What is Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)?
Trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) is a specialized form of cognitive-behavioral therapy that helps individuals, especially children and adolescents, process and recover from traumatic experiences. TF-CBT combines traditional cognitive-behavioral techniques with trauma-specific strategies to address the emotional and psychological effects of trauma, such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Through structured and goal-oriented sessions, individuals are guided to understand and challenge negative thought patterns, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and gradually reduce the emotional impact of trauma. TF-CBT is highly effective in promoting emotional healing and recovery from trauma.
