PE (Prolonged Exposure Therapy)

Prolonged Exposure (PE) therapy is a psychological treatment designed to help individuals confront and process traumatic memories safely. It involves gradually and systematically revisiting memories, thoughts, and situations related to the trauma to reduce their power over you. Through repeated exposure in a controlled setting, the goal is to diminish fear and avoidance behaviors, allowing people to regain a sense of control and emotional stability. PE is evidence-based and typically conducted with the guidance of a trained therapist, making it effective for conditions like PTSD by helping clients reinterpret and integrate traumatic experiences.
