First-line psychotherapeutic treatments for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can be effective, but these typically require a large time commitment from clients and often involve homework outside of therapy sessions.

WET can be completed in less than half the time as CPT and does not require homework to be completed between sessions.
