After a traumatic event, it is common to feel a profound and often irrational sense of guilt or shame. You may find yourself thinking, "What could I have done differently?" or "It's all my fault." This survivor's guilt or misplaced self-blame is a powerful and painful symptom of PTSD. The brain, in its attempt to make sense of a senseless event, often tries to find a reason or a person to blame, and that person is often you. This heavy burden of guilt can make it feel impossible to move forward.

What makes us different

OUR PROMISE

Releasing this burden begins with understanding that guilt is a normal part of the trauma response, but that it's often not based in reality. A therapist can help you examine these thoughts and challenge the irrational beliefs that are holding you captive. Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is highly effective for this, as it helps you re-evaluate the "stuck points" or distorted beliefs about the trauma. You'll learn to separate what was in your control from what was not, allowing you to let go of the guilt and find a sense of peace.
