Cognitive processing therapy (CPT) is a manualized therapy used to help people recover from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and related conditions. It includes elements of CBT and typically runs for 12-session plus assessment.
CPT conceptualizes PTSD as a disorder of non-recovery rooted in the avoidance of distressing thoughts and concepts. It theorizes that a person's beliefs about the causes and consequences of traumatic events produce strong negative emotions, which prevent accurate processing of the traumatic memory and the emotions resulting from the events.
One of my favorite quotes from the CPT manual, "There are as many "ways of avoidance as there are clients."
As all trauma based program, CPT has a high drop out rate, however, it typically has fast results.
The three Ps in ‘Triple P’ stand for ‘Positive Parenting Program’ which means your family life is going to be much more enjoyable.
Triple P helps you:
Raise happy, confident kids
Manage misbehavior so everyone in the family enjoys life more
Set rules and routines that everyone respects and follows
Encourage behavior you like
Take care of yourself as a parent
Feel confident you’re doing the right thing
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a psycho-social therapy that focuses on challenging and changing unhelpful cognitive distortions (e.g. thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes). Originally, it was designed to treat depression, but its uses have been expanded to include treatment of a number of mental health conditions, including anxiety, bipolar, and schizophrenia.
CBT is based on the belief that thought distortions and maladaptive behaviors play a role in the disorders, and that symptoms can be reduced by teaching new information-processing skills and coping mechanisms.
CBT has roots in ancient philosophy, however, the father of modern CBT is considered to be Aaron T. Beck.
