Ever wondered how PTSD affects the mind and body? In this episode of the 'Counselor Toolbox Podcast', Dr. Dawn-Elise Snipes breaks down the complexities of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and introduces Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) as a treatment. Dr. Snipes dives into the nitty-gritty of PTSD symptoms, including avoidance behaviors, hypervigilance, and guilt. She sheds light on why these symptoms occur and how they can be both functional and dysfunctional.
For example, avoidance might initially help someone cope, but over time, it can become overgeneralized, making life increasingly difficult. Dr. Snipes emphasizes the importance of education in PTSD treatment, helping sufferers understand their behaviors and gradually desensitize to trauma reminders. This episode is packed with practical advice for anyone dealing with PTSD, whether you're a professional counselor or someone seeking personal help.
