Leading authorities--including the originator of CPT--have created a complete program featuring step-by-step exercises, downloadable practical tools, and empathic stories of men and women working toward recovery. CPT helps PTSD sufferers systematically reexamine unhelpful thoughts about traumatic experiences, so that the memories become less painful and overwhelming. It helps people navigate the impact of trauma in relationships and restore a sense of safety and trust. Readers learn how to get unstuck from what happened in the past--so they can build the life they want now. "--
