Exposure therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all.
In TF-CBT, exposure may happen through talking, writing, drawing—or even song lyrics for kids who express through music. The key is finding what feels safe and manageable.

In TF-CBT, exposure is gradual—starting with education and therapist modeling, not immediate trauma narration. Gentle pacing builds trust and readiness before going deeper.

💞 Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) helps children and teens heal from trauma—and supports caregivers coping with their own stress. Healing is strongest when everyone in the family has tools to recover.

Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all.
The new CPT manual drops the rigid 12-session model—for a reason.
