CPT stands for Cognitive Processing Therapy.
Essentially, it breaks down into four components of, education.
Then we want to examine the trauma itself,
so it's a writing therapy,
we'll have you write out that trauma.
Then we examine the thinking that's behind keeping you stuck
in that trauma or in those emotions.
And then we want to look at some of the very basic components
of PTSD in your life: safety, trust, power, control, esteem,
and intimacy, and we address all of those
in Cognitive Processing Therapy and help you understand
that there is gray in your life,
that not everything is as black and white
as trauma makes it seem.
And once we've done that and you've obtained these new skills,
you'll find out that your life opens up and new opportunities
to experience things come to you.
