It's a revolutionary treatment to help people with post-traumatic stress disorder, and it's being taught to clinicians in the Portland area this weekend.

ART, or accelerated resolution therapy, was developed in 2008, but year after year research supports its effects.

It uses bilateral stimulation, or rapid eye movement, to help the brain adjust and reprocess trauma. And the treatment can be helpful for other conditions beyond PTSD.

"It is excellent for PTSD, but is also excellent for more general concerns as well -- depression, anxiety, stress, feeling of being stuck in your life,” said Julia Clowney, an accelerated resolution therapy trainer. "So this therapy is really helpful for many different situations, including all the things that have come up since COVID has started."
