Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • All participants must have been directly or indirectly exposed to a Criterion A trauma, as defined by the DSM\-5 and meet diagnostic criteria for PTSD or sub\-threshold PTSD (APA, 2013\). In the current study sub\-threshold PTSD is defined as meeting 3 of 4 Criteria B\-E, in addition to meeting Criteria F\-H on the CAPS\-5\. Due to the online nature of the study, participants must have regular and secure access to a computer with a webcam and enough internet data to support video calls with a therapist.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Exclusion criteria for the study include scoring a sub\-clinical level of PTSD as indicated by a cut off of 30 or below on the PCL\-5 (as recommended by Weathers, Litz, Keane, Palmieri, Marx, \& Schnurr, 2013\). Additional exclusion criteria include illiteracy, current uncontrolled psychosis or substance dependence requiring supervised medical withdrawal, and/or significant cognitive impairment. These criteria are on the basis that individuals need to have a sufficient level of functioning to be able to participate in therapy. Further, individuals with a significant risk of harm (e.g., in a current abusive relationship or suicidality with intent) will be excluded as it is recommended that they engage in treatment to help minimise these risks before receiving treatment for PTSD.
