The current treatment protocol is based on two, research-supported therapeutic rationales, Behavioral Activation (BA) and Therapeutic Exposure (TE). Briefly, the treatment aims to increase the participant's engagement in healthy activities (i.e., activities that are naturally reinforcing and promote the participant's life values) and exposure activities (i.e., activities that target specific PTSD symptoms such as avoidance and hyperarousal). Treatment will be implemented in eight, one and half hour sessions. Although research supports the effectiveness of behavior- and exposure-based treatments for trauma-related mental health problems, a potential risk for any counseling program that targets avoidance symptoms is a temporary increase in emotional distress. Therapists will inform participants that this is a normal "side effect" of treatment. However, over the course of treatment should a participant's emotional distress rise to a level above what can be handled via outpatient counseling, the participant will be removed from the study and appropriate referrals will be made.
