    Real-word Psychological Therapy for PTSD

    Presented by Dr Dan Barnard, Consultant Clinical Psychologist

    Dr Barnard gives insight into the psychological treatment journey for people with PTSD, which can be a significantly debilitating mental health disorder.

    Hear lived experience during this webinar from Nick Caswell, veteran and former members of the R0yal Signal Corps, who will recount his PTSD experience, and treatment journey with Dr Barnard.

    Traumatic experiences by their very nature are often the most difficult events that people have endured in their lives and PTSD causes these to be involuntarily relived, over and over.  Those affected understandably want to avoid the memories and yet trauma focused CBT is mostly about doing the opposite.

    Thorough assessment and theory explanation, relationship-building and emotional skills development all precede the difficult task of confronting the actual trauma memories head on, together in a room with a therapist.
