Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT): structured support after trauma

Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (TF-CBT) is a structured, phased therapy for trauma-related symptoms. The model was developed mainly for children and adolescents, with parents or caregivers taking part when this helps; some therapists apply its principles with adults.

Treatment usually begins with understanding trauma reactions and learning coping skills for anxiety, sleep and strong emotions. Once there is enough stability, the work turns to the trauma memories and the beliefs attached to them, then to consolidating what has changed. It is used for trauma, PTSD, nightmares and anxiety after frightening events.

A responsible therapist adapts the pace and checks safety at each step.

Berlin is one of Europe’s most international cities, and many residents look for TF-CBT in English or in another language they feel at home in. Treatment usually moves in phases: understanding trauma reactions and learning coping skills, then work on memories and beliefs, then consolidation.

If you plan to claim the cost from a German or international insurer, ask which qualifications it accepts; therapists provide invoices you can submit.

Does German health insurance pay for therapy?

Statutory health insurance (gesetzliche Krankenversicherung) covers psychotherapy with licensed psychotherapists who have a contract with the insurance funds, but waiting times of several months are common.

Therapists provide invoices you can submit to your insurer.
