FAQ: How will this notebook help with trauma? This workbook uses Written Exposure Therapy, an evidence-based mental health treatment used by the VA and DoD for PTSD. It is also used by therapists to help survivors of traumatic experiences recover from traumatic events. WET has shown statistically and clinically significant symptom change in individuals with PTSD, and has been put in an easy to use, accessible format in this workbook. FAQ: When should I use this workbook? This workbook is intended to be used over the course of 5 sessions, 1 session per week. Allow yourself 45 minutes at around the same time each week to engage in your WET workbook. It is important to keep your sessions consistent, and to treat them with the same attention and care you would with a session with a therapist, so that you can get the most from each session. FAQ: What is the purpose of this workbook? Those with trauma are familiar with the intense feelings and reactions caused by a traumatic event. But processing trauma and feeling its effects are two different things entirely. The latter can be paralyzing and exhausting, causing constant vigilance and fear. The goal of this notebook is to help survivors of trauma learn to engage with their memories and process the event so that they can find their power, and move forward. FAQ: Is this notebook a replacement for therapy? Written Exposure Therapy has been shown to be effective when practiced with a clinician; however, it has yet to be thoroughly tested in a book or self-help format. Therefore, this is not a replacement for conducting Written Exposure Therapy or other therapy with a professional. Even though this specific book has not been endorsed by the protocol authors or tested on its own, we believe it could still help people in need. We know not everyone has the time, money, or energy to find professional assistance. Through our notebooks, we hope to make well-researched, effective treatments accessible to more people.
