Deep Insight Into This System PE Coach 2

PE Coach is designed to be used during therapy for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) with a health professional who is trained in Prolonged Exposure (PE) therapy. The app will guide you through the exercises assigned by your therapist and allows you to track and record your progress. In addition, the app provides techniques such as controlled breathing that will help you tolerate and decrease your distress. PE Coach will help you remember and track your upcoming therapy sessions. You will be able to audio record your sessions directly onto your phone so you can review them later as part of your treatment.

By itself this app is not sufficient to treat PTSD. However, those who are receiving PE treatment can work together with their therapist to use the tools in this app.

PE Coach was created by VA’s National Center for PTSD.
PE Coach is for use with Prolonged Exposure therapy for PTSD with a therapist.

You have to keep your screen active while it's processing the audio recording which takes forever. I don't know why something like that would take so long however since the recording is stored internally on your device. I'm pretty sure you can also save over a session by accident as well. All in all the app was designed horribly when it comes to actually using it. The UI is mostly fine, just the recordings are terrible. Out of my 8 sessions only 3 of them saved properly

This is a great app for Prolonged Exposure Therapy! It's easy to use, easy to follow, has all the instructions my Therapist emails me, allows me to create accurate next appointments, sync's with the homework & assessments, and allows recordings of the sessions!!! The only thing missing is a way for my Therapist to get my progress.🤔 There should be a way to send updates or give the provider access. 😕

While it started out looking like a great app, but it quickly went down hill. Reasons: . If an error is detected after being marked completed, it cannot be corrected. . Cannot upload or download imaginal into and out of recorded session to save phone space. . Cannot delete erroneous data in in vivo. .If the therapist changes the next appointment to an earlier date, user is unable to change the appointment because the dates between the last and next appointments are grayed out. This could be a really good and helpful app if the user had more control over the entries (e.g. if a veteran wakes up in the middle of the night and goes back to bed at a later time, it is difficult to start a new entry for the same date). The app should be more user friendly.
