Children's Accelerated Trauma Technique (CATT)

Is a technique which is effective and safe for working with adults or children with PTSD or CPTSD which combines CBT principles with creative arts to process trauma safely and quickly. I trained with Trauma Psychology. The technique fits well within my Art Therapy practice.

"A Trauma Therapy That Works

CATT is the only therapy designed specifically for children and young people with PTSD or C-PTSD from the roots up, but it works for everyone. CATT, though developed with children and young people in mind, has been used successfully with adults, too. The protocol is so easily adaptable that any setting offering therapeutic support to adults can reap the benefits of CATT for adult patients and clients.

Adults mostly communicate verbally through language, but that doesn’t mean they cannot benefit from an adaptable, holistic trauma-focused therapy combining CBT principles with creative arts methods. CATT respects choice, promotes access to treatment, and holds the patient or client at the forefront of the therapy. 

Using these approaches within the treatment expands the individual’s capacity for communication and expression to speed up the process of getting trauma that’s been stored on the inside, out."
