What is Prolonged Exposure (PE)?

Prolonged Exposure is a treatment for PTSD, using exposure interventions.   Exposure in this sense means facing thoughts, feelings, or situations that are usually avoided because they trigger distress. 

How do I know if PE is right for me? 

If you are a trauma survivor, 13 years and older, who is experiencing symptoms such as:

• Avoiding reminders of the trauma (i.e. people, places, or thoughts related to the trauma)
• Re-experiencing (i.e. flashbacks, unwanted memories, intrusive thoughts)
• Negative thoughts and mood (i.e. depression, anxiety, guilt, shame, etc)
• Physical symptoms (i.e. jumpiness, fainting, heart racing, numb or frozen feelings)

A “trauma” can be any experience in which you have felt your life or safety have been threatened or violated. Some examples would be, accidents, sexual/physical assaults, combat experiences, childhood abuse, domestic violence, torture, life-threatening illness, etc.

How long are PE sessions? 

PE sessions are 90 minutes long in order to ensure enough time for exposure interventions and processing.  PE treatment can usually be completed in about 8 to 15 sessions!

What is Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR)?

EMDR is a structured therapy that encourages the client to briefly focus on a specific traumatic memory while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation (typically eye movements or tapping).  This brings about a reduction in the vividness of the memories as well as the resulting emotional and/or physiological responses associated with the trauma memories. EMDR therapy is an extensively researched, effective psychotherapy method proven to help people recover from trauma and PTSD symptoms. This can be a brief therapy depending on the complexity of the trauma being addressed.

A “trauma” can be any experience in which you have felt your life or safety have been threatened or violated. Some examples would be, accidents, sexual/physical assaults, combat experiences, childhood abuse, domestic violence, torture, life-threatening illness, etc.

How long are EMDR sessions? 

EMDR sessions are 60-90 minutes. The number of sessions is determined by the severity of the trauma. 

Note: EMDR would not be a fit for those that tend to shut down when recalling traumatic memories. PE would be a better fit here.
