Participants should be over 18 years of age, meet diagnostic criteria of full PTSD or subthreshold PTSD specified by the DSM-5. Participants will also need access to a computer or phone with data plan to access the study materials and video call for assessment and therapy sessions.
Participants who do not meet the subthreshold criteria (e.g., PCL score of below 24) are not eligible to participate. Individuals with high risk of harm including significant suicidality or ongoing abuse, substance dependence, unmanaged psychosis or bipolar disorder, and significant cognitive impairment will be excluded from the study on the basis that they should have sufficient level of functioning to participate in the study. Those engaged in concurrent and regular therapy for anxiety/trauma will also be ineligible. Those undertaking medication changes will need to undergo a one-month stabilisation period before pretreatment assessment.
