  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that can develop in individuals who have experienced or witnessed a traumatic or life-threatening event. PTSD can significantly impact a person's thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and it may interfere with their ability to function in daily life. Traumatic events that can lead to PTSD include, but are not limited to, combat exposure, sexual assault, physical assault, natural disasters, accidents, or any event that involves a threat to life or physical integrity.

  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a complex mental health condition that can manifest in various ways. It's important to note that only a qualified healthcare professional, such as a psychiatrist or psychologist, can provide a definitive diagnosis.

SOMATIC EXPERIENCING®

At Recovery Inside Out, exploring and regulating the nervous system is often times the focus of our work. Understanding our own nervous system provides safety, comfort, and direction as we approach any activity or healing endeavor. Somatic therapy is all about nervous system repatterning. It is based on the understanding that our body stores our unfinished business, and by shifting the body towards more health, centeredness, and presence, our minds will naturally follow. This is what makes somatic therapy different than traditional approaches to talk therapy.

  • Somatic Experiencing is one modality integrated into sessions at Recovery Inside Out, LLC. This type of therapy uses a bottom-up approach, meaning we start with the sensations in your body. We explore what feelings, memories, and subconscious beliefs might be just under the surface, so we can get to the root and support, deep, lifelong healing.

  • Somatic Experiencing emphasizes the resolution of trauma on the deepest level in the nervous system.

    Research shows unresolved traumas play a significant role in many common mental and physical illnesses, including anxiety, depression, chronic pain, insomnia, irrational fears, addictions, and/or constantly feeling “on guard”, etc.

    You’ve suffered alone for long enough; We are here and ready to help.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)

At Recovery Inside Out, we understand that healing from trauma and emotional distress shouldn't be a prolonged process. Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is designed to tackle issues like trauma and anxiety in just one or two sessions, without the need for lengthy discussions about what is bringing you to therapy. Our skilled therapists guide you through this transformative process, helping you reclaim peace and control over your life.

  • ART sessions usually last 60 to 90 minutes, depending on what you're working on and what your nervous system can handle that day. Our therapists will walk with you to figure out the pace that fits—not just what you're carrying, but also how you're wired. It’s about working smarter, not longer.

  • Nope—but we get why people ask.

    ART and EMDR both use eye movements and help folks process trauma, but they do it in different ways. EMDR focuses on helping you desensitize and reprocess memories. ART, on the other hand, is more structured, more visual, and often faster. It helps you replace distressing images with ones that feel safe, peaceful, or empowering—and you don’t even have to talk about every detail of your trauma out loud.

    Both are effective. The best choice? The one that works for you.

  • We’ve seen folks experience major relief in just one session—seriously. For others, it might take a few. It really depends on what you’re working through and how your system processes it. Either way, ART moves fast compared to most traditional talk therapies.

  • Absolutely. In fact, that’s how many people use it. ART can be a standalone treatment, or it can be added in to support what you're already doing in therapy. We collaborate with your existing therapist if that’s helpful—we’re not here to replace the work, we’re here to amplify it.

  • That’s great—we love that. You don’t have to choose between your therapist and us. We’re happy to work in tandem with your existing therapist to support you through a specific issue or stuck point. Think of us like a targeted boost, not a full handoff.

  • Yes. ART is recognized as an evidence-based treatment by the Society of Clinical Psychology (Division 12 of the American Psychological Association). The research continues to grow, and the outcomes speak for themselves.

    8. Are there reasons someone might not be a good fit for ART?

    Yes—and it’s important we name those with care and honesty.

    ART is powerful, but like all therapeutic tools, it’s not the right fit for everyone. There are a few situations where ART may not be appropriate or effective, including:

    We’ll never push you into a modality that isn’t right for your nervous system or your readiness. If ART doesn’t feel like a fit, we’ve got other approaches—and we’ll figure it out together. The goal isn’t just doing ART. The goal is healing, and we’re committed to helping you find the path that gets you there.
