Ask the Expert - Kyle Faust, PhD: What Is Prolonged Exposure Therapy and How Does It Work? 

Prolonged Exposure Therapy focuses primarily on treating avoidance in veterans and active duty members with PTDS, explains Kyle Faust, PhD, clinical psychologist at Wounded Warrior Project’s Home Base program. The therapy includes Imaginal Exposure and In Vivo Exposure, both of which help lessen the tendency to avoid any thoughts or triggers from a traumatic event, which in turn lessens other symptoms of PTSD.
