Cognitive
Processing Therapy (CPT) is a widely used evidence-based treatment for
post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and related symptoms. Developed by Dr.
Patricia Resick and colleagues, CPT is grounded in cognitive-behavioral
principles and aims to help individuals understand and change unhelpful beliefs
and thoughts related to their traumatic experiences. The therapy typically
involves structured sessions where clients learn to identify and challenge
cognitive distortions, such as self-blame or exaggerated beliefs about danger,
that contribute to their distress. Through various techniques, including
Socratic questioning, writing assignments, and behavioral experiments, clients
gradually develop more adaptive ways of thinking about themselves and their
traumatic experiences. CPT also emphasizes the importance of emotional
processing and encourages clients to confront and process their emotions
related to the trauma. By addressing both cognitive and emotional aspects of
trauma, CPT helps individuals reduce symptoms, improve coping skills, and
reclaim a sense of control over their lives.
