The datasets described here comprise electroencephalog-
raphy (EEG) data and psychometric data freely avail-
able on data.mendeley.com. The EEG data is available
in .mat formatted files containing the EEG signal values
structured in two-dimensional (2D) matrices, with chan-
nel data and trigger information in rows, and samples
in columns (having a sampling rate of 250Hz). Twenty-
nine female survivors of the 1994 genocide against the
Tutsi in Rwanda, underwent a psychological assessment be-
fore and after an intervention aimed at reducing Post-
Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptom severity. Three
measures of trauma and four measures of wellbeing were as-
sessed using empirically validated standardised assessments.
