In Cognitive Processing Therapy, when we approach your thinking, emotions, and memories, we sometimes approach this in a way for you to begin new patterns of thoughts.

One idea that you may be introduced to in Cognitive processing therapy is restructuring and modifying your thoughts and your memories.

You and your therapist may work together to modify your thoughts by:

  • Changing the conclusions that you make about people or experiences.
  • Challenging thoughts that things are worse than they are.
  • Building better skill sets.
  • Building emotional reasoning throughout areas of your life.
  • Exercising new pathways to understanding.

  • Have struggled with PTSD without much progress in treatment.
  • Feel good after talking with a counselor.
  • Are sad, anxious, or depressed and unable to move past a major event that has occurred in your life.
