Online, June 12, 2013 (Newswire.com) - The Orlando-based ]Rosenzweig Center for Rapid Recovery (RCRR) joins the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and healthcare professionals nationwide in the observance of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Awareness Month.
During PTSD Awareness Month and on PTSD Awareness Day, June 27, 2013, national attention is being focused on this condition, and the HHS is renewing its support of research, education, and treatment for those living with PTSD, as well as for their friends and families.
One such treatment studied at the University of South Florida in Tampa under a two-year Department of Defense grant was Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), specifically addressing trauma in military personnel suffering from PTSD. Results of that study, which treated 80 participants suffering from PTSD using ART, were published in the June 18, 2012, edition of the scientific journal Behavioral Sciences.

In as few as one or two sessions, ART, developed in Hartford, Conn., by Laney Rosenzweig, LMFT, utilizes Voluntary Image Replacement to aid patients in eliminating distressing images or closely connecting them to positive images of their choice.
"I developed ART as a drug-free, rapid approach for treatment of post traumatic stress disorder, phobias, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues for adults and children," says Rosenzweig, who has been in the mental health field since 1990.
Rosenzweig is currently training therapists in the use of ART in Connecticut, where her office is based, in Central and South Florida, and in Massachusetts.
According to the HHS, PTSD affects 1 in 29 Americans, ranging from our country's service men and women to abused children and survivors of rape, domestic violence and natural disasters.
