In Prolonged Exposure therapy, clients repeatedly recount the trauma memory in detail through "imaginal exposure." But this isn't to cause harm, it actually helps clients process the memory in a safe, supported way. Learn more at: bit.ly/3MQ0RVk #PTSD #Trauma #Therapist

“Everyone who experiences trauma develops PTSD." ❌ This is one of the most common myths surrounding PTSD, and one of the most important to debunk. Most of people who experience trauma recover naturally. They process what happened, lean on support systems, and heal over time.
