Written Exposure Therapy (WET) for PTSD

What is Written Exposure Therapy (WET)?

WET is a brief, structured treatment for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) that uses written narratives to help individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences. It is a highly effective, time-limited approach, often completed in just five sessions. WET allows individuals to confront their trauma through writing, reducing the intensity of their PTSD symptoms.

How WET Works

WET involves writing about the traumatic event in a guided, therapeutic manner. Each session focuses on recounting the trauma in detail, followed by reflection and cognitive processing. The goal is to reduce the emotional charge associated with the trauma and change how it is remembered, allowing the individual to move forward with fewer symptoms.

Who Can Benefit from WET?

WET is ideal for individuals who prefer a non-verbal or brief treatment for PTSD. It is particularly effective for people who have experienced trauma and are seeking a structured, short-term approach to address their symptoms. WET is an excellent option for those who may find traditional, longer-term therapies overwhelming or difficult to commit to.
