Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD
Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD (CPT-PTSD), also known as cognitive processing therapy for sexual abuse (CPT-SA) training, is for professionals who provide mental health services. It is an adaptation of cognitive processing therapy that has been used to effectively treat individuals suffering from various traumas.
CPT and CPT-PTSD can be used to reduce PTSD and related symptoms in veterans, rape survivors, child sexual abuse survivors and other types of traumas. CPT-PTSD includes sections specifically designed to focus on the areas of concern for sexual abuse survivors including safety, trust, power / control, self-esteem, communication, intimacy and social support.
This training consists of 12 hours of classroom work delivered over two days.
