How is it going? Whether we have a difficult work situation, a relationship issue, struggles with life changes, caught in the cycle of addiction, unresolved childhood trauma, or feel just plain stuck, the anxiety and depression that result can leave us feeling overwhelmed. Sometimes we have no idea what is happening, but certain things just seem to trigger panic or reactions we do not fully understand. Other times, finding the motivation to get out of bed in the morning is a major effort. Old and familiar ways of getting though these challenges no longer work. Something must change, but what and how?

Are you a high-achiever, feel an overwhelming urge to make everything perfect, and/or please everyone? These traits have benefits, to be sure, but they can be part of bigger issues. Perhaps you are struggling with disordered eating or body image distress. You feel overwhelmed by daily stressors, hoping that changing your body will make you feel better, more worthy, and more in control. Do you fear change because you feel like there is no other way, or maybe you've tried before and failed? If any of this sounds familiar then you are in the right place.

Cognitive Processing (CPT) Therapists

How does cognitive processing therapy work?

A CPT therapist helps a client evaluate their thoughts about the trauma they experienced, focusing on maladaptive or self-blaming thoughts that can exacerbate symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, or depression. The therapist will work with a client to help them learn to challenge such thoughts and consider different perspectives. The therapist is also likely to ask a client to work on these techniques at home between meetings, such as writing an account of their trauma that can be read aloud during a future session.

What is cognitive processing therapy for PTSD?

Cognitive processing therapy (CPT) is a form of cognitive-behavioral therapy primarily used in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to treat individuals who experienced abuse or violence, who survived natural disasters, who were first responders to such incidents, or who otherwise experienced trauma.

How long does cognitive processing therapy last?

CPT is a short-term therapy. Whether conducted one-on-one or in a group, a complete set of CPT sessions typically includes 12 weekly sessions, along with tasks for clients to complete at home, although this can vary depending on a client’s needs or a therapist’s particular treatment plan. Sessions typically last 60 or 90 minutes.

How effective is cognitive processing therapy?

A large body of research supports the use of CPT to treat people experiencing PTSD, finding it to be effective among different age groups, either in one-on-one therapy sessions or in a group therapy environment. Research suggests that although the initial sessions may be difficult, clients tend to begin to feel positive progress after the first few sessions, and that the benefits tend to last well after the therapy ends.
