How Can Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Help Me After an Accident?

Being in a road traffic accident can be a difficult and stressful experience, and can often prompt a complex emotional reaction, such as anxiety, or post-traumatic stress disorder.

You may also feel panicky, or experience disturbing memories or flashbacks of the incident. This can lead to difficulty sleeping, hyper vigilance, and can even affect your mood and your confidence.

Post-traumatic stress disorder might not occur straight away, but generally symptoms can show within six months.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, also known as CBT, is a talking therapy which can help you to change your behaviours or thinking patterns that have been brought on by your accident.

Winn Solicitors can arrange for you to have CBT after your accident if it should be required, as part of your claim. Our specially trained providers can tailor your therapy to meet your specific requirements. This will help to alleviate the stress and strain caused by the accident, and allow you to focus on moving forward with your life.

CBT can be an important part of your rehabilitation, alongside physiotherapy. This can form part of your rehabilitation, which will help to get you back on the road after your accident.

You’ll benefit from flexible assessment and treatment times, and therapists that are accessible to you.
