This edition features an interview with Dr. Barbara Rothbaum, director of the Trauma and Anxiety Recovery Program at the Emory University School of Medicine, who discusses research investigating Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy as a treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder for service members. This therapy involves recounting the experience out loud while the therapist attempts to match the virtual reality environment to the description. Through repetition, the memory becomes less painful and causes less disruption in daily activities and sleep. Lt. Col. Timothy Lacy, chief of Telehealth and Enterprise Imaging for the U.S. Air Force Medical Service, will discuss how this therapy is being utilized by Air Force mental health professionals. Hosted by Dr. John Ohab
