PTSD has an emotional impact on individuals, but it is also associated with impaired cognitive functioning (e.g., processing speed, attention, executive functioning). This study is an effectiveness trial investigating a cognitive remediation intervention (Goal Management Training, or GMT) that has been shown to improve the cognitive impairment observed in other populations (e.g., older adults). The present study will investigate the impact of GMT in adults experiencing PTSD (including frontline healthcare workers suffering from PTSD related to the COVID-19 pandemic) and its associated cognitive impairment. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment conditions - GMT, or a wait list condition (in which GMT will be postponed for approximately 21 weeks). Due to the pandemic, this study will be conducted primarily online (i.e., online assessments and treatment, with optional fMRI scans - functional magnetic resonance imaging). Once all assessments are complete, participants in the wait list condition will be able to begin GMT thelmselves.
