I just left rehab, had a lot of trauma, complex ptsd... this is real. My faith restored, no use for drugs... and don't want them. Good used this therapy to save my life and give me a good one for what I have left. I've never been able to breathe like this.

I've had art it's awesome. After my first session I had a endorphin rush for 3 days straight. Then after that I had less depression, anxiety, and even pain was redu ed. It took a few more sessions to perfect each problem but I'm here to say it worked for me.

2 sessions btw. Already I was highly afraid of heights. I got on a plane, watched out of the Window with complete peace and lost all fear. This is just.... the best therapy I've ever done. Good knows I've been in therapy since I was 15 or so and I'm 39 now. Healed. 2 sessions Max of an hour and a half combined

Yes, 15 sessions of prolonged exposure therapy was torture. Especially exposing myself to my homework list of things I avoided for years. With God’s help, I got through it and has helped me in some ways, but not all. I’m schedule for ART in March and I’m praying for relief from my traumas.

Alana, stick with it through the bad stuff that feels unbearable. EMDR eventually set me free after the worst unique trigger moments. We used more than just EMDR over the years. I found it is a linear process and has an end. Nobody needs to tell you when it works. No therapist sees, perceives and observes the fractions of energy that make no sense to you most of the anxious time. Conscious minds cannot work in that realm as your body is purging the past and healing itself. I am busy with my account of healing and we dealt with stuff that was over fifty years old.

Thank you. Starting ART therapy for CSA from 45 yrs ago.

Not necessarily. I trained with Shapiro in 1992/94/96 , and have develop a model that includes NLP, and some other models, some of which this lady probably uses I applaud her innovation and success!. Psychology gets stuck with a model, and doesn't continued to revise their thinking , like Prolonged Exposure Therapy. which is an awful example of "suposed evidence based therapy". Shapiro was in favour of exploration and development, and the journey that would lead to improvements. Further research on the Brain/Eye connection will no doubt take us further ahead.

Thank you for the great explanation of ART. I know many people who have benefited from this therapy

I just met my therapist today who uses this. This is an exciting journey!

I had a session of this a few days ago. I was skeptical but afterward felt a difference. It was like the anxiety was gone. I'm going back next week to work on a much more pronounced problem I have.

Absolutely Brilliant!!!

Rapid eye movement therapies work.....Iv experienced such I use occasionally as needed. Namaste!

So well put! 👏🏻

"Developed in 2008." Me: Ohhh. During The Great Recession. Also, no retraumatizing, re-exposure, or homework sounds great. Interested to learn more about applications for chronic pain, complex grief (two that she mentioned), and if or how well it works for cPTSD and neurodiverse/neurodivergent folks living in poverty. Excellent presentation.

I have used it successfully with grief and chronic pain. With grief, a client told me it was like processing in one hour all that she had processed in years of therapy. And she found resolution.

I wouldn’t use prolonged exposure on a trauma client.

EMDR therapy (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) has been around for over 30 yrs and has research behind it, ongoing. How does this differ?

Both therapies use rapid eye movements to process traumatic memories and alleviate trauma symptoms. ART is focused on changing how memories and images are stored and using the individual's strengths to create new memories and connections. ART is like EMDR on steroids. It is truly a blessing to those who experience it.

I had have complex PTSD from working in the fire department for 19 years. I have had EMDR with minimal positive results. With another therapist, she did ART. With ART, I can visit the scene in my head and start changing what I want to change in my mind. It definitely worked for me on a number of trauma incidents. I still have anxieties and panic attacks, but they are not linked to anything I have been able to identify. I am still a work in progress but, getting better. Would I recommend ART? Absolutely, it is the only type therapy that has actually helped me

apparently it's not good enough for TED, but it IS good enough for Johns Hopkins, Walter Reed Medical, the Journal of the Royal Army Medical Corps, etc etc etc? According to one NIH piece quoted from the publication "Innovations in Clinical Neuroscience": "Use of ART has expanded beyond the United States to other countries, including Italy, England, Scotland, Ireland, Korea, Kuwait, and Canada. In November 2015, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) made the determination that ART was an evidence-based treatment for trauma-related disorders, depression, and resilience."

Does this therapy work with someone with BPD?

Do you mean does it work for someone with BPD to alleviate PTSD symptoms? Or are you asking if ART can alleviate or “cure” BPD itself? I have BPD and I’ve been researching ART for multiple traumas, but there’s nothing I’ve read about ART that “heals” personality disorders.

ART and EMDR are same thing?

I'm trained in EMDR and ART. There are some similarities but the protocol is different. ART protocol is protected information so I can't share that but I can say that the structure of ART can be helpful for clients to process through trauma faster. Therapists are more directive with ART in guiding the processing, however the clients really do the internal work to heal.

lol, see all these Tedx talk warnings criticizing the people they invited to talk. And yet they post them because they are among some of the most popular talks on their channel. Funny how standards bend when making sure your channels stats stay high.

TEDx events are independently organized and the speakers are chosen by the curator/team of the local event--so they are not invited by TEDx. The local event submits the videos to TEDx to be posted. While their statement regarding ART is true (not enough research on it) there is a LOT of research on EMDR, yet they refuse to remove the flags on talks about EMDR, which I find infuriating.
