Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) develops following exposure to actual or threatened death, serious injury, or sexual violence, characterized by four primary symptom clusters: Intrusions (flashbacks, nightmares), Avoidance (internal thoughts or external trauma reminders), Negative Alterations in Cognition and Mood (survivor guilt, foreshortened future, pervasive distrust), and Hyperarousal (exaggerated startle response, hypervigilance, insomnia). Grounded in Edna Foa’s Emotional Processing Theory (1986) and Bessel van der Kolk’s somatic trauma neuroscience, traumatic memory remains fragmented in the limbic system rather than integrated into autobiographical memory. The Trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Psychoeducation Module<\/strong> provides 24 structured video lessons covering trauma neurobiology, Prolonged Exposure, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and EMDR.<\/p>\n
