialist.

Jessica,

Since there's confusion about the process you've discovered, do you have any links to literature or research?

I love the word Accelerated!

My psychologist uses eye movement with EMDR for me.

I'm looking for more information.

This is exactly what I'm doing in my EMDR (ART)

Sounds interesting, but I think you have to have the memories before you try to replace them. And for me personally, I am finding that working through the memories and knowing what happened is the mostly helpful. And doing this with emdr has made the memories gradually not bother me so much and have less PTSD symptoms. Having suppressed these memories for so long, I don't want to bury them again or erase them. I want to work through them and heal.

Ok everybody there seems to be some misunderstanding. I am not promoting anything. I just wanted to share with everyone the amazing experience I had towards my healing to bring hope to everyone. This has nothing to do with physical symptoms.

This is where I found more information after I was exposed to it, because I was amazed how it worked. Just wanted to help...
