Extended Exposure Treatment

Extended Exposure Treatment is a therapeutic approach used primarily for individuals with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and anxiety disorders. It involves helping patients gradually face and process memories of traumatic events in a safe and controlled environment. Through repeated, guided exposure to these memories, patients learn to reduce their fear and emotional distress. The aim is to help them integrate the experience, leading to improved coping mechanisms and reduced symptoms over time. This method empowers individuals to confront their fears, ultimately promoting healing and resilience.
