The TRGI distress subscale is made up of 6 items (e.g., "I experience severe emotional distress when I think about what happened"). Respondents rate each statement using a 5-point Likert scale to indicate the degree to which they believe the statement is true about themselves (i.e., Extremely True=4, Very True=3, Somewhat True=2, Slightly True=1, or Never True=0). The items are summed and divided by 6 to create an average score raging from 0-4 with higher scores reflecting higher levels of distress.

The TRSI is a 24-item self-report measure assessing trauma-related shame on a 4-point Likert scale (Not true of me=0, Somewhat true of me=1, Mostly true of me=2, Completely true of me=3). A total shame score is summed ranging from 0-72 which higher scores reflecting a greater level of trauma-related shame.

The Clinician Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5 (CAPS-5) is a semi-structured interview used to assess PTSD diagnostic criteria and severity. The CAPS assesses each of the 20 items from the DSM-5 criteria B, C, D, and E. The assessor combines information about frequency and intensity of an item into a single severity rating (0=Absent; 1=Mild/subthreshold; 2=Moderate/threshold; 3=Severe/markedly elevated; 4=Extreme/incapacitating). CAPS-5 total symptom severity score is calculated by summing severity scores for the 20 DSM-5 PTSD symptoms (range = 0-80). Similarly, CAPS-5 symptom cluster severity scores are calculated by summing the individual item severity scores for symptoms corresponding to a given DSM-5 cluster: Criterion B (items 1-5); Criterion C (items 6-7); Criterion D (items 8-14); and, Criterion E (items 15-20). Higher scores indicate worse PTSD symptoms.

The Timeline Follow-back (TLFB) is a drinking assessment method that obtains estimates of daily drinking. The TLFB evaluates alcohol and other substance use during the previous 90 days. Using a calendar, people provide retrospective estimates of their daily drinking over a specified time period. The TLFB was used to establish: days respondents used alcohol.

Clinician Administered PTSD Scale for DSM-5 (CAPS-5; range 0-80; higher scores indicate worse PTSD) was administered to assess diagnostic criteria for PTSD . Participants must meet criteria on this measure, considered the "gold standard" for PTSD diagnosis, to be eligible for the study. Participants must also have a total score of 23 or greater, which constitutes at least a moderate (or clinically significant) level of symptom severity. The follow-up version will be used at post-treatment and at 1-month follow-up as a primary measure of outcome.

The PCL-5 is a 20-item self-report measure that assesses DSM-5 symptoms of PTSD and PTSD symptom severity on a 5-point scale. The self-report rating scale is 0-4 for each symptom, from "Not at all" to "Extremely." A total symptom severity score (range - 0-80) can be obtained by summing the scores for each of the 20 items. DSM-5 symptom cluster severity scores can be obtained by summing the scores for the items within a given cluster, i.e., cluster B (items 1-5), cluster C (items 6-7), cluster D (items 8-14), and cluster E (items 15-20). Higher scores indicate worse PTSD symptoms.

The TRGI distress subscale is made up of 6 items (e.g., "I experience severe emotional distress when I think about what happened"). Respondents rate each statement using a 5-point Likert scale to indicate the degree to which they believe the statement is true about themselves (i.e., Extremely True=4, Very True=3, Somewhat True=2, Slightly True=1, or Never True=0). The items are summed and divided by 6 to create an average score raging from 0-4 with higher scores reflecting higher levels of distress.

The TRGI global guilt subscale is made up of 4 items (e.g., "I experience intense guilt that relates to what happened"). Respondents rate each statement using a 5-point Likert scale to indicate the degree to which they believe the statement is true about themselves (i.e., Extremely True=4, Very True=3, Somewhat True=2, Slightly True=1, or Never True=0). Items are summed (with three of the items being reverse scored) and divided by 4 to create an average score (range 0-4). Higher scores reflect higher levels of global guilt.

The TRGI guilt cognitions subscale is 22 items (e.g., "What I did was unforgivable"). Respondents rate each statement using a 5-point Likert scale to indicate the degree to which they believe the statement is true about themselves (i.e., Extremely True=4, Very True=3, Somewhat True=2, Slightly True=1, or Never True=0). Items are summed (with four of the items being reverse scored) and divided by 22 to create an average score (range 0-4). Higher scores reflect increased severity of guilt cognitions.

The TRSI is a 24-item self-report measure assessing trauma-related shame on a 4-point Likert scale (Not true of me=0, Somewhat true of me=1, Mostly true of me=2, Completely true of me=3). A total shame score is summed ranging from 0-72 which higher scores reflecting a greater level of trauma-related shame.

The SCS is a 26-item self-report questionnaire that measures the cognitions and emotions associated with compassionate and uncompassionate responses to feelings of personal inadequacy and general life difficulties. Scores for negative items representing uncompassionate self-responding are reverse-coded to indicate their absence. Responses are given on a 5-point scale from "1-Almost Never" to "5-Almost Always." A total mean score is generated with higher scores corresponding to greater levels of self-compassion. Consider scores 1.0-2.49=low, between 2.5-3.5= moderate, and 3.51-5.0=high.

The Self-Compassion Scale (SCS) is a 26-item self-report questionnaire that measures the cognitions and emotions associated with compassionate and uncompassionate responses to feelings of personal inadequacy and general life difficulties. Scores for negative items representing uncompassionate self-responding are reverse-coded to indicate their absence. Responses are given on a 5-point scale from "1-Almost Never" to "5-Almost Always." A total mean score is generated with higher scores corresponding to higher levels of self-compassion. Consider scores 1.0-2.49 to be low, between 2.5-3.5 to be moderate, and 3.51-5.0 to be high.

The investigators examined clinically meaningful change among treatment completers with complete pre- and post-treatment data using the standard error of measurement for the total self-compassion score on the SCS. The investigators defined meaningful change as a reduction in scores by at least one SEM. The mean difference from baseline to one-month follow-up was calculated.
