If you're dealing with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), especially if you also struggle with suicidal thoughts, self-harm, or other diagnoses, there's a specialized treatment that can help: DBT Prolonged Exposure (DBT PE).

This approach is for adults who are already in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). DBTPE is built on Prolonged Exposure (PE) therapy, a highly effective method for overcoming trauma.

What is DBT PE?

For individuals (teens and adults) already in DBT who are struggling with PTSD alongside suicidal thoughts or self-harm, DBT Prolonged Exposure (DBT PE) offers powerful help.

DBT PE is based on Prolonged Exposure (PE) therapy, one of the most effective treatments for trauma. It works by using:

• Safe retelling of trauma memories (Imaginal Exposure).

• Gradual facing of avoided situations (In Vivo Exposure).

By combining this specialized trauma work with your existing DBT skills, we address all your symptoms in a structured, step-by-step way, leading to lasting healing from complex PTSD.
