Are you ready to feel safe again?
However, if your trauma symptoms are getting worse and you are not able to move on with your life even when a considerable amount of time has passed by, you may be experiencing Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
At 180 Therapy PLLC, our state certified provider offers Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), a treatment specifically designed for those diagnosed withPSTD. It has been found effective for those who have newly experienced trauma, as well as those who have suffered for years.
What is Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)?
An evidenced based therapy that can be completed in as little as 9 to 20 sessions, typically ending after 12 sessions.
Targets negative thoughts and beliefs about one’s self, others, and the world that may have developed as a result of the traumatic experience.
Also effective for those with cognitive deficiencies, brain disease, early stages of dementia, and traumatic brain injury.
After successful completion of CPT, many individuals with PTSD report significantly reduced or complete remission from symptoms. Clients also report experiencing a closer connection with others, and an increase of pleasurable life experiences. Some share a return to their “old me,” or a “coming back,” to enjoy life again.
Understanding Trauma and PTSD
Trauma is an emotional response to a deeply distressing event in life. Common symptoms of trauma include persistent flashbacks of negative events, feeling anxious and on edge, powerful feelings of guilt or shame, feelings of sadness and despair, shock and disbelief, anger, nausea, headaches and migraines.
It is normal to have negative thoughts and feelings after a particularly stressful experience. For those who develop PTSD, these thoughts and feelings continue to worsen and impact their daily lives – leading to strained relationships, reduced productivity at work and depression.
PTSD not only affects your emotional but physical well-being as well. It can cause insomnia, migraines, heart disease, obesity, high blood pressure, poor immunity and gastrointestinal problems. It is, therefore, very important to seek help.
If you believe you may be suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, please reach out to 180 Therapy.
