Complex trauma changes the way that an individual views themselves, others, and the world around them. Often due to these pervasive traumas, individuals develop negative and automatic thoughts, often referred to as “stuck points.” 

Cognitive processing therapy (CPT) helps individuals to recognize these stuck points that often impede one’s ability to process and heal from trauma. CPT is an evidence-based treatment modality that has been proven to be effective in treating individuals with complex trauma. It has been endorsed by the US Department of Veterans Affairs and Defense, the American Psychological Association, the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies, and many more as a treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and related conditions. 

Through the use of case vignettes, videos, polls, and group discussions, attendees will learn effective and concrete tools to help their clients unpack and repack their trauma narratives using CPT. While CPT is a treatment modality often used with active servicemembers and veterans, research has indicated that it can be used with a wide range of individuals with a primary diagnosis of PTSD, regardless of military experience. 

This webinar will provide you with an array of tools, resources, and handouts to help clients with PTSD get unstuck so that they can heal despite their trauma narratives. This is an interactive workshop where case vignettes will be presented and participants will work in a group setting.    


Audience: Social Workers, LCPCs, and Psychologists, anyone interested in the topic.
