Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is an evidence-based trauma-focussed psychological therapy to help individuals recover from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and related conditions. CPT conceptualises PTSD as a failure to recover in which erroneous beliefs about traumatic events, as well as the use of avoidance as an unhelpful coping strategy, serve to prevent accurate processing of the trauma memory. Cognitive Processing Therapy incorporates trauma-specific cognitive techniques to help individuals more accurately appraise their unhelpful beliefs about traumatic events to facilitate recovery.
