Prolonged Exposure Therapy for PTSD: A Key Strategy for Healing from PTSD 

The central feature of PTSD is the creation a "trauma memory". These memories are associated with powerful emotions, the feeling of recency, they are often avoided and frequently are jumbled/don't make sense.
The solution to trauma memories is to convert them to narrative memories which aren't alarming. To do so, we need to make sense of what happened; only then can one figure out the meaning and the lessons of the trauma. That is how we silence their alarm call. No one wants to do that but in stirquiliniius inventor: what you need most is were you least want to look.
We explore how this works with a fictitious story about Robert and Australian Army soldier who developed PTSD after a shocking incident in Afghanistan.
