00:00:01.033 --> 00:00:01.868
-In Written Exposure Therapy,

00:00:01.868 --> 00:00:02.901
you won't be asked to

00:00:02.901 --> 00:00:04.501
talk about your trauma directly

00:00:04.501 --> 00:00:06.934
with your therapist.

00:00:06.934 --> 00:00:10.000
What will happen is that you'll, as it sounds,

00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:13.434
mostly write about the trauma that you've experienced.

00:00:13.434 --> 00:00:15.000
You'll give that to your therapist,

00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:16.834
so they're still seeing what you're writing

00:00:16.834 --> 00:00:19.167
and they can give you feedback that way,

00:00:19.167 --> 00:00:23.701
but you won't need to talk in detail in the session about it.

00:00:23.701 --> 00:00:26.400
There's a little check-in at the beginning of session

00:00:26.400 --> 00:00:28.801
where we'll make sure that we're on the same page

00:00:28.801 --> 00:00:31.167
about which event you're writing about,

00:00:31.167 --> 00:00:33.868
and there's a little check-in at the end of session

00:00:33.868 --> 00:00:38.567
where we'll just talk about, how did the writing go that day,

00:00:38.567 --> 00:00:41.234
what did you notice, what things came up,

00:00:41.234 --> 00:00:44.634
and it's a way to just wind up the treatment

00:00:44.634 --> 00:00:48.300
and leave you feeling ready to end for that day.
