Tackling Intrusive Traumatic Memories After Childbirth

"The intervention is composed of two tasks:~1. The childbirth narration task (8-10 min.): To trigger the malleability of the traumatic childbirth memory through memory reactivation, a psychologist will ask the participants to briefly narrate their childbirth and the moment associated with their most frequent or distressing CB-ITM. This intervention part will take place on the maternity ward to use this context as a reactivation cue.~2. The visuospatial task (3 min. practice + 20 min. gameplay): Participants will be instructed to engage in a Tetris gameplay for 20 minutes on a handheld gaming device (Nintendo 3DS), which is assumed to disrupt memory reconsolidation. This part of the intervention will take place in a neutral room."
