Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) was the first evidence-based treatment for PTSD that was designed for women survivors of rape and child abuse. The manual has been translated into 14 languages and has been proven to be effective at treating PTSD and related symptoms of depression, shame and guilt in women recovering from all types of traumatic events. CPT can be used with clients who have complex PTSD histories and the results have been shown to last 5-10 years later. This recording will provide a brief review of the evidence for CPT followed by a brief overview of how the treatment can help women regain the control of their lives after bring impacted by traumatic events.
