Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
At Win Within Therapy Group, we know that trauma can change how you see yourself, others, and the world. Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is an evidence-based approach that helps individuals who have experienced trauma—such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)—understand and reframe the unhelpful thoughts and beliefs that keep them stuck in pain.
Through CPT, our goal is to help you process what happened, release self-blame, and rebuild a sense of safety, empowerment, and hope.
What Is Cognitive Processing Therapy?
CPT is a structured form of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) specifically developed to help people recover from trauma.
When we experience trauma, it can alter how we think about ourselves and the world—often leading to beliefs such as “I’m not safe,” “It was my fault,” or “I can’t trust anyone.” These beliefs can fuel ongoing symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, depression, and emotional distress.
CPT helps individuals:
- Identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts related to the traumatic event
- Reframe beliefs that may be contributing to guilt, shame, or fear
- Reduce PTSD symptoms such as flashbacks, avoidance, and hypervigilance
- Improve emotional regulation and self-understanding
- Rebuild trust, confidence, and connection with self and others
- By learning new ways to think about and process your experiences, CPT empowers you to move forward with clarity and control.
