<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

A type of cognitive behavioral treatment that focuses on decreasing symptoms of PTSD. A short term, individual therapy that addresses trauma memories, via writing, in a safe and supportive environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Written exposure therapy can help you relieve symptoms of PTSD<\/strong>. With this therapy, you learn to lessen the distress caused by traumatic memories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Written exposure therapy typically consists of five sessions. Through the therapy, you learn that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Traumatic memories do not have to cause significant distress.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Any distress you feel is temporary.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • It is possible to develop new ways of thinking about the trauma and its meaning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    If you choose written exposure therapy, you will be asked to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Write in detail about the trauma you experienced.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Reframe the way you think about your trauma.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      To learn whether written exposure therapy is right for you, speak with your mental health provider about your mental health symptoms and discuss your goals and preferences for treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
