PE Coach

If you are a Soldier, Sailor, Airman, or Marine or Veteran experiencing difficulties due to a traumaticexperience (for example, combat, deployment experience, or sexual assault), the PE Coach mobileapplication (app) may be part of the solution. PE Coach is designed to be used during psychotherapyprovided by a behavioral health professional who is trained in Prolonged Exposure (PE) therapy. Byitself this smartphone app is not sufficient to treat posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). PE Coach isnot a self-help tool. However, military Veterans, Service members, and others with symptoms of PTSDwho are receiving PE treatment can work together with their therapist to use the tools in this appduring PE therapy to process the traumatic experience and reduce anxiety and fear.
The app will guide you through the exercises assigned by your therapist and allows you to track andrecord your progress in treatment. In addition, the app provides you with techniques such as controlledbreathing that will help you tolerate and decrease your distress. PE Coach will help you remember andtrack your upcoming therapy sessions. You and your therapist will be able to audio record your sessionsdirectly onto your phone so that you can review them later as part of your treatment.

This app is based on the Oxford University Press treatment workbook for PE, “Reclaiming your LifeFrom a Traumatic Experience”. The app was designed with military Service members in mind but will beuseful to any trauma survivor participating in PE treatment.

I am active duty military with combat related ptsd, my psychiatrist recommended this app so we could do prolonged exposure therapy and I have had no issues with this app. O have recorded several sesions in therapy with no issues, also thanks to all those who have served.

Using galaxy S5 and having same problems other Android users are experiencing. Cannot isolate imagininal, and playback of entire session cannot be paused and plays when closed. So much for privacy...

It was a very helpful app that the VA required me to use for a particular therapy three years ago. I never had any issues with it.

Has alot of glitches. Needs an option to go back a view the in vivo SUDS. Also the playback in imaginal exposure is not working. And the play back on the entire session keeps playing when the app is closed out. I have the galaxy s5

Good tool to have!

I have been using this in my therapy sessions for about 1 yr and 6 months. It helps me to process more of what was said in the session, afterwards. Sometimes during the sessions I hear what my therapist is saying, but don't fully catch it or know how to make it work, being ale to relisten to the session helps me with that.

I've made substantial progress since I started using this app.

This app is essential for returning troops, like myself. I love the app and it has helped tremendously, but while progressing through the treatment I wanted to delete items that I have worked through. The app doesn't allow you to delete items from the InVivo hierarchy. Please add this in your next update.

I use this app for PTSD and I am now on session 3 but there isn't a session 3 in the app I have

Every time i've tried to use this, it always gives me the error message, PE Coach has stopped working. Never could get this app to work.

Pretty awful app. I am currently going through PE therapy for ptsd and have had multiple problems with this app. It is very clunky for what it does. I usually delete apps that have this problem for fear of what is going on in the back ground. Also I had to replace my phone and the new installation wouldn't recognize the recorded files I transfered. Then when I tried to get to the session I was on, it wanted me to go through all the previous sessions again. I just used a voice recorder app from then on.

Used session record feature for first session...did not record. Checked for update or fix, none found, deleted app. This app needs some serious work to catch up to newer phones. Appears to work on much older phones from what I see in reviews.
