Prolonged exposure, or PE, is a form of psychotherapy that is used to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It is a subset of cognitive behavioral therapy known as dialectical behavior therapy.
You will learn via prolonged exposure treatment how to step-by-step address memories, feelings, and experiences associated with the traumatic experience that you have been avoiding ever since the incident occurred. It’s possible that if you put in the effort to get beyond these challenges, you’ll see an improvement in the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder.
The purpose of physical education is to teach you how to properly confront your anxieties so that they no longer have power over your life. The purpose is not to make you feel uncomfortable or to coerce you into having a particular reaction. Instead, you will come away from the process with new abilities and a fresh viewpoint on the traumatic event that you experienced.
The troubling thoughts and sensations will eventually become less strong and easier to handle with time and effort. You will no longer feel like a victim of your PTSD, but rather like an empowered individual who can take charge of his or her life.
