Effective trauma treatment does not have to be prolonged. Sometimes the most powerful interventions are the ones that work quickly, precisely, and leave the client with resolution before they walk out the door.
In this episode of The Self Careapist Therapist, I sit down with Laney Rosenzweig, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and the developer of Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). Laney shares how her initial EMDR training led her to question the free association model and ultimately build a structured, scripted protocol that resolves trauma in as few as one to three sessions. We talk about what makes ART different from EMDR, how the eye movement protocol targets negative images and sensations directly, and why Laney believes the brain does not need prolonged exposure to heal.
Our conversation also covers the role of metaphor in ART, the training pathway for licensed clinicians, and the research currently underway at institutions like Mayo Clinic and Yale. Laney explains the concept of positization, her approach to replacing distressing imagery with client-chosen positive outcomes, and why every session is designed to close with a sense of completion.
If you are looking for a modality that is structured, efficient, and grounded in emerging research, this conversation is worth your time. Tune in to the full episode of Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART): How It Compares to EMDR with Laney Rosenzweig.
Laney Rosenzweig is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has been in the mental health field since 1989. Laney is the Founder and Developer of Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), developed in 2008. She is the CEO of Rosenzweig Center for Rapid Recovery, which trains clinicians in ART. ART has a treatment protocol that is directive, standardized, and easy to apply using eye movements. Her introduction of the Voluntary Image Replacement (VIR), which guides clients to erase negative images from view in their mind, is a unique and powerful way to quickly eliminate triggers and eradicate symptoms.

Yale University has trained clinicians and is in the process of conducting a study, as well as Mayo Clinic and the Canadian Military.
