Complex PTSD affects the brain long-term and can affect your closest relationships

In SCOTLAND 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 it’s 🫥 NHS JUST don’t want to Know …..💀

She literally says often times why are yall so confused by her words 😐she never said it was only childhood trauma that causes CTPTSD

My CPTSD is from horrific bullying all through school, often ignored or even encouraged by teachers. I'm 52, and I still have nightmares. Single, childless, no education. It's hard to live in the ruins of the life that was stolen from me.

There is no treating/cure for my trauma conditions 😭

YOGA

This is so true!

Why hasn’t my behavioral health provider spoken with me about this. Now I recognize what’s happening 11/7/23 hello FLG AZ

its not just childhood trauma, it could also be from being in abusive household or relationship for a prolonged time.,

My ptsd started cropping up in my mid 30s after my mom passed. Lost lots of friends around the same time who apparently didnt think my mental health needs were valid or some bs

I might have ptsd

It can happen at anytime in your life. Not just childhood.

Who can afford the help

It is very expensive to havle long term therapy

Its not just childhood trauma. Its caused by long term traumatic environments. Common in domestic violence survivors, people who've lived in war zones, victims of human trafficking, etc. It may be more pervasive when trauma is experienced in childhood but by no means the only cause

You just eventually realize no one can ever be trusted and enjoy your life as much as you can, find one or two people you can partially trust and have as much fun as you can. it helps to have a job or career you love and spend your life doing and enjoying. Reality is damaging, once you've seen things, you can't be "fixed". Just recognize that, move on and live the very best life you can.

I was chronically abused by my alcoholic parent in childhood and had suicidal thoughts, engaged in self-harm (cutting and hitting), had disordered eating (would binge and then restrict food) and was very depressed and anxious. Thank goodness I went to therapy in college and began a path of healing. I honestly don't think I would be here today if I did not seek help.

But not a cent in compensation

I have been attacked for so many years, that I don't even know if I'm still under attack. I Am Always On Alert! I look comfortable but my spirit is always on high alert. I sleep with one eye open. Any moment can be a code red. I would have made a hell of a soldier.

It's about time mainstream caught on!!

CPTSD Is caused by eating sugar, dairy products, and wheat.

😢

You may be offered therapies used to treat PTSD such as trauma-cognitve behavioral therapy (CBT) or eye movement desensitisation reprocessing (EDMR)

Is there such thing as life in America without traumatic events? And it’s only getting worse.

Sad.. I've been going to a therapist off and on for years but often felt they weren't helping. I was recently sharing w a new co worker what I going through and her response was "You know that's a form of PTSD?" hence I'm here researching. How do you find trained professionals to help and where?

Raise awareness that mothers are most likely to be traumatized which is why they want to live through others.

A mother can not self actualize until she is 40 years old.

Any mother having kids before that is using the child as a doll

That’s a weird description of it. “From childhood”, wtf. It died t have to be. It actually means experiencing more than one traumatic event.

Thank you America and especially navy

It’s not just childhood trauma… it can happen to young adults/adults via many situations :(

How the fucck do I get rid of it

Great lady.

It doesn’t have to start from childhood experiences. It ca start when you’re 20,30,40, and so on. It’s still a traumatic happening of multiple events.

Not enough reference to the point

Not the best representation of CPTSD but I'm glad to see it in the mainstream media. It's a start.

Appreciate you

I noticed my behavior, and my family has talked to me about it. I’m glad that I reached out to my therapist. It’s a long journey

I have cptsd. It's hard. But grounding and cannabis makes it more worthwhile.

I've known this well its been my life for 40 years .I'm a survivor it made me strong but the side affect .introversion. I stay so isolated .I seldom use my voice lol. .it's a sucky life .I own it and for those like me that survivor this daily ...no one could ever understand unless you spent one day in our heads. .I smile cause I'm still here

"All forms of violence are a quest for identity. When you live out in the frontier you behave no identity, therfore you get very tough. You have to prove that you are somebody, and so you become very violent. And so, identity is always accompanied by violence. This, ah, seems paradoxical to you?

Ordinary people find the need for violence as they loose their identities. So it is only the threat to people's identity that make them violent... they are determined to make it somehow; to get coverage; to get noticed."

[Violence As Quest For Identity, Marshall McLuhan, TVO, Canada, 1977]

Microdosing Psilocybin and taking Lion's Mane can allow the brain to rewire itself and heal bad sectors caused by childhood trauma. I am a 55M who has suffered CPTSD my entire adult life. It has had a profound effect on almost all aspects of my life and my journey to healing has been long and arduous to say the least. Very pleased to have discovered microdosing and its nervous system healing effects. It has changed my life by allowing me to reshape my internal landscape from one of fear, anxiety, anger and depression to one that can access a place of deep calm and love for myself, others and life in general. This awareness has opened or engaged a spiritual component of my being I was not connected to and barely aware of. This has brought a sense of connected contentment that allows me to be comfortable where I am in life and in myself. The change is so profound its almost miraculous.

I’m 24 and have Complex PTSD. I struggle with sleeping, have a substance abuse problem, and sometimes I wake up shaking all over. I could stare off into the distance all day if it were appropriate. I wanna isolate all day but I don’t eat enough. when in dangerous situations I’m numb. but the worst part? I feel like I never really belong, and nobody could really understand. Turns out - they can.

This is not complex ptsd. I'm a therapist and this is a terrible description with a lot of inaccuracies

I thought I may have CPTSD, now I know I do. Talking with my therapist but damn.

我受迫害在年轻时，我现在有很严重的Cptsd而且年纪也老了，我有人权说出来和分析本质，想捂着我的嘴巴，这是我的人权，这是民主！

Psychedelics are just an amazing discovery. It's quite fascinating how effective they are for depression and stress.. Saved my life.

Here in oxfordshire nhs there is 0 support for mh and if ur an adopted reject adult like me not a chance until i kill myself

This was hard to watch. It’s painful how minimal resources and educational material are for this. There wasn’t even a correct definition of Complex PTSD and trauma as a whole was quickly diminished to something almost common. Then immediately jumped to the way it’s passed on. Such a mess of ideas and this biggest issue is audience and connotation etc. it’s abc thou

Wrong it doesn't always just start in your childhood and start in a terrible place like Vietnam or Iraq where US soldiers witnessed the Allied bombing of children and the immediate effects on the ground if you know what I mean

I've got all of these, very accurate.

And on top of that apply bipolar disorder

I mean, it’s listing off a lot of symptoms
