How it works
Breaks the avoidance cycle that maintains PTSD by providing corrective learning — the traumatic memory can be revisited without it being re-traumatising. Reduces conditioned fear to trauma cues.
Requires a trained therapist. Temporarily increases distress during exposure exercises — this is expected and therapeutic. Not appropriate without professional guidance.
Finding a practitioner
Seek a qualified and registered practitioner. In Australia, check AHPRA (ahpra.gov.au) for registered health practitioners including physiotherapists, psychologists, and Chinese medicine practitioners.
