General Treatment Options for PTSD:

2. Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) (teaches reframing of negative thoughts surrounding the trauma itself, Invovles talking and writing about experiences)

3. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) (involves following a back and forth movement with the eyes as you talk about trauma, aids in processing of the events )

4. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) (MRI level electromagnetic radiation is sent to target regions of the brain to reconnect proper connections that may have been altered due to trauma)
