    Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) with guest Colleen Clark
    2025/06/13
    Emerging research supports Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) as an effective, evidence-based approach to trauma healing, showing significant reductions in PTSD symptoms after just a few sessions. Unlike traditional talk therapy, ART works by leveraging eye movement therapy and memory reconsolidation to change the way traumatic memories are stored in the brain—without requiring clients to repeatedly relive distressing experiences. In this episode of Ask Angela, I’m joined by Colleen Clark, an author and advocate who helped bring ART to Canada. We’ll break down how this therapy is changing lives by offering rapid relief from PTSD, anxiety, and other trauma-related symptoms. If you’re curious about innovative, science-backed trauma therapies, this episode is for you.
