ART is an evidence-based approach that uses eye movements to help gently and efficiently process difficult memories. One unique aspect of ART is that, after working through an upsetting memory, clients are guided to replace distressing images with new, positive ones of their choosing, also using eye movements. This can help create a greater sense of relief, empowerment, and emotional ease.
