Sample input
I'm reviewing whether to shift from supportive and stabilization-focused treatment to a trauma-focused psychotherapy for a de-identified adult outpatient. Trauma symptoms, avoidance, poor sleep, and work impairment remain significant after four months. I'm comparing cognitive processing therapy, prolonged exposure, EMDR, and continued stabilization with reassessment. The client wants structured treatment but worries about becoming overwhelmed.

There is no current acute safety crisis, but dissociation needs further assessment. Search through September 22, 2026, and prepare the decision before the next scheduled session.
