Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is a structured, evidence-based therapy designed to help individuals process and recover from trauma by challenging and modifying unhelpful beliefs related to the traumatic event. It helps reduce trauma-related symptoms, improve emotional regulation, and promote adaptive thinking. Sessions typically involve cognitive restructuring, written narratives, discussion of trauma-related thoughts, and guided processing of emotions and beliefs. The goal is to support healing, reduce distress, and enhance coping skills following trauma.
