Prolonged Exposure Session 2A: Common Reactions to Trauma - Ryan

This video demonstrates a discussion of the common reactions to trauma. The therapist begins by focusing on the presenting problem and proceeds through some of the symptoms mentioned initially by the client, eventually covering most of the reactions listed in the protocol though not in the order listed in the protocol. This discussion provides information and validation for the client while also encouraging additional and more specific disclosure about the client’s PTSD symptoms.
