Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)

I have used CPT for over 10 years for clients suffering from trauma. The client reflects on how post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has impacted their life, and they then identify the beliefs they developed about key areas in their life. We then consider alternative ways of thinking to change the beliefs. CPT addresses how trauma has affected our beliefs about safety, self-esteem, trust, power/control, and intimacy.
