Prolonged Exposure Therapy

Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE) is a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy primarily used to help individuals with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and anxiety. It involves guiding patients to confront their memories and feelings related to the trauma in a safe and controlled environment. By repeatedly engaging with these distressing thoughts and experiences, patients can gradually reduce their anxiety and learn to cope with their emotions more effectively. This process helps them to reclaim their life and reduce the symptoms associated with trauma, allowing for healing and recovery.
