CPT is a 12-session cognitive behavioral treatment for PTSD that can be personalized to include fewer or additional sessions. CPT teaches patients to recognize and challenge dysfunctional cognitions about their traumatic experiences and current beliefs about themselves and others. Through CPT, patients learn about symptoms of PTSD and the connection between trauma-based thoughts and feelings. CPT clinicians engage patients to recognize and challenge unrealistic thoughts, referred to as “stuck points,” throughout the course of treatment.
