Summary
This study tests a digital therapy that combines unconscious exposure to trauma-related images with bilateral eye movements to reduce intrusive memories in people with PTSD. About 123 participants who experience at least 5 intrusive memories per week will be randomly assigned to one of three groups. The goal is to see if this less distressing approach can lower the number of intrusive memories and improve PTSD symptoms.
