What is TFCBT therapy?

Written by a licensed therapist who is trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is an evidenced based treatment option for people living with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).  It has been shown in research to effectively reduce PTSD symptoms.

In TFCBT, your therapist will work with you on building coping skills necessary to tackle your trauma.  TFCBT involves talking about your trauma in detail with your therapist as a way to desensitize your system to the trauma.  By talking about it in a therapeutic environment where YOU are in control of all aspects of the treatment, PTSD symptoms slowly reduce.  In this process, THE CLIENT is in charge of how they tell their story, when they need to take breaks and when they want to completely avoid talking about it.
