Prolonged Exposure Therapy: Addressing Trauma-Related Fears and Symptoms
Prolonged exposure therapy is a treatment modality that focuses on tackling avoidance behaviors related to traumatic memories and situations.

By repetitively facing these stimuli, patients learn to reduce fear responses and regain confidence in handling challenging situations.
