Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a short-term behavioral intervention, based on imaginal and in-vivo exposure and psychodynamic reprocessing, works on alleviating Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms in adults. The trial will also learn about patterns of recovery and relapse by following the patients for up to five years. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the reconsolidation-based short-term intervention help alleviate PTSD symptoms? How is it affecting other mental health issues (such as depression, sleep problems, and general functioning)? What is the long-term effect of the intervention? Researchers will compare this behavioral intervention to a waiting list, for up to three months. People on the waiting list will then be able to cross over to the treatment arm as well. Participants will: Be screened by a clinical psychologist Take the week-long intensive behavioral intervention (psychotherapy) Followed at the end of treatment (day 7), at 30 and 90 days, and every 6 months, up to five years. Wearable devices will be used during the week before treatment, during treatment, and up to 30 days following the end of treatment.
