Overcoming PTSD: How Prolonged Exposure Therapy Can Help You Heal

If you have PTSD, you might find yourself avoiding certain memories or situations because they bring up a lot of fear or anxiety. Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE) helps you face these memories in a safe and supportive way. It might sound strange to go towards what you’ve been avoiding, but over time, facing these triggers can actually help lower the fear and distress they bring. Studies show that PE can reduce PTSD symptoms by 50-60% for many people. As the burden of fear, anxiety, and hypervigilance subsides, you might experience a renewed sense of calm, regaining the ability to fully engage in life without being perpetually constrained by past trauma.
