This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a short form of Prolonged Exposure Therapy—a counseling approach where you talk through your trauma with a trained therapist—can help prevent PTSD and other mental health problems after a serious injury. You would receive three one-hour therapy sessions in addition to your regular medical care. Researchers want to see if this early intervention reduces anxiety, depression, and stress symptoms over the next six months.
Many people who survive serious injuries go on to develop PTSD, depression, and chronic anxiety that can last years. This trial is testing whether offering therapy early—while you're still in the hospital—can prevent these long-term mental health problems before they take root.

If you're randomly assigned to the therapy group, you'll receive three one-hour sessions with a trained therapist (in addition to all your regular hospital care) where you'll talk through your injury experience. If you're assigned to the comparison group, you'll receive standard care only. Everyone will answer questions about their mood, anxiety, pain, and daily life at follow-up visits at 1, 3, and 6 months after your injury to measure how well you're recovering.
