How ART Works: The Core Mechanics

• Combining eye movements with imagery and metaphors
  ART simulates REM sleep-like eye movements while clients visualize distressing memories. Then through guided imagery and metaphor, you “re-script” these memories—turning painful scenes into peaceful or neutral ones. This integration directly changes how the brain stores the memory, reducing emotional and physical triggers.

• Reprogramming stored emotions
  By changing the visual and sensorial components tied to a memory, ART helps the nervous system “learn” new associations. That means anxiety, somatic symptoms, and emotional reactivity tied to past trauma can be significantly decreased. Zen And Health Services, stonestyledtherapy.com

• Efficient, targeted therapy
  ART is built to be effective in as few as 1 to 5 sessions, in contrast to more traditional therapies that may require longer timelines. April Howell Counseling, Zen And Health Services

Why Clients Can Benefit from ART

1. Rapid symptom relief
   Clients frequently report feeling reduced stress, decreased anxiety, and more calm after just one session.

2. Non-invasive storytelling
   ART doesn’t require clients to verbally recount their traumas. You simply guide imagery work—there’s no need to “relive” painful events out loud. This can feel safer for many people and promote faster healing.

3. Whole-body healing
   Emotional trauma often manifests physically. ART treats mind and body by altering both the cognitive and somatic responses at their source. Zen And Health Services, stonestyledtherapy.com, Whole Body Psychotherapy, Zen And Health Services
