G-WET
Group-delivered guided written exposure therapy-revised version
Group-Delivered guided WET-R (G-WET) is a manualized exposure-based therapy program consisting of 5-8 sequential sessions. The interval between every 2 consecutive sessions is 0-2 days. There will be 5-8 group-delivered sessions in total (only one index trauma will be discussed), and 1-2 weeks to complete.The first and last sessions are scheduled to last for 1.5 hours each, while the other sessions will be 50 minutes in duration.
Waiting-List (WL) condition
Waiting-List (WL) condition
Participants assigned to WL will be asked to not work with other therapists or seek additional treatment for trauma-related difficulties during the 2-week WL period. After the one-month follow-up of the WET-R group, they will receive the same treatment (Group-Delivered guided written exposure therapy-revised version).WL participants will also be given contact information to use in case of worsening symptoms or increasing distress.
