The Rosenzweig Center for Rapid Recovery (RCRR) has also developed Sensation Awareness Focus Technique (SAF-T), which is a component drawn from the Basic ART protocol that focuses on moving or eliminating distressing body sensations and promoting rapid calming. Clinicians can offer SAF-T as an entry-level, skills-focused experience to introduce clients to ART-style regulation. We endorse it for use by certain healthcare or first responder professions that are not necessarily mental health providers, but are in a position to help people that they encounter to reduce physiological distress.
SAF-T is a revolutionary way to help people relax their bodies and focus on alleviating negative sensations to produce a calming effect.
It is a portion of the Basic ART protocol for those whose objective is to move or eliminate negative sensations in the body associated with anxiety, physical discomfort, pain and stress.
ALLEVIATE NEGATIVE PHYSICAL SENSATIONS: HOW DOES SAF-T WORK TO AID IN RELAXATION?
It is thought by many that the eye movements used in SAF-T and ART trigger a relaxation response in the body similar to the Rapid Eye Movement (REM) stage of sleep, where your body is very relaxed. Most people find the eye movements very relaxing and are able to rid themselves of the negative sensations they are feeling.

Training is available for professionals, paraprofessionals, medical professionals, parents, dentists, human service professionals who treat or counsel individuals for stress or other negative physical sensations.
