00:00:00.810 --> 00:00:02.640
When you're doing treatment over telehealth,

2
00:00:02.640 --> 00:00:03.630
that means that you'll be meeting

3
00:00:03.630 --> 00:00:05.760
with your provider over an electronic

4
00:00:05.760 --> 00:00:08.640
device such as a computer or a tablet.

5
00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:10.290
I recommend that you find someplace

6
00:00:10.290 --> 00:00:13.200
that is confidential, private, and quiet.

7
00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:15.240
Trauma-focused treatment that is conducted

8
00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:17.640
through telehealth is actually very similar

9
00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:20.460
to such treatment that's done in person.

10
00:00:20.460 --> 00:00:23.220
The main differences are usually logistics.

11
00:00:23.220 --> 00:00:26.880
For example, in in-person therapy, you often have forms

12
00:00:26.880 --> 00:00:29.820
that you're looking at with your provider in the room.

13
00:00:29.820 --> 00:00:32.610
So through telehealth, you might do a screen share

14
00:00:32.610 --> 00:00:34.290
where your provider might get the documents

15
00:00:34.290 --> 00:00:36.270
to you ahead of time so you can look at them

16
00:00:36.270 --> 00:00:38.670
separately in your different spaces.

17
00:00:38.670 --> 00:00:41.520
But otherwise, the procedures are very similar.

18
00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:44.220
Also, some people find telehealth more convenient,

19
00:00:44.220 --> 00:00:47.790
not having to spend as much time traveling to the facility,

20
00:00:47.790 --> 00:00:51.390
and it can be comfortable to do it from your own home.

21
00:00:51.390 --> 00:00:53.010
And the good news is that research

22
00:00:53.010 --> 00:00:54.630
finds that many times telehealth

23
00:00:54.630 --> 00:00:56.730
is just as effective as in-person therapy.
