Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
Overview
CPT is a structured, evidence-based therapy designed to help individuals understand and reframe thoughts and beliefs that persist after trauma. It supports emotional clarity and helps individuals examine the ways trauma has impacted their perceptions of safety, trust, and self-worth. The therapy offers a systematic path toward regaining a sense of control and emotional stability.
Patient Experience
Individuals often choose CPT when trauma-related memories, guilt, or confusion feel difficult to move past. The approach provides a compassionate and steady framework for processing painful experiences in a manageable way. CPT supports the rebuilding of emotional strength and helps individuals form more adaptive interpretations of past events.
