Cognitive Processing Therapy is one of the therapies
that we provide here at the VA.
CPT includes things like talking about the event
that you went through in an overview and then
really taking a close look at the thoughts that you have
about yourself and about the world since that event happened.
Many common thoughts that Veterans with PTSD have
are thoughts that the world is a dangerous place all the time,
the thought that people can't be trusted,
the thought that the Veteran, he or she themselves,
cannot do what's needed in a situation.
And so CPT can help someone monitor and change their
thoughts over time in a way that's going to help them out.
