Decades of clinical research have established Prolonged Exposure (PE) as a definitive gold standard in the treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Developed by Dr. Edna Foa, this protocol operates on the premise that avoidance fuels trauma, while systematic confrontation facilitates healing. This masterclass provides a rigorous examination of the scientific architecture behind PE. We explore Emotional Processing Theory—the mechanism of action that allows the brain to digest traumatic memories—and analyze the dual-pillar approach of In Vivo and Imaginal exposure.

In this demonstration, Elisabeth Kaiser shows how to guide a client through the imaginary exposure exercise using the flower. This exercise is aimed at having the client bring back a significant positive memory in vivid detail.

In this lecture, dr. Patricia Resick discusses the evolution of Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) over the past 35 years, focusing on its development and research outcomes. Resick also outlines the 12-session structure of CPT, starting with education about PTSD and the assignment of an impact statement. Patients are encouraged to explore how their trauma has affected their beliefs about safety, trust, and relationships. The therapy helps patients understand the connection between their thoughts and emotions, teaching them to challenge negative beliefs to improve emotional well-being.
