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/>Stay up to date and gain early access to new podcasts and upcoming events by signing up for our newsletter at <a href='https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/su/P9QRg9T'>Coming Home Well Newsletter</a><br/><br/>Check out our other podcasts: <a href='https://www.buzzsprout.com/1911442'>Beyond The Frontline</a>, <a href='https://www.buzzsprout.com/1947138'>Be Crazy Well</a>, <a href='https://www.buzzsprout.com/2004860'>Veteran Et Cetera</a><br/><br/>Follow us on IG <a href='https://www.instagram.com/cominghomwell_bts/'>@cominghomwell_bts</a> and <a href='https://www.instagram.com/behindtheservice/'>@behindtheservicepodcast</a><br/>Facebook at Coming Home Well or Behind The Service<br/>LinkedIn at Coming Home Well<br/><br/>Thank you to BetterHelp for sponsoring today&apos;s episode!
