Accelerated Resolution Therapy

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a structured, evidence-based approach that helps you resolve distressing thoughts, images, and sensations by replacing them with positive ones. At Fruition Counselling, we guide you through this process in a safe, supportive space — without requiring you to relive or retell the details of your trauma.

ART works quickly. Many clients notice changes in just one to two sessions. This therapy is designed to be fast, focused, and easier on both the client and the nervous system. You remain in control at every step, while your therapist helps you shift what’s stuck and begin building emotional clarity.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy is designed to help clients who feel stuck in patterns of distress, even after trying other types of therapy. You may benefit from ART if you're experiencing:

• Recurring nightmares, flashbacks, or intrusive memories
• Feeling constantly on edge, hyper-aware, or easily triggered
• Difficulty calming your nervous system after stressful events
• Ongoing panic or anxiety that doesn’t respond to logic or relaxation
• Emotional numbing, hopelessness, or low motivation
• Guilt or shame tied to a past experience
• Avoidance of certain places, people, or situations due to past trauma
• Struggles linked to specific fears, phobias, or performance anxiety
• Internalized stress from learning or developmental challenges (e.g., dyslexia)

Many clients come to ART after feeling like other approaches helped "somewhat" but not enough. ART is a way to access and resolve what’s still holding on, without needing to explain everything or relive it.
