Prolonged Exposure Therapy

Overview of Treatment

Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE) is a form of cognitive-behavioral therapy primarily used to treat Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The core of this therapy involves helping patients confront and process fears and avoidance behaviors related to traumatic events.

Through systematic exposure therapy, patients gradually learn to manage intense emotional reactions caused by traumatic memories, thereby reducing the severity of symptoms. This therapy has been widely applied in clinical settings and is supported by extensive research evidence.
