Deep dives

Understanding Complex PTSD

Complex PTSD, often stemming from ongoing traumatic experiences, particularly in childhood, differs from PTSD originating from singular events. The symptoms, including flashbacks, low self-esteem, hypersensitivity, avoidance, lack of emotional regulation, intense guilt or shame, and dissociation, can accumulate over time. Personal experiences of childhood traumas, like emotional abuse and neglectful parenting, shape individuals' emotional responses and relational dynamics.
