    Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) with guest Colleen Clark
    13 Jun 2025
    Emerging research supports Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) as an effective, evidence-based approach to trauma healing, showing significant reductions in PTSD symptoms after just a few sessions. Unlike traditional talk therapy, ART works by leveraging eye movement therapy and memory reconsolidation to change the way traumatic memories are stored in the brain—without requiring clients to repeatedly relive distressing experiences. In this episode of Ask Angela, I’m joined by Colleen Clark, an author and advocate who helped bring ART to Canada. We’ll break down how this therapy is changing lives by offering rapid relief from PTSD, anxiety, and other trauma-related symptoms. If you’re curious about innovative, science-backed trauma therapies, this episode is for you.

    Studies have shown that engaging in creative activities like painting, music, and pottery can reduce stress, lower cortisol levels, and activate the brain’s reward system, improving overall mental health.

I’m joined by guests Caren Gagne and Pat Stamp, who will share their experiences in using art as an individual therapeutic practice. Whether you’re an artist or just curious about the connection between creativity and healing, this conversation will illuminate the science behind why art is such a powerful tool for mental well-being.
