CPT is very much about writing about the trauma.

00:00:03.946 --> 00:00:06.836 A:middle
Now, you don't have to be a great writer to do this.

00:00:06.836 --> 00:00:09.106 A:middle
You don't have to spell right every time.

00:00:09.106 --> 00:00:10.816 A:middle
You don't have to have great grammar.

00:00:10.816 --> 00:00:14.056 A:middle
You just have to be able to use a pencil.

00:00:14.056 --> 00:00:18.406 A:middle
So you, but it gives an individual an opportunity

00:00:18.406 --> 00:00:22.096 A:middle
to sit down and in black and white put what's going on.

00:00:22.096 --> 00:00:27.186 A:middle
It opens it up to some clarity about what's going on.

00:00:27.186 --> 00:00:29.926 A:middle
Oftentimes, we feel what we feel,

00:00:29.926 --> 00:00:32.546 A:middle
and we don't really see the thought that's behind it.

00:00:32.546 --> 00:00:34.516 A:middle
So it gives us a chance to kind of back it up

00:00:34.516 --> 00:00:37.026 A:middle
and really examine what we're telling ourselves.

00:00:37.026 --> 00:00:40.946 A:middle
But it's written down, our own words.

00:00:40.946 --> 00:00:42.796 A:middle
Nobody's telling us what to put down.

00:00:42.796 --> 00:00:46.446 A:middle
We put down what we are thinking and feeling

00:00:46.446 --> 00:00:48.566 A:middle
and get a chance to examine it that way.
