CPT (Cognitive Processing Therapy)

Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is a type of talk therapy designed to help people overcome the effects of trauma, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It focuses on changing negative thought patterns that can arise after a traumatic event. Through structured sessions, individuals learn to identify, challenge, and reframe these thoughts, helping them understand and cope with their experiences better. CPT often involves writing about the trauma and discussing feelings related to it, promoting healing and emotional resilience. The goal is to empower individuals to regain control over their thoughts and feelings, leading to improved mental health.
