A treatment program for adults, ages 18+, who have experienced a variety of traumas, such as combat, sexual assault, car accidents, violent crimes, and acts of terrorism.  It consists of 8 -15 treatment sessions that are 60-90 minutes each. Clients are encouraged to repeatedly approach situations or activities they are avoiding because they remind them of their trauma (in vivo exposure), as well as to revisit the traumatic memory through retelling it (imaginal exposure). Psychoeducation about common reactions to trauma as well as breathing retraining exercises are also included in the treatment. The aim of in vivo and imaginal exposure is to help clients emotionally process their traumatic memories through the imaginal and in vivo exposures. Through these procedures, clients learn that they can safely remember the trauma and experience trauma reminders, that the distress that initially resulted from confrontations with these reminders decreases over time, and that they are capable of tolerating this distress.
