Prolonged Exposure Therapy Manual

Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE) is a structured approach designed to help individuals process and reduce the distress caused by traumatic memories. The therapy involves gradually and safely confronting memories, reminders, and situations associated with trauma through repeated exposure. This process helps clients reduce fear and avoidance, allowing them to gain a new understanding of their experiences and develop healthier responses. The manual provides therapists with step-by-step guidance on how to implement this approach effectively, ensuring clients can work through their trauma at a comfortable pace, ultimately leading to decreased symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
