Keep the Facts, Let Go of The Pain
Accelerated Resolution Therapy
Start Being the Mom You’re Meant to Be (in 1-5 sessions) Without Your Past Getting in the Way
ADJUNCT | INTENSIVES | SHORT TERM TRAUMA THERAPY
Motherhood hasn’t been the blissful journey you thought it would be.
Some of it is just the stress and weight of trying to raise a human being and keep them alive. It’s so much rougher than you could ever explain to someone who hasn’t experienced it.
But you suspect that it could be easier.
What if trauma is getting in the way of being a “good” mom
It’s possible that some of what makes this difficult is the fallout from negative experiences you had in the past.
Those negative or maybe traumatic experiences might be;
how you were raised
your relationship with your parents
negative childhood/teen experiences
medical procedures
past relationship issues
school bullying
Abuse of any kind
single incident traumas (car accidents, natural disasters)
Even watching your child or someone else experience a “trauma.”
It doesn’t matter if it was abuse or just negative experiences that have followed you.
You find yourself having flashes of memories or other sensory experiences around things like;
The amount of care you give your child (because you never received that level of care)
Watching your child have normal childhood experiences (you have negative memories associated with them)
Traumatic memories you experienced at the same age your child is now
Being a mom has brought up all the places in your life and childhood where adults failed you, and it’s getting in the way of your staying present for your child.
You know all of the skills.
You should be able to be that mom you dreamt you would be.
You’ve processed all of this in talk therapy for years. But you still catch yourself yelling or shutting down over little things.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy quickly resolves past memories so you can be in the moment, not the past
You want to be able to be the parent you know you are meant to be. The fear of looking back and having regrets or seeing that you passed down your trauma is intense.
You know that parenting will always be hard, but you still want to know you’re doing the best you can.
You want to feel calm and present. To be able to really relax and enjoy the good parts of being a mom. You want to allow your child to be who they are without having flashes of yourself when you were their age.
You want to feel like your past doesn’t rule your world, and who you are as a mom.
You want all of this without talking about it with a therapist for years, because time is passing, and things need to get better now, not 2 years from now.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy Helps Resolve Traumatic Memories in 1-5 sessions
Accelerated Resolution Therapy, also called ART, allows you to keep the memories but greatly lowers or gets rid of the emotional responses to incidents that may have happened in your past.
Those incidents that have haunted you. Those scenes that replay themselves in your head over and over.
After ART sessions, most of my clients look back and realize that they still remember the traumatic or negative events. But they’re just like their other memories. They no longer stick out as horrible things that happened to them, with all of the associated negative feelings and dysregulation attached.
Most clients report that within a couple of sessions, they respond to what was previously a trigger as if it’s no longer a big deal. They no longer feel overwhelmed or flooded by the body activation that happens when they’re remembering a negative experience.
This impacts their ability to parent. They can be more present with their child. They lose their temper less. They feel like they’re more in control and better able to utilize the parenting skills they’ve learned in therapy.
Because often when we struggle as a parent, it isn’t because we don’t know the skills, it’s because our past is getting in the way
Danielle Peters, LMFT
Master ART Practitioner
I’ve seen the changes that ART can create in a person’s life. As a master ART practitioner, I am able to help you engage with this treatment in a way that others may not. If you’ve tried other types of treatment and walked away without results, I’ve seen the changes that people receive with ART, and I would love to guide you through this treatment process.
The issues I use ART to treat are;
Difficulty being present in your life
Memories and flashes of past traumatic events
People pleasing
Difficulties with boundary setting
Fallout from neglect and all kinds of abuse in childhood
Impact of a single incident trauma
Anxiety, Fears
Grief, fear, and trauma associated with having a neurodivergent child or being a neurodivergent adult in a neurotypical world.
PTSD from the medical trauma associated with having a child with complex medical needs or having a child in general
