Newish therapy for trauma

There are so many mental health fads that I hate recommending anything, but there is a therapy that is very effective for traumatic incidents that's relevant to people here.

I work in the field, PTSD/PTSI, and have used it myself. It's our front line treatment now, replacing all others. It actually works. You have to be a mental health practitioner to offer it which weeds out the crazies.

It's called Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). It removes all negative emotions around any incident were you were at risk of dying or witnessing others by using a method to replace them. It isn't as effective with trauma from conversations, unfortunately. CBT is just talking about the incidents and coming to see them in a different way, while ART handles the actual incident and emotions. Doing both is better than one.

For example, one of the incidents that bothered me was getting a frying pan thrown at me for asking for food when I was 16, being physically shoved out of my home, and having to wander the country roads in the middle of the night, being chased by wild animals. With ART this incident never comes up anymore, doesn't bother me. It's like the facts remain but the emotions are all gone, replaced with a new memory of going for a nature walk. The accelerated part is that any incident that gave you the same emotions can be handled in one session. I was 90% emotionally set free from my childhood in 4 sessions.

I don't want to give anyone false hope because their are no easy answers but ART should be right up there for recovery.
