This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
The MIRROR study is testing a new two-part approach to help female veterans heal from multiple types of trauma. You would either use an online program called webSTAIR to learn emotion-management skills followed by exposure therapy, or receive psychoeducation sessions followed by exposure therapy. Both groups receive the same second half of treatment; the study compares which first step works better.
Female veterans who have experienced military sexual trauma, domestic violence, or brain injury often struggle with all three at once, and current treatments don't adequately address this combination. This study aims to test whether adding online emotion-regulation training before therapy leads to better and longer-lasting results.

If you join, you'll be randomly assigned to one of two groups. Both groups receive 10 weeks of treatment: 5 weeks of either online emotion-management training (webSTAIR) or educational sessions, followed by 5 weeks of exposure therapy with a therapist to help you process traumatic memories. You'll also complete assessments before treatment, after treatment, and 3 months later to measure how much your symptoms improve.
