Written Exposure Therapy (WET)
What is Written Exposure Therapy (WET)?
WET is an innovative, brief, and effective PTSD treatment that often achieves meaningful results in just five sessions. You write about your traumatic experience in a structured format during session, with no homework between meetings. Research shows WET is as effective as longer treatments for many people, making it a good option when time or preference call for a briefer approach.
What to Expect
- Five sessions, each about 60 minutes, with flexibility to extend the treatment if needed
- You write about the traumatic experience for about 30 minutes, followed by processing and discussion
- No “homework” — all the work happens in session
