TPT is based on the idea that our perception of time can have a profound impact on our mental health. When we experience a traumatic event, it can disrupt our sense of time. We may feel like we are stuck in the past, unable to move on. Or, we may feel like the future is uncertain and unsafe. These distorted time perspectives can lead to the symptoms of PTSD.

TPT helps people with PTSD to reframe their perception of time. Through a series of exercises and activities, TPT helps people to:

• Understand the different time perspectives and how they can affect our mental health
• Identify the distorted time perspectives that are contributing to their PTSD
• Develop healthier time perspectives that will support their recovery

TPT has been shown to be an effective treatment for PTSD. In one study, people with PTSD who received TPT experienced a significant reduction in symptoms compared to those who received traditional therapy. TPT has also been shown to be effective in preventing PTSD from developing in people who have experienced a traumatic event.
