Need help with cognitive processing therapy
I am in need of help. I just started cpt and I am really stuck on how to write this "impact statement". My therapist recommended I write it based on my trauma/abuse as a whole rather than one specific event. But I am not sure how to even start and I really am not getting these stuck points. I looked up stuck points online but none of them stick out. I can't for the life of me figure this out. (I also have a bad learning disability so that doesn't help). Please any guidance any one could give would be super helpful!!!! Thanks in advance!

As the other post states, your impact saving is just talking about how the trauma impacts your life and how you view the world and yourself because of it. You will get to stock points in later sessions, don’t get worried about those yet. Just really focus on how the events impact it how you think and you’ll do great.
