Description of Training:

Prolonged Exposure (PE) is cited as one of the primary evidence-based treatments for PTSD in the VA-DOD clinical practice guidelines.

Part 2:

Training is on “advanced topics” in imaginal and in vivo exposure techniques to help trainees advance their PE skills to the next level. We take a deeper dive into each modality – in vivo in the morning and imaginal in the afternoon – and Dr. Michael provides more in-depth training into Veteran-specific applications of PE.

To date, Dr. Michael has conducted 8 PE trainings for VTSC which have all received strong reviews.
