What is SĀF-T?

SĀF-T (pronounced ‘SAFETY’) is a revolutionary way to help people relax their bodies and focus on alleviating negative sensations to produce a calming effect. It is a protocol for those whose objective is to move or eliminate negative sensations in the body associated with anxiety, physical discomfort, pain, and stress. 

How does SĀF-T work?

The eye movements used in SĀF-T trigger a relaxation response in the body similar to the Rapid Eye Movement (REM) stage of sleep, where your body is very relaxed. SĀF-T is a self-regulatory tool that helps retrain the brain and body to quickly reduce negative sensations, improve mood states, and view and change distorted cognitions. It improves concentration, focus, planning, task management, and short-term memory. 

What will this training do?

Professionals and practitioners can use the SĀF-T approach to aid individuals in alleviating negative sensations, physical discomfort, and relief of some pain symptoms. SĀF-T is not therapy, although it utilizes eye movements similar to those used during an ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy) session. Training is available for professionals and practitioners who treat or counsel individuals experiencing distress and for stress or negative physical sensations. 

Can anyone learn SĀF-T?

YES! Other than practitioners, this training is also appropriate for parents, teachers, paraprofessionals, coaches, day care providers, emergency service personnel, medical and dental staff, and anyone who regularly comes in contact with those experiencing anxiety or distress.  

From a SĀF-T Training Participant

“I have used SĀF-T a few different ways. I use it to help me fall asleep when my mind wants to stay awake. I used it with a friend who was having back pain. I used it with my dad while traveling, he was having leg pain and now he refers to SĀF-T as my magic.”

“I lived for many years accepting my depression as a facet of my existence. But it is an illness, and with guidance and work it doesn't have to be permanent. Once I accepted that and worked through ART, my symptoms decreased significantly and my management strategies make life easier. I'm not afraid of myself anymore. "

Jenny D.

“I went into ART for many traumatic events and I never thought that I would ever overcome them. But after 6 months I am happy to say I have a whole new outlook on life and I am no longer filled with fear and anxiety. Heather Frach was patient and kind and I would highly recommend her and this therapy.”

“When I first started art therapy it was my last ditch effort to get help. Heather explained what it was and I thought it was some hippy woo woo shit I was very skeptical that it would work. After a handful of sessions my memory started getting better, less panic/anxiety attacks and so much more. I was slowly getting my life back. I was in such a dark place, childhood trauma and a very traumatic birth and postpartum experience with my daughter. She’s helped me process it and learn to move out of the past and look forward to the future. I was in a very mentally and emotionally abusive relationship, a month after my son was born I decided to leave and become a single mom of a 1.5 yo and a newborn. I never thought I’d get the strength to leave after being with him for years but heather helped build my confidence back and when I left I processed it beautifully. She helped me become the most mentally stable I’ve been in years. I even made a shirt that says “so stable it’s scary” and wore it to our last appointment. I’m now the best mom I can be and the best version of myself and I can’t thank her enough. Without art therapy i wouldn’t have the life I have now, I recommend it to anyone I know who is in such a deep hole that they can’t get out. Trust the hippie woo woo shit, it really does work.”
