Understanding Trauma and PTSD
Trauma can stem from many different life experiences, including:
- Military combat
- Sexual assault or abuse
- Childhood trauma
- Domestic violence
- Car accidents or natural disasters
- Sudden loss of a loved one
- Medical trauma
Experiencing trauma can lead to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a mental health condition that affects millions of Americans. PTSD symptoms may include:
- Intrusive thoughts or flashbacks
- Nightmares
- Anxiety and hypervigilance
- Avoidance of trauma-related situations
- Emotional numbness or detachment
Without professional treatment, PTSD can interfere with daily life, relationships, and overall well-being. Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) has, however, been proven to effectively reduce PTSD symptoms, helping individuals regain control over their lives.
What is Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)?
CPT is an evidence-based treatment specifically designed to help people process and overcome trauma. Developed in the late 1980s, CPT is recognized by organizations such as the American Psychological Association (APA) and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) as a leading treatment for PTSD.
CPT is based on cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) principles and focuses on helping people reframe negative thoughts they have that are related to trauma. Many people with PTSD develop unhelpful beliefs, commonly known as “stuck points,” like self-blame, guilt, or mistrust of others. CPT helps clients challenge these thoughts, allowing for emotional healing and improved mental health.
How CPT Works at REF Counseling
At R.E.F Counseling, we offer online Cognitive Processing Therapy for adults across Texas, ensuring that you receive expert trauma therapy no matter where you’re located in the state. Our approach includes:
1. Initial Assessment & Personalized Treatment Plan
Each client starts with a comprehensive intake session to assess their trauma history, symptoms, and personal therapy goals. This ensures that CPT is the right fit for your needs.
2. Structured 12-Session Therapy Program
CPT typically consists of 12 weekly sessions, each lasting 50–60 minutes. During these sessions, you will:
- Learn about PTSD and how trauma affects your thoughts and emotions
- Identify “stuck points” that contribute to your distress
- Engage in writing exercises and cognitive restructuring to challenge unhelpful beliefs
- Develop healthier perspectives and coping strategies
3. Evidence-Based Techniques Used in CPT
At R.E.F Counseling, our therapists utilize clinically proven techniques to guide your healing process:
- Trauma Narratives: Writing about your traumatic experience to process emotions and gain insight
- Cognitive Restructuring: Learning to challenge and replace harmful beliefs
- Impact Statements: Reflecting on how trauma has influenced your life and developing healthier perspectives
- Exposure to Trauma-Related Thoughts: Reducing avoidance behaviors by safely confronting distressing thoughts
4. Ongoing Support & Progress Monitoring
Throughout the treatment process, your therapist will track your progress and provide you with personalized feedback to make sure that you’re developing the skills you need for long-term recovery.
