EP:135 Prolonged Exposure Therapy vs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ~ Dr. Paula Schnurr

<p>In this episode, stepping in for Tyler, is our guest host Libby from our sister podcast Behind the Service. Libby talks with <a href='https://www.ptsd.va.gov/about/divisions/executive/schnurr_p.asp'>Dr. Paula Schnurr</a>, executive director for the <a href='https://ptsd.va.gov/'>National Center for PTSD</a> about the difference between prolonged exposure therapy versus cognitive behavioral therapy for veterans with PTSD. Prolonged exposure therapy focuses on helping a person get control over their traumatic memories to break the cycle. Whereas, cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on the thoughts of guilt and shame that often accompany the traumatic experience. <br/><br/>Visit the National Center of PTSD at <a href='https://ptsd.va.gov/'>https://ptsd.va.gov/</a><br/><br/></p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=DPPU22JG5EM6Y">Support the show</a><p>Thank you to BetterHelp for sponsoring today&apos;s episode!
