Cognitive Processing Therapy for Trauma Narratives
A structured trauma-focused psychotherapy that asks you to recount feared or traumatic events in complete detail, including thoughts, emotions, and memories, then work with the therapist to build a new, more accurate narrative around them. The repeated, detailed processing helps reduce avoidance and fear by changing the meaning the brain assigns to the event.
