Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is an innovative mind-body therapy that empowers clients to resolve traumatic memories through a combination of relaxation techniques and memory visualization.
Dr. Diego Hernandez was the clinical director for a study on complicated grief and accelerated resolution therapy (ART) published this summer in the American Journal of Hospice & Palliative Medicine.
