Enduring intensity for healing: the patient perspective of intensive outpatient treatment for PTSD
Participants described the iPE experience as intense and demanding, yet transformative and worthwhile in the interviews. These findings highlight the complex and multifaceted experiences of patients undergoing PE delivered in an intensive format. The findings could offer valuable insights for designing more well-received PTSD treatments, leading to enhancements in the overall quality of intensified treatment approaches.
