More recent studies have also shown that alternative interventions like cognitive behavioral therapy for PTSD (CBT for PTSD), narrative exposure therapy (NET) and written exposure can also be helpful in managing symptoms of PTSD.6
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT): During CPT people learn to notice how trauma has changed their lives, especially how it has changed their thoughts about themselves, other people, and the world around them. A therapist helps people notice these thoughts, assess whether they are true, and consider other ways to think.7
Prolonged Exposure (PE): During PE therapy, an individual with PTSD tells the story of the trauma from memory. As the person repeats the story, the memory eventually becomes less powerful. A therapist also helps people practice facing situations that feel dangerous but probably aren’t, typically the situations they have avoided as part of their PTSD.8
Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): During EMDR, individuals talk about the memories that have been most difficult for them with a trained therapist while something repetitive is happening in front of them, causing repetitive eye movement that desensitizes the telling of the story. Therapists can also help individuals shift their feelings about traumatic memories and how people think about themselves in relation to those memories – called reprocessing.9
Describe the differences and similarities between Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and eye movement therapies. Discuss which approach (CBT, ART, EMDR) you may want to utilize with someone diagnosed with Posttraumatic Stress Syndrome. Discuss the reasons for your choice.
The student will post one thread of at least 275 words by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Thursday of the assigned Module: Week. For the post, students must support their assertions with at least 2 scholarly citation and one biblical citation in APA format. Scholarly sources cited must have been published within the last five years. Acceptable scholarly sources include peer reviewed journals, the textbook, or other academic books.
