A trauma treatment, called Accelerated Resolution Therapy (A.R.T) is showing promise for improving troubling symptoms that last beyond the initial Covid infection. A.R.T. has proven effective for many difficulties[AP1] like anxiety, panic, depression, trauma, phobias, pain and other issues. The therapy creator, Laney Rosenzweig, LMFT, applied the protocol with COVID sufferers and found it is successful for reducing the lingering symptoms. The lack of data about the COVID-19 virus side effects and recovery can make “long haul” ongoing symptoms feel overwhelming. For those having residual effects from having COVID-19, living a ‘new normal’ can be a struggle each day. Some of these symptoms can include*: - Coughing - Ongoing fatigue - Body aches - Joint pain - Shortness of breath - Loss of taste & smell - Difficulty sleeping - Headaches - Brain fog - Anxiety, depression The combination of the initial experience contracting COVID-19, followed by ongoing symptoms post-recovery exhibits in the body as a traumatic event. It makes sense then, that a “trauma” therapy is a promising treatment for COVID 19 “Long Hauler” symptoms. Accelerated Resolution Therapy is a proven, non-medication treatment for trauma that can improve or eliminate negative symptoms, memories and sensations from this traumatic experience. This brief, powerful intervention has been effective in reducing the persistent symptoms of COVID for many “long-haul” sufferers. After Accelerated Resolution Therapy, clients have experienced varied improvements with: smell and taste, energy level, breathing, mental clarity and mood. Accelerated Resolution Therapy uses bilateral eye movements (movback and forth with eyes rapidly) to tap into the body’s nervous system and memories of the experience. This protocol can assist the body in returning to equilibrium, much like “rebooting a computer”. If you would like to know more or set up a consult to see if you might benefit from Accelerated Resolution Therapy. It works for COVID-19 symptoms in addition to anxiety, panic, depression, trauma, phobias, pain and other issues.
