In this session, Dr. Barbara Rothbaum explores the case of a patient treated through prolonged exposure therapy (PE). Sarah, diagnosed with PTSD and possibly depression, experienced a traumatic home invasion in Somalia at age eight. Her immigration to the United States hindered emotional processing, causing fear responses and avoidance behaviors tied to trauma reminders. Join us to discover the therapeutic journey of Sarah.
Here are the most important highlights from the video:
* Sarah’s PTSD and potential depression stem from an unprocessed childhood trauma: a violent home invasion in Somalia during the war.
* Her PTSD involves triggers, responses, and meanings, leading to avoidance and fear.
* Lack of post-immigration emotional processing and discussion worsened her symptoms.
