PE Coach

工具，幫助您的智能手機長時間暴露療法。

If you are a Soldier, Sailor, Airman, or Marine or Veteran experiencing difficulties due to a traumatic

experience (for example, combat, deployment experience, or sexual assault), the PE Coach mobile

application (app) may be part of the solution. PE Coach is designed to be used during psychotherapy

provided by a behavioral health professional who is trained in Prolonged Exposure (PE) therapy. By

itself this smartphone app is not sufficient to treat posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). PE Coach is

not a self-help tool. However, military Veterans, Service members, and others with symptoms of PTSD

who are receiving PE treatment can work together with their therapist to use the tools in this app

during PE therapy to process the traumatic experience and reduce anxiety and fear.

The app will guide you through the exercises assigned by your therapist and allows you to track and

record your progress in treatment. In addition, the app provides you with techniques such as controlled

breathing that will help you tolerate and decrease your distress. PE Coach will help you remember and

track your upcoming therapy sessions. You and your therapist will be able to audio record your sessions

directly onto your phone so that you can review them later as part of your treatment.

This app is based on the Oxford University Press treatment workbook for PE, “Reclaiming your Life

From a Traumatic Experience”. The app was designed with military Service members in mind but will be

useful to any trauma survivor participating in PE treatment.
