You can’t think your way out of a survival habit—but you can dismantle the "stuck points" that keep it running.
What is CPT?
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is a specific, evidence-based type of therapy designed to help you recover from trauma and C-PTSD. If you feel like your brain has been "hijacked" by old beliefs that no longer serve you, CPT is the toolkit we use to take the controls back.
The "Stuck Points"
When we go through stressful or traumatic experiences, epecially the long-term stress of being the "Good Child" or the "Reliable One"—our brains create "rules" to keep us safe. We call these Stuck Points. They sound like:
"I am only valuable if I am productive."
"If I say no, I am a bad person."
"The world is dangerous, so I can never relax."
"Everything is my fault."
These aren't just thoughts; they are the foundation of your survival habits. They are the fuel for your Loud Inner Critic.
How It Works
CPT isn't about "positive thinking" or "lame affirmations." It’s about logic and evidence. * The Process: We look at your Stuck Points under a microscope. We examine where they came from and—more importantly—if they are actually true today.
The Work: This is an active, structured approach. We work together to challenge these old rules and replace them with "balanced" thoughts that allow you to breathe.
The Goal: To move from "I’m not safe" or "I’m not enough" to a place where you finally feel secure in who you are.
Why I Use CPT for "The Fixers"
I use CPT because it respects your time. It’s not about talking in circles for years; it’s a 12-session framework (though we move at your pace) that gives you actual skills you can use for the rest of your life.
It’s the bridge between being an "exhausted performer" and becoming a human being who finally has some peace and quiet inside their own head.
