Friday, November 12, 2021, 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM CDT
Category: Events

Details:

Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), has shown to be effective in reducing symptoms of PTSD with multiple types of trauma, including combat trauma, sexual trauma, and civilian trauma.  Prolonged Exposure (PE) for PTSD is one of the most effective treatments for PTSD, with the largest amount of empirical data over the past few decades. Extensive research has shown PE to be effective in reducing PTSD with civilians and veterans and with various types of trauma, including sexual and physical assault, combat trauma, natural disasters, and motor vehicle accidents.
