Anyone working in trauma-informed care knows that the body keeps the score. This is why PTSD therapy can make such a difference in not only the mental health of those suffering from PTSD and complex PTSD but also in their physical health. However, psychotherapy for PTSD, cognitive behavioural therapy, and internal family systems therapy aren't always enough. For clients needing an alternative therapy for PTSD, accelerated resolution therapy, or ART, offers a promising solution. This relatively new evidence-based therapy may not have made it into every PTSD textbook yet but is well on its way to become mental health providers' first choice for trauma informed therapy because it delivers real results in such a short time: only about eight sessions.

You may have already undergone basic ART training and have even read an accelerated resolution therapy book or two. So what makes this one different? Come Passion - The Soulful ART of Healing Trauma and What to Do Before You Deliver Accelerated Resolution Therapy isn't simply an accelerated resolution therapy manual and its focus isn't on the ART itself but on how to prepare your client and yourself for your sessions. It is designed to enhance your work as an ART therapist and help you refine your skills. In addition to providing you with the foundation you need, this mood disorders therapy workbook also gives you practical tools, such as scripts and checklists, that can help you streamline your sessions with your client. It is the PTSD and complex PTSD recovery workbook you will return to again and again as you become more adept at delivering this soulful art of helping your clients heal from their trauma-related wounds.
