00:00:00.150 --> 00:00:03.960
The therapy is designed to be present-focused,

2
00:00:03.960 --> 00:00:05.610
but that does not mean

3
00:00:05.610 --> 00:00:09.060
that you won't talk about your trauma at all.

4
00:00:09.060 --> 00:00:10.465
In that first session,

5
00:00:10.465 --> 00:00:14.040
in that getting to know you session with your therapist,

6
00:00:14.040 --> 00:00:17.520
your therapist may ask you what your trauma experience was,

7
00:00:17.520 --> 00:00:20.370
just so that they're on the same page as you.

8
00:00:20.370 --> 00:00:23.010
And that's pretty much the level of detail

9
00:00:23.010 --> 00:00:26.540
that you will share throughout the therapy.

10
00:00:26.540 --> 00:00:29.250
To the extent that you want to sort of revisit

11
00:00:29.250 --> 00:00:31.380
some information about the trauma,

12
00:00:31.380 --> 00:00:32.880
you can actually talk with your therapist

13
00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:34.740
about how best to approach that.

14
00:00:34.740 --> 00:00:37.440
But in general, this treatment is present-focused,

15
00:00:37.440 --> 00:00:38.880
so you'll be talking more

16
00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:41.380
about the current issues that you're experiencing.
