FAQs
Stress Inoculation Therapy (SIT) is a psychotherapy method intended to help patients prepare themselves in advance to handle stressful events successfully and with a minimum of upset. It has improved the ability of people with anxiety and PTSD to manage their symptoms when encountering triggers.
Stress inoculation training includes three distinct phases: the conceptualization phase, the skills acquisition and rehearsal phase, and the application and follow-through phase. These phases include techniques like deep muscle relaxation, cognitive restructuring, breathing exercises, assertiveness skills, thought stopping, role playing, and guided self-dialogue.
In most cases, Stress Inoculation Therapy consists of 8 to 15 sessions, plus booster and follow-up sessions, conducted over a 3-to-12-month period. One session per week is the standard practice. Incase of severity, biweekly sessions can be considered.
