Abstract

This article investigates the integration of mindfulness techniques into cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for individuals diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Our study aims to evaluate the efficacy of combining these approaches to improve treatment outcomes. The incorporation of mindfulness practices is hypothesized to aid in the reduction of PTSD symptom severity and enhance emotional regulation. Preliminary findings demonstrate promising results, suggesting that the fusion of CBT and mindfulness offers a holistic and effective treatment modality for PTSD sufferers.
