Abstract
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a severe stress response that can have a long-term impact on an individual's functionality after experiencing traumatic events such as accidents, natural disasters, or physical or sexual violence. The PTSD treatment model developed by Ehlers and Clark, which is one of the CBT protocols used in trauma therapy, suggests that the negative evaluation of the trauma and/or its aftermath by the individual, the differences in the nature of memory related to the event, and the coping strategies used by the person also play a role in the formation and continuation of trauma. This article discusses a CBT process using Ehlers and Clark's model in a young 18-year-old with PTSD. During the process, the re-experiencing was reduced, the negative evaluations of trauma and its consequences were addressed, and the dysfunctional coping strategies were modified. After 12 sessions, the client no longer met the PTSD diagnostic criteria, their complaints were resolved, and there was a significant improvement in their functionality.
