Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

  • When I try to untangle one of these convictions in my head it just spins
  • I want to work on this, but the thought of having to write out or relive every detail of what happened is exactly what stops me cold
  • When I’m upset it’s all just one big formless cloud of bad
  • I’ve written down good things to remind myself of, but in the actual moment of panic the words feel like a stranger’s
  • I’ve been focused on the obvious wound

Practices that may help

  1. Use a challenging beliefs worksheet to work a stuck point completely
    The CPT challenging beliefs worksheet is a structured, written process for examining one stuck point at a time.

  2. The Coping Card
    A coping card is a physical or digital card carrying your pre-prepared rational responses to your most common distorted thoughts or crisis triggers — written in advance, when you are calm, so they are available when you are not. Coping cards are a standard CBT tool with strong clinical consensus; they work because working memory and rational access are impaired under stress, and a card externalizes the reasoning that would otherwise be unavailable.
  3. Behavioral Chain Analysis: The DBT Method for Understanding Problem Behaviors
    Behavioral chain analysis (BCA), a core DBT skill developed by Marsha Linehan, maps every link in the chain of events — from the original vulnerability through the triggering event, thoughts, feelings, and actions — that led to a problem behavior. By making the chain visible, BCA reveals multiple points where the sequence could have been broken, turning a post-hoc autopsy into a concrete prevention plan.
  4. Know that CPT-C (cognitive only) skips the trauma narrative
    A cognitive-only version of CPT omits the written trauma account and may be more tolerable for some people.

  5. Thought records
    A structured worksheet that captures situation, thought, emotion, evidence, and a balanced response.

  6. Make a physical card and practice reading it when calm
    A card you’ve never read when calm will not be read when anxious — rehearse it so it becomes reflexive.

  7. The Thought Record: CBT’s Core Self-Examination Tool
    A thought record is a structured worksheet from cognitive behavioral therapy that helps you identify the automatic thought behind a bad feeling, examine the evidence for and against it, and generate a more accurate, balanced alternative. It is the most widely used CBT self-help tool and a core component of the therapy protocols with the strongest evidence base. Used consistently, it trains the skill of cognitive evaluation until it becomes partly automatic.
  8. Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT): Unsticking the Meanings That Maintain PTSD
    Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), developed by Patricia Resick, treats PTSD primarily by identifying and challenging "stuck points" — distorted or overgeneralized beliefs about safety, trust, control, intimacy, and self-worth that the trauma produced. Multiple large randomized trials show CPT is among the most effective available treatments for PTSD, comparable to Prolonged Exposure. The core concepts and some worksheets are publicly available; the full protocol benefits significantly from a CPT-trained therapist.
  9. Examine stuck points across the five disrupted domains
    CPT organizes trauma-disrupted beliefs into five domains — Safety, Trust, Power, Esteem, Intimacy — to ensure none are missed.

  10. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Made Practical
    Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a structured, skills-based approach built on a simple idea: thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other, so changing what you think and do changes how you feel. CBT is among the most empirically supported psychotherapies for anxiety and depression across many randomized trials and meta-analyses. The skills below can be practiced on their own, though CBT for a diagnosed condition belongs with a qualified clinician.
