Are you struggling with trauma, PTSD, or distressing memories that interfere with your daily life? Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE) is a highly effective, research-backed treatment designed to help you process and reduce trauma symptoms. At Summit Counseling Center, our trained therapists provide compassionate PE therapy to support your recovery and reclaim your peace.
What Is Prolonged Exposure Therapy?
Prolonged Exposure Therapy is a cognitive-behavioral treatment that helps you safely confront trauma-related memories, feelings, and situations. By gradually facing what has been avoided, PE helps reduce the power trauma has over your life, promoting emotional processing and healing. This approach is widely recognized as a gold standard for treating PTSD.
What to Expect in Prolonged Exposure Therapy Sessions
In PE sessions, you will:
- Work with your therapist to safely revisit traumatic memories
- Engage in imaginal exposure by recounting trauma details
- Gradually face avoided situations in real life (in vivo exposure)
- Learn coping skills to manage distress and anxiety
- Track progress and adjust treatment based on your needs
This structured process helps you regain control and reduce trauma’s hold on your life.
