Active stimulation
For active tDCS, the investigators will use a 1x1 configuration with the anode placed over EEG coordinates AF7/Fp1/AF3 (using the 10-20 EEG convention) and the cathode between EEG coordinate OZ and the contralateral mastoid (covering approximately PO8/P8). The investigators will use 3x3 cm sponge covered electrodes and a 2mA current for 25 minutes per session.
Sham stimulation
For sham tDCS, the investigators will use the same electrode and sponge configuration as active tDCS, but using the device study mode (10 µA over 15 ms current pulse applied every 550 ms, 3ms peak current).
Virtual Reality (VR)
Participants will undergo VR exposure to trauma-related context.
