This is a question often heard in supervision. When it comes to Cognitive Processing Therapy and this question, there is research to help guide clinicians. LoSavio, et al. (2019) examined unhelpful beliefs that therapist might have about CPT (in CPT language “stuck points”) and PTSD treatment. For example, “If I
It might seem counter intuitive, but there is evidence that supports the treatment of co-morbid PTSD and mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) with CPT. Crocker et al. (2019) trialed a variation of CPT modified for mTBI; SMART-CPT combined compensatory cognitive training components of Cognitive Symptom Management and Rehabilitation Therapy (CogSMART)

Holder et al. (2019) looked at predictors of dropout from a randomized clinical trial of Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for female
It might be easy to assume that those who we consider “high functioning” may be at risk of PTSD, especially so when those people are working in the same area as us. However, it is always prudent to be aware of statistics rather than our own bias. In a 2019
PTSD and nightmares have had a long association, there is also believed to be a link between the occurrence of PTSD related nightmares and suicidal ideation. If a change in the intensity and frequency of PTSD related nightmares is linked to reduction of suicide due to PTSD then it makes
With the potential for people in rural and remote areas of Australia to now access services via video conferencing the question is, can Cognitive Processing Therapy delivered by video work? There are now four noninferiority trials (yes trials to find out if video conference delivery was inferior or not) showing
The current bushfire emergency may be a reminder for those who have been through a traumatic event. For some survivors this can mean an increase in stress and reactions ranging from feeling mildly upset for a day or two to more extreme reactions with more severe symptoms. This can be
