00:00:01.367 --> 00:00:03.000
One of the other most commonly asked questions

00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:06.467
we get about Written Exposure Therapy is,

00:00:06.467 --> 00:00:10.501
"Do I need to do this in writing?"

00:00:10.501 --> 00:00:15.734
And the short answer is, ideally, that is the preference.

00:00:15.734 --> 00:00:19.934
At the same time, we're certainly aware that

00:00:19.934 --> 00:00:25.501
some patients may have physical challenges that preclude them

00:00:25.501 --> 00:00:28.968
from actually doing the protocol

00:00:28.968 --> 00:00:30.901
in the way that we have developed it

00:00:30.901 --> 00:00:35.234
and might need an alternative to writing about their stressful

00:00:35.234 --> 00:00:37.334
or traumatic experiences.

00:00:37.334 --> 00:00:41.701
In those cases, the Written Exposure Therapy protocol

00:00:41.701 --> 00:00:43.767
can be very flexible.

00:00:43.767 --> 00:00:48.067
Modifications can certainly be made.

00:00:48.067 --> 00:00:53.467
If someone is not physically capable of doing the writing,

00:00:53.467 --> 00:00:58.167
then it's certainly possible as an alternative

00:00:58.167 --> 00:01:01.968
to speak into a digital recorder

00:01:01.968 --> 00:01:04.467
in the same way that you would be writing about it.
