Psychotherapy is effective in improving PTSD symptoms, reducing avoidance behaviours, and helping the PTSD patient to gain back their sense of control and functionality back in their lives.
Psychotherapy helps the PTSD patient identify their distorted thinking patterns associated with their traumatic memories, learn strategies to soothe themselves when experiencing distress or negative emotional reactions, face their fears, and learn healthy and constructive ways of thinking about the trauma.
The number of psychotherapy sessions differs for each individual based on their condition and response to the therapy sessions.
