# Prolonged Exposure Protocol A structured, evidence-based macro-level treatment framework for PTSD involving repeated imaginal and in vivo exposure to trauma memories and avoided stimuli. ## Prompt Deliver as a manualized 8–15 session protocol: begin with psychoeducation and breathing retraining; conduct imaginal exposure (recounting trauma aloud with present-tense detail) for 30–45 min per session, followed by processing; assign in vivo exposure homework targeting real-world avoided situations; review adherence and distress ratings weekly; monitor habituation across sessions using SUDS. Maintain fidelity via session checklists and audio review. ## Objective Reduce PTSD symptoms through habituation and emotional processing of trauma memories ## Applicable Signals - Client reports persistent avoidance of trauma reminders - Client endorses intrusive memories or flashbacks - Client shows physiological reactivity during trauma narrative ## Contraindications - Active suicidal ideation without safety plan - Acute dissociation or psychosis - Client refuses exposure components ## Intervention Moves - Psychoeducation about PTSD and PE rationale - Breathing retraining for arousal regulation

What does the Prolonged Exposure Protocol skill do?
A structured, evidence-based macro-level treatment framework for PTSD involving repeated imaginal and in vivo exposure to trauma memories and avoided stimuli.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add ECNU-ICALK/AutoSkill --skill Prolonged Exposure Protocol --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From ECNU-ICALK/AutoSkill, a repository with 539 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
