Cognitive Processing Therapy
(CPT) 

Welcome to our comprehensive guide to Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), a specialized therapeutic approach designed for individuals who have endured various traumatic events and are currently grappling with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). CPT stands as a beacon of hope, offering a structured, evidence-based model geared towards reducing the debilitating symptoms of PTSD by methodically challenging and reframing unhelpful beliefs.

​

Why Cognitive Processing Therapy​?

​

Targeting Trauma Survivors

CPT has been meticulously developed to address the unique needs of individuals who have weathered a spectrum of traumatic experiences, leaving an indelible mark on their psychological well-being. Tailored to the intricacies of PTSD, this therapeutic approach recognizes the far-reaching impact that trauma can have on an individual's thoughts, emotions, and overall quality of life.

 

A Structured and Evidence-Based Model

At the heart of CPT is a structured and evidence-based model, grounded in years of research and clinical experience. This model provides a roadmap for therapeutic intervention, ensuring a systematic and effective approach to alleviating the distressing symptoms associated with PTSD. The structured nature of CPT fosters clarity, predictability, and, ultimately, progress in the healing journey.

​

What are the Core Principals of CPT?

​

Challenging Unhelpful Beliefs

CPT operates on the premise that the aftermath of trauma often gives rise to unhelpful beliefs about oneself, others, and the world. These beliefs, while adaptive during the traumatic event, can become barriers to healing and recovery. CPT involves identifying and systematically challenging these beliefs, promoting cognitive restructuring that opens the door to new, healthier perspectives.

​

Processing Traumatic Memories

A cornerstone of CPT is the focused processing of traumatic memories. The therapy provides a safe and supportive environment for individuals to revisit and reevaluate their experiences. Through this process, individuals gain a deeper understanding of the impact of trauma on their beliefs and emotions, paving the way for a gradual resolution and integration of these memories.
