Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Portia received prolonged exposure therapy, which is a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy that involves repeatedly and systematically exposing the individual to the memory of the traumatic event until it no longer causes distress. This is typically done through imaginal exposure (narrating and reviewing the trauma) and/or in vivo exposure (gradual real-life exposure to trauma reminders).
