Short-term treatment for TSDs can be an effective way to reduce symptoms and improve quality of life. Two effective short-term treatments for TSDs are cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR).

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT is a type of talk therapy that helps people to identify and change negative thoughts and behaviors that are contributing to their PTSD symptoms. CBT typically involves 12-16 sessions and can be conducted individually or in a group setting.

In CBT for PTSD, the therapist will help the person to:

Identify the thoughts and beliefs that are contributing to their symptoms
Challenge these thoughts and beliefs and develop more positive and realistic ones
Develop coping mechanisms to manage PTSD symptoms

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR is a type of therapy that uses eye movements to help people to process traumatic memories. EMDR typically involves 8-12 sessions and can be conducted individually or in a group setting.

In EMDR for PTSD, the therapist will guide the person through a series of eye movements while they recall the traumatic memory. The eye movements help to activate the brain's natural healing mechanisms and to process the memory in a way that reduces its emotional impact.
