Virtual Trauma Sensitive Yoga Intervention Reduces Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, Depression, and Anxiety Symptoms Among Women Survivors of Sexual Trauma: A Pilot Study
Overall, results from this study provide preliminary but promising evidence that a brief telehealth intervention can contribute to measurable improvements in trauma-related outcomes for underserved women. Given the affordability and accessibility of virtual TCTSY relative to other trauma interventions, these findings may hold important implications for public health and healthcare policy, including support for bolstered virtual healthcare infrastructure and the integration of trauma-informed yoga interventions into outpatient mental healthcare practices.
