CBT-Based Cognitive Processing of Difficult Experiences
A structured, language-based form of cognitive behavioral therapy that asks you to recount difficult experiences in full detail, including internal feelings and memories before, during, and after the event. By identifying the thoughts and stories attached to the experience and then reshaping them, it helps reduce fear responses, process trauma, and replace self-defeating narratives with more workable ones.
