Cognitive Processing Therapy Training
Join us for an interactive, in-person, one-day, evidenced-based training workshop where you'll dive deep into Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) techniques. This hands-on training , skills-focused training is designed to help clinicians walk away with practical tools they can use right away to help clients challenge stuck points, examine unhelpful beliefs, and move toward healing.
Throughout the day, participants will learn the cognitive theory of PTSD and how stuck points maintain symptoms. The training will cover the full CPT protocol, how it differs from CPT+A, and how to use Socratic dialogue to help clients examine thoughts and beliefs connected to trauma.
Participants will also practice applying core CPT tools, including the A-B-C Worksheet, Challenging Questions Worksheet, and Challenging Beliefs Worksheet. The training will explore how to identify patterns of problematic thinking in client statements, understand the impact statement, and work with the five trauma themes.
This training is engaging, interactive, and clinically focused, with didactic instruction, demonstrations, worksheet practice, role-play, practice exercises, and small group work. Participants will receive resources, worksheets, handouts, and case examples to support their continued clinical application.
Attendees will leave with practical strategies, greater confidence, and a stronger foundation for helping clients move from stuck to strength and healing.
