Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is considered a first-line treatment for PTSD (American Psychological Association, 2025). CBT is the most thoroughly investigated treatment and has proven to be safe and effective (Harvey et al., 2003). Marisol has expressed worsening depression. CBT is effective at relieving PTSD symptoms and symptoms of depression, anxiety that may go along with PTSD (Shubina, 2015). When presenting this option to Marisol, I would explain to her what CBT is. I would explain that CBT is a short-term therapy, and the results are easily maintained. If she knows that it is a short-term therapy, she may be more likely to commit to this therapy. I would also explain to her that evidence supports CBT and that the main purpose of CBT in PTSD is to reduce discomfort and improve her life. I would explain that CBT can help get the feeling of being haunted away and it would help her identify and modify stuck points or unhelpful beliefs and reframe them. Further, I would explain that CBT helps her to regain control rather than reliving the trauma, and it would help her to make the memories less painful and disruptive. Hopefully, helping her understand that she will have control over the trauma may help encourage engagement. Need Assignment Help?
