Prolonged Exposure therapy in San Antonio, TX

What is Prolonged Exposure therapy?

Prolonged Exposure therapy, also known as PE therapy, is a highly effective psychological treatment used to address the debilitating effects of trauma and PTSD. This evidence-based therapy approach aims to help individuals confront and process distressing memories, thoughts, and feelings associated with their traumatic experiences.

How it works

Through a systematic and structured process, clients are gradually exposed to the traumatic memories they have been actively avoiding, fostering a sense of emotional processing and healing. PE therapy combines cognitive restructuring techniques, such as identifying and challenging negative beliefs and assumptions, with imaginal and in vivo exposure exercises.

Studies have demonstrated the significant reduction of PTSD symptoms and improved quality of life as a result of engaging in Prolonged Exposure therapy. With the guidance and support of a trained therapist, individuals can regain control over their lives, overcome the impact of trauma, and experience post-traumatic growth.
