Interventions
The goal of EAET is to increase awareness of uncomfortable emotions that are often linked to stressful past experiences (e.g., anger, sadness, fear) and learn adaptive ways to experience and express those emotions, in a safe and controlled environment. Core treatment components include pain education, drawing associations between the experience of pain and emotion, and experiencing and expressing emotions via imaginary, in vivo, and real life exposures. EAET will be delivered via 8, 60-minute, weekly psychotherapy visits.
