Introduction to Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD: An Evidence-Based Treatment

Are you looking to improve your therapeutic approach to PTSD for clients with high levels of avoidance? Start here.

Discover how Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) offers a structured, compassionate alternative to prolonged exposure therapy, especially for patients grappling with high levels of avoidance and control needs.

Key Highlights:
CPT vs. Prolonged Exposure: Learn why CPT is more approachable for patients with avoidance and control issues, focusing on thoughts and interpretations rather than reliving traumatic events.
Identifying Stuck Points: Understand how CPT differentiates natural emotions from manufactured ones and uses Socratic questioning to uncover maladaptive thoughts that sustain PTSD.
Psychoeducation and Avoidance: Gain insights into educating patients about PTSD symptom clusters and the importance of therapy attendance in reducing avoidance behaviors and progressing in recovery.
