The project aims to investigate a strategy that is proposed to reduce post-traumatic stress symptom transmission between those who talk about negative events and those who listen to the event being shared. The strategy involves reducing or withholding aversive details when talking about the experience. We aim to investigate whether people can successfully use this strategy while talking to a listener over a phone call, as well as whether this strategy affects the sharer's post-traumatic stress symptoms.
