Using Prolonged Exposure Therapy to Emotionally Process Traumatic Memories
Though many individuals who experience trauma such as war, terror attacks, violence and disaster will recover, those who suffer with post traumatic stress disorder may struggle for years and still be unable to regain a sense of normalcy in their lives. Prolonged Exposure therapy (PE) is one of the most effective and extensively researched approaches to treating PTSD arising from a wide variety of traumas and in individuals with varied and complex presentations including patients with multiple trauma exposures (e.g. chronic abuse, combat, etc.), extremely chronic PTSD, multiple comorbidities, and clinicians who see it as unduly harsh, inflexible, and potentially harmful. PE treatment focuses on helping the client to overcome the natural tendency to avoid distressing imaginal and n vivo exposure exercises the therapist and the client work together to approach previously avoided material and to emotionally process the event/memory by exploring changes in meaning, behavior and emotional reactions. By clinical case example, the workshop will illustrate the flexible application of the core components of PE and explore case formulation for treatment.
