This trial is testing a new therapy approach called PATH-SS (Positive Processes and Transition to Health – Single-Session) designed to help adults recover from trauma and depression following sexual assault. The treatment is delivered in just one 2-hour session and combines talking about what happened with focusing on positive memories and experiences. Researchers want to see if this single-session approach can significantly reduce symptoms of PTSD and depression.
Many survivors of sexual assault struggle with lasting trauma and depression, but traditional therapy can require many months of weekly sessions. This trial exists to test whether a carefully designed single-session treatment could offer faster, more accessible help for people who need it.
