My primary mode of treatment is PE,
and what that is is Exposure therapy.
We're exposing the Veteran to these trauma memories
that have been haunting them and to trauma reminders.
The patient will come and meet for about 10 to 15 sessions,
give or take, weekly sessions, 90 minutes,
and we help them in a very structured manner
to revisit these sorts of things that they have been avoiding.
It's thought that the mechanism that keeps PTSD going
is this avoidance.
Although it's natural,
we know that we have to approach something
in order to get through it.
