Digital program for painful memories after trauma
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a computer-based program designed to help reduce intrusive (unwanted, recurring) memories that occur after traumatic events. The program uses evidence-based techniques to help your brain process trauma memories so they bother you less.
