How to use it

A hard thing happened; it doesn't have to become your name. Keep it in your story, not your identity, and get back to daily life. If it won't let go (flashbacks, avoiding places, sleep gone for weeks), the evidence-based step is a trauma-focused therapist, not toughing it out.

How sure we are

S Evidence: strong. Large trials or many studies, pointing the same way.

E Evidence: built from practice. What works for coaches and practitioners. Labelled that way.

Sources

Trauma-focused CBT (CPT, cognitive therapy, prolonged exposure) and EMDR had clinically important effects for PTSD across 114 trials, 8,171 people (Lewis et al. 2020, meta-analysis, 🟢) · "don't make one day your identity": Evy Poumpouras (🟠); her advice to stop therapy is NOT followed here.

Not medical, legal or financial advice.
