Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT / CPT)

for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder

Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Cognitive Processing Therapy are structured psychological therapies that help process traumatic memories and challenge distorted beliefs formed as a result of trauma.

How it works

Addresses 'stuck points' — trauma-related beliefs that maintain avoidance and emotional numbing. Includes trauma narrative work and cognitive restructuring of guilt, shame, and safety appraisals.

What to watch for

Requires a trauma-trained therapist. The process of engaging with traumatic material can temporarily increase distress — this is normal and passes. Must be approached at the person's pace.
