The article emphasizes that effective PTSD recovery goes beyond emotional support and requires evidence-based treatments (EBTs) for lasting improvement. It calls attention to the dangers of non-research-backed therapies, which can lead to clients remaining stuck in their symptoms, dropping out of therapy, or experiencing discouragement. The recent American Psychological Association guidelines highlight trauma-focused therapies, particularly cognitive processing therapy (CPT) and prolonged exposure (PE), as essential tools in structured treatment designed to promote recovery and confront trauma's impact effectively.
PTSD treatment needs structure, clarity, and evidence-based approaches to foster meaningful recovery for affected individuals.
