What Is Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)?

CPT is a structured, evidence-based therapy designed to help you address and process traumatic experiences. Trauma can distort the way you see yourself, others, and the world, leaving you feeling unsafe, unworthy, or stuck in patterns of fear or anger. CPT helps you identify these unhelpful thoughts and beliefs and replace them with perspectives that promote healing and growth.

In other words, CPT helps you rewrite the story of your trauma so it no longer defines your life.

How Does CPT Work?

CPT focuses on understanding how trauma has shaped your thinking and helping you challenge and shift unhelpful patterns. The process typically involves:

1. Identifying the Impact of Trauma: Exploring how your thoughts about the trauma affect your emotions and behaviors.

2. Challenging Unhelpful Beliefs: Examining thoughts like “It was my fault” or “I can’t trust anyone” and replacing them with healthier perspectives.

3. Reframing Your Story: Making peace with the past and creating a more balanced, empowered view of yourself and the world.

With CPT, you’ll learn practical tools to manage distressing thoughts, reduce emotional pain, and regain control over your life.

Who Can Benefit From CPT?

CPT is highly effective for:

• PTSD: Healing from traumatic events like abuse, accidents, or violence.

• Complex Trauma: Processing ongoing or childhood trauma.

• Negative Self-Beliefs: Overcoming guilt, shame, or feelings of inadequacy linked to trauma.

• Relationship Challenges: Addressing the impact of trauma on trust and connection with others.

If you feel stuck in the past or find yourself reliving painful memories, CPT can help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
