Trauma Informed Guilt Reduction Therapy

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Guilt, Shame, Post-traumatic Stress Disorders

In brief

The goal of this project is to determine if a 6-session psychotherapy intervention will help Veterans feel less deployment-related guilt and less distress related to their guilt. Half of the participants will receive the guilt focused intervention and half will receive a supportive intervention. A supplemental pilot study added in FY2021 will examine the intervention for pandemic-related guilt events.
