It's also relatively new as treatments go. I think the VA is the only major organization to embrace it at this point. Most private practitioners are not trained in it, so there isn't much access (at least in my experience). I learned about it from a documentary on ptsd that I happened to catch on Netflix a few years ago (I know, right?!).
Do you have any thoughts around which you would prefer to try? Also, what's cpt?

Yes the VA is really embracing it. Part of a PTSD hub training. The CPT is Cognitive Processing Therapy. Have no idea what that's about either. A documentary about PTSD on Netflix? LOL , well okay
I expect they make a safe environment for the client while doing this. And as always the client can say stop, and withdraw from that treatment plan. But if it has helped with others might be worth a try.
I asked the T which one she thought would benefit me more right now and she said the PE. She's a PTSD expert so I'm kind of thinking she feels like this is a good option. At least it's a weekly check in and not like the long waits between sessions with the other T. That has been a big concern of mine of opening Pandora's box and not being able to get that heffer back in the box before leaving. Time and experience will tell though.
