A revolutionary way to approach therapy for PTSD and other mental health issues, ART is unique in its approach. ART’s directive approach includes specific interventions for different conditions and a procedural protocol that also involves connecting both the client and the clinician to their most creative abilities. The use of metaphors to problem solve can produce quick and remarkable results. Children love using ART because of its creativity.
Therapists are often looking for ways to increase their resiliency. We talk about “burn out” because we, as therapists, are hearing distressing narratives all day long. Using ART, however, opens the door to resolving serious problems without the clients having to relate the distressing details. The immediate benefits and ability to rapidly lower distress is very gratifying. The fact that ART is more process-oriented and less content oriented also increases resiliency because the clients are doing the work to find their own solutions.
Therapists have been able to learn and apply ART in just three days of Basic ART Training.
ART trainings are in-person only due to the experiential nature of the training. If you would like to see an ART Basic training in your area, we’d love to begin the conversation. Contact Christie Eastman at christie.eastman@chhi.org or 304-526-2634.
