What is trauma? Signs and symptoms of PTSD
PTSD stands for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and is defined by both incident AND impact. Mental health professionals think of trauma and PTSD as being a psychological injury in the sense that an outside event has occurred, and it has caused a shift in the way our brain perceives the world and physiologically activates or deactivates certain things in the body.

1. What is a skillful approach to trauma recovery using DBT skills?
2. What is DBT prolonged exposure (DBT PE)? How is it applied? How is it functional?
