13. Course Description: The Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) training program uses a combination of video clips, showing the application of the therapy model, as well as hands-on practice and interactive lectures. The power of eye movements, added to a foundation in several evidenced based therapies, combined with ART’s creative therapeutic interventions, results in the effectiveness of ART to treat a multitude of problems. During the three-day Basic ART training, participants will learn how to use ART with clients to reduce the symptoms of anxiety, sexual abuse, grief, obsessive compulsive thinking, PTSD and more. ART is an eye movement brief modality therapy that includes the use of calming eye movements to make new connections with existing information stored in the brain. This process accelerates resolution of problems as it facilitates the client in making cognitive and behavioral changes. The training may include but is not limited to lectures, videos of ART sessions, PowerPoint presentations, live demonstration, supervised practicum training manual and handouts.
    • Objectives: After Completing the three-day Basic ART Training, attendees will be able to:
      • identify and integrate a client’s presenting problem into the ART format, also known as a problem “scene.”
      • identify clients that are appropriate for ART treatment.
      • Explain the changes that occur in the client throughout the first, second and third scene visualizations.
      • understand the concept of memory reconsolidation and how it can effectively shift a client’s memory perspective.
      • determine the appropriate script to be used with each client based on their presenting problem.
      • know how to effectively utilize eye movements (speed, duration, etc.…).
      • explain why each of the steps in the ART protocol is used.
      • identify and explain what the verbiage of the ART scripts mean.
      • move sensations in a client’s body utilizing eye movements.
      • How to help stabilize a client experiencing a strong emotional response by moving the physiological sensations.
      • Recognize what each level of ART training covers/includes: Basic, Advanced, and Enhancement.
      • Appropriately end an ART session and explain to each client what might be experienced after the session.
