Practices that may help

1. 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.
2. 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.

3. 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.

6. Build a twice-daily practice schedule (Jacobson’s original dose)
   Jacobson prescribed twice-daily sessions for weeks — the depth of skill his method requires exceeds what a once-a-week session delivers.

7. Track and communicate sensory sensitivity changes during SSP
   Monitoring sensory reactivity across sessions gives the clinician the data to pace the protocol safely.

8. Understand the PTSD cycle — education is part of treatment
   Learning why PTSD works the way it does reduces self-blame and makes the logic of exposure credible.

9. Reevaluation at the Start of Each Session
   Begin every new EMDR session by checking whether last session’s gains held — and what emerged in between.

10. Use Socratic questions to examine stuck points
    Challenge stuck points with specific questions that examine the evidence rather than argue against the belief.
