Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
Did you know that trauma can disrupt the way we think and feel? Unresolved trauma has the potential to cause one to have negative beliefs and emotions that can be difficult to overcome.
What is Cognitive Processing Therapy?
Cognitive processing therapy (CPT) is a therapeutic approach that helps individuals overcome negative thoughts and emotions that may arise as a result of trauma. CPT can also help clients develop coping strategies and overcome trauma-related distress. Cognitive processing therapy can be beneficial for individuals who have experienced a range of traumas, including sexual assault, military combat, and other traumatic events.
Cognitive processing therapy is a type of therapy that is designed to help individuals overcome negative thoughts and emotions that can arise after experiencing a traumatic event. It is based on the understanding that trauma can disrupt the way we think and feel, leading to negative beliefs and emotions that can be difficult to overcome.
How Does Cognitive Processing Therapy Work?
Cognitive processing therapy typically involves 12 weekly sessions with a trained therapist. During these sessions, the therapist will work with the client to identify the negative beliefs and emotions that are associated with the trauma. The therapist will then help the client develop coping strategies and challenge these negative beliefs, replacing them with more positive, adaptive thoughts and emotions.
