Trauma Affects Different People in Different Ways

Trauma can affect people in many ways. One way is that it can cause Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD.  PTSD is debilitating; however, it is treatable. PTSD isn’t just a history of trauma, instead, it is a current collection of symptoms negatively affecting your life based on past trauma that keeps showing up in your present life. 

CPT and PE As Treatment for PTSD

Embarking on evidence-based PTSD treatment, such as Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) or Prolonged Exposure (PE), marks a courageous step toward healing. At Thrive Therapy, Inc., our approach is collaborative, meaning you and your therapist work together as a team. This supportive journey is centered on your unique experiences, fostering a safe space for exploration.

During CPT or PE, you can expect a results-focused approach. This means that together, we’ll identify specific goals to work towards, helping you regain control over your life. The therapy is designed to be time-limited, recognizing the importance of efficiently and effectively addressing trauma. By focusing on your strengths and resilience, we aim to empower you on your path to recovery.

What to Expect During CPT and PE Therapy

During Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) or Prolonged Exposure (PE), homework assignments play a crucial role in the healing process. Consider them as tools to help you practice and reinforce the skills you’re learning during therapy sessions. Just like learning to ride a bike or play a musical instrument, acquiring new coping strategies and processing techniques requires practice and repetition.

Homework Allows You to Integrate What You Learn in Trauma Therapy in Your Life

Homework in CPT or PE is designed to be a bridge between therapy sessions. It provides an opportunity for you to integrate what you’ve learned into your daily life. This practice is fundamental for building and strengthening the skills needed to navigate the challenges that may arise. It’s like taking the concepts discussed in therapy and applying them in real-world scenarios. Additionally, fostering a deeper understanding and mastery of these essential skills.

We understand that learning new skills without practice is like trying to become a skilled chef without ever stepping into the kitchen. Homework assignments are a supportive and essential component of your therapeutic journey. They allow you to actively engage in your healing process. As you invest time and effort into completing these assignments, you’ll find yourself better equipped to face and overcome the impact of trauma. Ultimately, leading to a more empowered and resilient you.

Our therapists at Thrive Therapy, Inc. are here to guide you through this process with empathy and understanding. Remember, you’re not alone, and healing is possible.
