CBT is needed in the beginning as a foundation before CPT can be applied.Scott Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17861938200417302754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8207713177773691778.post-61937712883805714532009-03-03T23:18:00.000-05:002009-03-03T23:18:00.000-05:00Is CBT the same as Cognitive Processing Therapy?Ca...Is CBT the same as Cognitive Processing Therapy?<BR/><BR/><BR/>CatyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8207713177773691778.post-36660896155859841152009-03-03T15:23:00.000-05:002009-03-03T15:23:00.000-05:00How do we heal?

How can we look at multiple issues at the same time that have caused major trauma in our lives? Sometimes issues come from other origins like being an Adult Child of Alcoholics (ACOA. When do we allow ourselves to move through the grief process of denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. Sometimes we are so focused on the trauma we forget to focus on healing.<BR/><BR/>All my love,<BR/>PamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8207713177773691778.post-26656055653353786752009-03-02T21:49:00.000-05:002009-03-02T21:49:00.000-05:00It's messed-up that people will try to scam emotio...It's messed-up that people will try to scam emotionally traumatized people for a little cash. Isn't there anyone with dignity out-there anymore? Are there any people who truly care about a person's feelings more than "getting rich fast"?

The thing is that many practitioners themselves stop at coping strategies and basic psychotherapies. <BR/><BR/>Chronically traumatized persons will respond to these therapies and receive much needed relief from major--presenting--symptomology. By not addressing the underlying dissociated parts of the personality that drove the presenting symptoms, the survivor will be left with forever coping with and managing the structural dissociation. <BR/><BR/>Without appropriate interventions and therapies to address the structural dissociation, such as the Phase-Oriented approach, this can lead to periodic relapses into crisis and revictimization.Scott Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17861938200417302754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8207713177773691778.post-34811723537482866932009-03-02T09:13:00.000-05:002009-03-02T09:13:00.000-05:00Ha!

I've seen these sites, too, and thought it was ridiculous to claim that without anything else a few taps will change your life in 15 minutes. <BR/><BR/>The truth is, it can take a cocktail of therapies, plus tough internal work to find relief and/or release. I do believe it's possible, but not in 3 or 4 sessions where there's been no deep digging, no recognition of the problem or the self, no integration of the memories, or even some basic trust built up with the practitioner. <BR/><BR/>The thing I hate most about these sites is they promote the idea that trauma is simple to get over. As you and I know, it is not.Michele Rosenthalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13898364169417010039noreply@blogger.com
