I'm not an expert, but cbt has helped me get back into life again. I was hoping to find a guy here named Billy who encouraged me when i was learning cbt because I wanted to share how great I am doing and thank him but I can't find any of his notes?
I will see if I can help the person you mentioned in your note now.

What is CBT?

cbt is cognitive behavioral therapy. It teaches you
exercises to counter your thoughts and help you think
more realistically and this reduces your anxiety
because your thoughts are at the heart of what makes
you anxious in the first place. Try and get involved
in cbt and learn how to use a tea form it will change
your life. The two books we used in my group are
really really good and I would recommend them both
highly: Been there, done that? Do this! by Sam Obitz
and Mastery of your Anxiety and Panic-Third Edition by
Michelle Craske and David Barlow. Any book on cbt is
bound to be useful :)

Is CBT also good for someone who has Post Traumatic Stress Disorder?

I think Billy hangs out at the depression board, try posting him there.
