The article discusses written exposure therapy (WET), an advanced treatment method for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Unlike traditional therapy that involves verbalizing traumatic experiences, WET focuses on writing detailed narratives, which allows patients to confront and process emotions in a structured way. Research indicates that WET can effectively reduce PTSD symptoms within just five sessions, while showing higher retention rates than prolonged exposure therapy. This approach is not only efficient but also offers a less demanding alternative, making it a practical treatment option for individuals with PTSD.
Denise Sloan, a psychologist, details how written exposure therapy not only helps in symptom reduction for PTSD but does so with higher retention rates than conventional methods.
Written exposure therapy reduces PTSD symptoms significantly, showing efficacy within just five sessions, making it a highly accessible and time-efficient option for treatment.
