Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for PTSD

Cognitive behavioral therapy teaches us to gradually approach trauma related memories and feelings. It also applies meditative or mindful practices so we can lower our sense of anxiousness and arousal. There's also medication, I'm not going to talk about that so much,. Things like SSRIs, it's not so much for treating PTSD but more for treating some of those other conditions such as depression and anxiety. And finally creating a safe environment. Creating an environment where you feel like you were able to process your trauma and you are able to feel safe in a way that maybe you didn't get to feel before.
